30th anniversary

We went to Iceland for a 30th anniversary trip but also to spendtime with family. We had a wonderful time there. The hotel was very accommodating with a great breakfast to start the day. There was so much variety to choose from. Yulia was so helpful and fun to talk to. We loved being there
Northern lights were a tad hard to get because it was so cloudy, but these were taken even though it was overcast
A sculpture on our cold walk by the water

Breakfast was amazing and sets you up for the day. Staff are very helpful and personable. Rooms are clean and spacious. I would recommend this hotel. It's a short walk to bus stop 13 by but Foss Hotel Lind is nearer if you have mobility issues.

The staff and breakfast buffet are wonderful. The room we had was fine and clean. It’s just not in great shape. The beds and pull out couch (kids slept on this) were old and not comfortable. The toilet seat was stained, the wallpaper was falling off in places. But it’s a great location - near busy stop 13 for tours. We really spent no time in our room as we were out walking to see the city. We could walk down to the water in 20 minutes. Near a 10-11 for snacks, lots of restaurants. If they could invest in some new beds I would even give it a 5.

Staff was wonderful! Only complaint is that the smoke alarm went off in the hotel due to a toaster! Got up at 7AM because someone in the dining room wanted crispy toast. So you're definitely safe here since their smoke alarms work really well.
