So this is not close to downtown Reykjavík. By bus it is 45 minutes away by care 20-25 online and at the front desk it is advertised as 15 minutes. The hotel breakfast was beyond basic but overall poor quality. The juice machine was giving watery juice and there were flies around. Nothing tasted fresh but rather made the day before. The rooms are cheaply furnished like dorm room furniture and the black out curtains aren’t long enough to be funny black out but the building is mostly glass so it makes me think it must have been an office before. I went to three different hotels in Iceland and this was the worst but prices similar so I’m disappointed. The front desk personally were nice but not there often. I wouldn’t come back and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Pictures are much nicer online.

Comfortable and convenient

Clean, modern, comfortable. Breakfast started at 7 am which was too late for our flight but things tend not to get started too early in Iceland. Plenty of free parking, comfortable suite. Beds a little soft. Lots of plugs to charge devices.

Best stay

We needed to check in early due a medical issue. Our room wasn’t available but just as we were about to leave the hotel staff ran out to tell us it was available. She got us checked it, ordered a morning breakfast, and got us situated. Absolutely the BEST customer service. This was on August 12th at 3:00. She was absolutely the most kindest person during our trip.

Nice accommodations and excellent breakfast. The room was very clean and spacious. The area is quiet. Our recommendation is to extend the sauna hours. We were looking forward to enjoy the facilities but it closed at 6 on Sunday. It would be nice to have it available until 10-11 pm.
