This hotel really exceeded my expectations. They were able to accommodate a much needed earlier check-in. The lobby of the hotel was very cozy and had an extensive area for people to hang out. In addition, complimentary tea and coffee were available as self-serve all day. The room was small but efficient - it was clean and bright and very new. One unfortunate thing that happened while there was the elevator had broken down; however, the staff were able to help with luggage as needed. Note that the room did not have a mini fridge. Parking was easy and free. We chose the hotel for its walking distance to the city without the noise of a city. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was perfectly laid out and comfortable. The hotel was not too far from downtown to walk every day but far enough not to be loud at night. We loved it and would stay here again.

I LOVED my stay at Eyja Guldsman, though short. It is beautiful and comfortable, the staff were kind and helpful, and they offer free coffee and tea! I just wish it were closer to the city center - I switched hotels after a night, and I loved the convenience of my next place though it wasn’t as warm and inviting.

Anywhere that offers complimentary coffee and plays Velvet Underground in the reception can’t be bad! Nice hotel, convenient location, friendly staff, good breakfast and easy parking. What’s not to like?!
