A very busy impersonal hotel which could be so much better. A let down compared to other Fosshotels. Room was clean and with all amenities, but bed very uncomfortable. Mattress moved on its base and then mattress topper moved on the mattress!!!! Breakfast is like a canteen, not a pleasant experience. Parking garage is advertised but is not controlled by the hotel and with no hotel discount. Very expensive, to park, so use the side roads to park if you have a hire car.

For a big hotel in Iceland, they should have better options for blackout curtains. I asked if the curtains could be replaced or even doubled as there was another track and was told it couldn’t be. The room was too bright making it difficult to get rest if you’re a person who is affected by the brightness. The phone all took 4 days to get fixed for a 5 day trip.

Way overrated, mediocre hotel

Blackout curtain was way too light, so the room was still quite bright at 11pm. Bed was soft and not supportive. Breakfast was poor - really not up to standard for the price paid.

A bit of a walk from the city center but not too bad. A few good dining options within 5 min walking distance. Gym is a bit too small, there are actually quite a lot of people using it in the morning. Breakfast options vary, some days they have more options than others.

Modern, clean property. Rooms are spacious by European standards. Many heating features- can use the automatic window to vent the room. Only issues- depending on which side of the hotel you are on, you may hear tour buses unloading late (past 9pm). Early check in wasn’t offered/available for me- though it was offered to the guests ahead of me. I would have appreciated if- like other hotels- they texted when the room was ready. Some staff were abrasive to me. It’s adjacent to bus stop 12 if you are taking the flybus+.
