The hotel is at best a 3 star. Rooms were not cleaned. Room was an attic. Location was great. Bed was ok, just couldn't stand up when getting out of one side because it was an attic with slanted ceiling. Staff was both good and bad. Three of the receptionists encountered were helpful and courteous, a fourth was not helpful at all. Would not stay here again.

My mirrors wee dirty, my sheets were soiled; and, when asking to replace them to allow for a hygienic sleep, I was met with inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. I had a VIP booking but didn’t receive the upgrade to my knowledge, and I was unrested before flying. It made for an experience that will make me very unlikely to return to this hotel for anything other than Brut. Will be speak with management at a later time, but I must catch my flight.

Great location - walkable to everything. Large rooms and great shower. Parking is a challenge only due to one way streets. Hotel only provides drip coffee with full paid breakfast, but coffee shop attached to lobby is good (small portions & pricey). Would stay again - good value for price.

Downtown complications

Lovely hotel but in the city with noise on the street until 3:30am on a Friday night but maybe due to a festival weekend that has complicated our stay with parking required outside of downtown. We will need to walk a distance to the car with our bags. Room is tight with layout snd beautiful high tub is dangerous for our age. Will need to ask for handicapped room in future😊

The bed was comfortable. It was difficult getting bags up the few steps to the elevator and the door was very heavy to hold open ourselves.Staff did not offer assistance. We got a room with a tub that was too.high to step in. ourselvescwith luggage.

Staff very helpful. Since I have issues with mobility and the shower in our original room, in a deep tub, would be difficult for me to access the management transferred us to a room with a walk in shower.

Excellent service and rooms

We had a wonderful stay in the heart of Reykjavik. The hotel provided excellent service and comfortably appointed rooms. We would especially like to extend our sincere thanks to Kamil at the front desk for his warm hospitality and outstanding assistance throughout our stay.

This is a nice hotel in a quiet location. The closest bus stop (which tours and airport shuttles use for pick up and drop off) is about 4 blocks away. It seems to be used for a lot of tour groups who ascend on the breakfast buffet like a bunch of vultures. If you are unfortunate enough to arrive after them, there is little left for you.
