Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
spotless room, kind and friendly staff. We would stay here again.
Very very kind staff. Their rooms are very different and cozy from other hotels and they had nice wooden structures that reach the ceiling. They’re so romantic and perfect for a couple stay. Everything in the lounge area was also very cozy and relaxing. Def recommend if you’re staying in Reykjavík.
Beautiful, cozy room with a perfect location and a great breakfast. Super helpful staff. Called me immediately when they found my lost Iwatch before I headed to the airport which was a lifesaver. Couldn't say enough good things about this hotel and staff.
In the beginning, there was confusion about the type of room I booked. The issue was solved in three days, and their staffs were responsive and helpful. I generally enjoyed my stay, especially the useful high quality body lotion that relieved my legs from travel tiredness.
Liked overall service (including friendliness of staff) and amenities (including quality and quantity of toiletries) provided.
Breakfast was excellent tho somewhat pricey.
Still overall excellent rating.
The friendly staff, cozy atmosphere of the common areas, and the ocean and mountain view of the bedroom made our stay special. The breakfast was delicious with organic and well prepared with local ingredients. The lentils soup and panini were also superb!
This hotel is just beautifully appointed, and a great value for the price. It was an enjoyable walk from all the main attractions in the heart of the city, and offers a fabulous view of the bay. I would stay here again — it was very romantic.
Room was spacious and clean. I requested a room with a view which was accommodated. The place was in an industrial area so be aware that you have to walk for 5-7 minutes until you get to the “main” area of town with restaurants and shops. The free parking is what did it for me. Breakfast should have been included at the price of the room.
