Stayed at this hotel twice, once in the beginning, and also at the end of our trip around Iceland. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of well lit parking, it’s just off the highway, but quiet, We preferred the rooms on the back of the building. The breakfast was excellent, and the tv actually had some good channels.

We didn't want to stay in the city so great location for us. Free parking and free breakfast saves travelers a lot of money. Gym is next door and access is included. Good Thai restaurant and grocery store within walking distance. Rooms and beds were small, but very clean. No mini fridge or microwave. Definitely recommend this hotel.

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.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was cleaned daily, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and they even prepared us a to go breakfast since we were checking out before breakfast hours. Their attention to detail really made our trip special.
