Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were lovely - so clean and cozy with super comfy beds, crisp bedding, and a lovely clean bathroom. There were plenty of tea and coffee options, a fridge, and a security box. The room also had plenty of plug sockets, including USB ports beside the beds. Although we didn't eat in the onsite restaurant, we did enjoy our complimentary drink in the bar. The breakfast was absolutely amazing with a large choice of sausages, bacon, eggs, and different pastries. The room was spacious and clean, containing a TV, desk, chair, and armchair. A good shower and a nice view added to the experience.
The hotel offers clean rooms that, while on the small side, are well-maintained. The caring and efficient service stands out, making my stay pleasant. The location is excellent, just a short walk to key attractions. The dining experience, although expensive, offers a variety of local options. The facilities are well-kept and functional.
The hotel was lovely, with comfortable rooms that were perfect to relax in before leaving. The breakfast was amazing, offering a large variety of delicious options. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location was ideal, within walking distance to sites and restaurants, and the onsite parking was convenient.
I was delighted with the room's one long window wall that overlooked the town center, and the better quality tea provided was an extra special treat. However, the room didn't quite match the typical 4-star hotel standards internationally despite the high room rate.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely and so comfortable, we even enjoyed a relaxing time after check-out. The breakfast was amazing with so many delicious options. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the service was incredibly friendly and helpful.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms, though not luxurious, had everything I needed, including good WiFi, ample storage space, and a television with some English channels. The beautiful room had fantastic art and a great view of Hallgrimskirkja and the neighborhood below. However, the room was quite small, but it had a sofa bed and an extra bathtub, making it cozy.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making me feel at home. The service was impeccable, with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The convenient location allowed easy access to the city center and attractions, and the dining experience, while nice, could offer a bit more variety. Overall, a great value for the money.
