"Great place to explore Reykjavik"
2025-10-31
Great location to explore the centre- near restaurants and bars. Great stay for one night. We were lucky to get upgraded to a suite which was huge. The famous hotdog stand was outside our window so a little noisy, but in the weekend the city doesn’t sleep.
"Prime location and amazing staff"

The hotel is perfectly located and an additional value on the plus side is the exceptional service that takes care of guests at every step. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the breakfast buffet is ok, come on, it could be a little more varied

"Really good hotel"
2025-07-25
We are very pleased with our stay. We are very surprised that all employees were always helpful and smiling despite a lot of traffic and many questions. The location in the city centre was very good for exploring the city. Quite an expensive hotel, but there are no cheap places in Iceland, so we counted on the expense, but it was money well spent.

"Nice hotel but no ac!"
2025-07-22
Nice clean hotel located in center of town. Front desk personnel were very nice and helpful. Since this was my first time staying in a European hotel I was surprised there was no air conditioning. The hotel did provide a fan and it was sufficient enough to cool the room. Also there is a very nice deep soaking bathtub however since I am older it was very difficult for me to climb out without falling. Now that I’ve stayed there and no what to expect I would stay there again.
