Lovely hotel and room. My only issue was the bed, the mattress was extremely hard. Reception and housekeeping were very helpful and quickly came to put on a mattress topper which helped, but I still found it very uncomfortable.

Good location

Overall excellent - the one big minus...the fitness facility. Like many hotels: clearly an afterthought. Tucked away in a dark corner in the basement. The elliptical was rickety and clearly needed service. It was unfortunate as I will not stay there again because of this one deficiency.
5.0 / 10.0
Great location in Reykjavik. Short walking distance to the water front and Laugavegur Street where shops and restaurants are located. Also bus stop 12 is right outside the hotel so it’s very convenient for pick up and drop off for tours etc
4.0 / 10.0
The room was comfortable and the views to the sea were awesome, though blocked a little by salt stains on the windows. The personnel in the hotel were very helpful. The breakfast had everything I wanted and more. The location was great. I like to take the stairs where possible and found a way to do so also at this hotel but the way was not very clearly marked - something to consider for sustainability and decreasing waiting times for lifts.

Beautiful view of the water. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location was in walking distance within shopping center and downtown. Also, incredible thrift store across the street, if you like thrifting.

This hotel was wonderful! The excellent staff helped us book tours and get taxis. We had a great view of the harbor. The Beer Garden was the best! Great food and a relaxing and comfortable setting.

6.0 / 10.0
We stayed at this hotel in September 2024 for 6 nights. My assessment of the pros and cons are:
Pros
Helpful staff, really nice buffet breakfast with many food choices, convenient location walkable to many attractions, restaurant options on sight, and many nearby street parking spots.
Cons
Bed was not comfortable but memory foam toppers available upon request. Marginal improvement. Bathroom is not equipped with outlet for hair styling. Bathroom equipped with shower and tub but forgot trying to have a bath. Water pressure is down to a trickle in the tub and it would take about 45 minutes to fill it. In the room, no mirror to support hair styling. Room was very hot maybe due to radiant floor heat in bathroom (which was fabulous). We did not turn on the heat and kept the window open day and night for the duration of our stay. The window that can be opened is very small and did not cool room efficiently. We appreciated the harbor view but this means roadside and there is lots of traffic and people noise (waiting for their tour bus pickup) until about 11 pm .
4.0 / 10.0
We had a nice stay but the location was too far away from downtown and points of interest. Walking in the bad weather was not an option and taxis are very expensive in Reykyavik. Room price was very reasonable for the class of hotel.

The biggest hotel in Reykjavik. Local tour buses stop outside the hotel to pick up guests. 20 minutes walk to the city center. It does not seem long, but it could be an uncomfortable walk when outside is windy and cold. Well, it is Iceland.
3.0 / 10.0
The rooms were quite small and the walls are quiet thin so you can hear the rooms next door as well ones above you.
There’s also no AC in the rooms and it got so hot at night that we had to open the windows.
The location is great but the parking at the hotel isn’t free and relatively expensive.

3.0 / 10.0
The hotel is very good, although the 3rd bed in the family room was very uncomfortable camping style bed which I was not excepting in a 4* especially that I paid for a family room, therefore the 3rd bed wasn't an addition,
it is part of the room set up. Unfortunately some staff are poorly trained and one of the receptionists exceptionally rude. Manager was very helpful and responsive.
The food was good and the hotel is in a great area for the main stree and the harbour. The beer garden has wonderful decor and grwat food.

Very convenient location to explore Reykjavik and the surrounding areas. Bust stop just outside the hotel. Staff was generally helpful and polite. The room was clean and comfortable. Washrooms in the lobby area were not as clean. Breakfast had a good variety of meals. Overall, it’s a very good option.
