Excellent breakfast and nice room with excellent bath
We had a safety incident in this hotel.At 2 am a completely naked intruder opened our door and attempted to walk in. He could not fully open the door as I always wedge the door with a chair. The light from the hallway woke me up and I ran to the door yelling to him to stop him from coming in. I was able to stop him and secure the door. My husband, my 12 year old and I were very scared and called the police. The police came promptly but they could not find the intruder. The manager dismissed me by saying the records showed the door had not been opened since 10 pm. I was made to feel that I was exaggerated in my response, that I had probable left the door unsecured or that I was dreaming/confused and the guy probably was partying and got confused or was sleep walking. She made up so many excuses. She kept insisting that Iceland was totally safe. We are not sure how the intruder opened the electronic door. (Also, the door did not have in inside bolt or a fish eye.) The management did not have any compassion for our situation. They were more interested in defending themselves and excusing the intruder as a prank or a "confusion".I have remained anxious and have not been able to sleep well since this incident. Iceland might be a very safe country but there are bad people anywhere.
Exceptional service from the gentleman at the front desk. He was so helpful in every way. Nice room and good variety of breakfast options. Good location for walking in the city.
A great, friendly and genuine welcome. Efficient check in. Very comfortable and good size room and great location in the city centre. Parking available directly outside. Substantial, tasty and varied breakfast.
Very cute hotel, good location. Breakfast was great - lots of options. Very easy walk into main city centre to shop and dine. We came on a sunday, so just parked in front of hotel because it was free. Staff very nice - got an upgraded room with more space which was great.
The room was super small. The carpet was well worn and dirty. I requested 2 beds but there was no room to open our suitcases. We opened them on the floor and then closed them to sleep. The hotel is just an older space and the rooms are set up yo accommodate as many people as possible.
It’s in a great location. Particularly enjoyed the separate comforters on the bed. Excellent breakfast with lots of variety - both sweet and savory. The only thing I wish it had was an extra luggage stand.
From the moment we arrived we were greeted with hospitality and warmth; our Concierge gave us a great intro to the local area and made us feel so very much at home! Great spot!
Check in was super easy. Staff were very friendly. Our room was very spacious and they provided us with a baby crib upon request! Breakfast was average but included.
Great place to stay, very centric and walkable.
Hotel facilities are very good, breakfast options were ok and bad very comfortable.
Bathroom can use some improvements
