The staff was exceptionally nice. The breakfast was in the largest breakfast rooms we've ever seen and had a wide variety. Everything was good except for the television. It failed in several ways. Also the shower water leaks under the door and gets on the floor of the bathroom . We were in room 608

This is right in the middle of the hot area of Reykavik. The only negative i guess for some is noise but I found it ended by 11pm and was quiet. Didn’t even hear my neighbors. The European style breakfast is a nice spread with different condiments and creams and breads and danish. Good selection and staffed well.

Older hotel starting to show its age. No parking and no loading/unloading area. We had to park 4-5 blocks away and there happened to be some events going on that closed off some of the streets. We didn’t want to carry all our luggage through the activities, but wanted to check in. The reception desk refused to let is check in because we didn’t have our passports on us (still in luggage in that car) even though we had Real ID licenses. This was the only hotel of 13 places we stayed in Iceland that required passports to check in. Room was basic and the bar across from our room had a live band blasting music until almost midnight.

Good location, extremely noisy as there is live music playing one building away. Also there are steps you have to lug your suitcase case up to get to the lift. 3 steps to the entrance and a further few steps.

Loved it! Very clean. Excellent location. Nice breakfast. The only issue for me was that the heat was on very high and I had no way to turn it down. It was May and very warm outside, so I roasted in my room.

A Center Hotel in the center of it all.

Older hotel on a pedestrian street, one business away from the corner where a taxi can drop you off. There are a few steps to navigate with your luggage to get to the elevator. Reception was very hospitable and allowed us to get into our room around 10AM, 6 hours early because it was ready and available (our flight arrived at 6:30AM). The room was very adequate and clean; beds were comfortable and the breakfast included was great. The location ofthe hotel was right in the middle of Reykjavik and lots of restaurants, bars and attractions were within walking distance as well as many bus stops which were easy pick up points for tours.

This is not a good property for people with mobility issues. As you enter the hotel, you must climb up three or four steps and then once inside, you have to climb another four steps to get to the elevator to take you to reception.
