Excellent location. Breakfast buffet is one of the best we’ve had in Iceland and has a great variety, including gravlax and vegetables. No free parking at the location. Hotel has a small parking lot and charges a daily fee (the parking lot was so small that we had a lot of trouble getting our standard size SUV out. Free street parking after 9pm, so we ended up being fine because we took the car out during the day.

Great hotel and an excellent location. In addition to well appointed and clean rooms, the restaurant and bakery downstairs are phenomenal. Rooms do tend to run a bit warm (we were there in June) so you may want to open the windows and/or bring a small portable fan.

The hotel is well located with an excellent bakery below. Wifi is strong, breakfast is decent, however, parking is something you have to call ahead to reserve so please take note. One negative aspect about the hotel is the lack of lights, once you pull the curtain the room is very dark (yes, understandable in the summer) but please provide additional lights in case people want to read.

Good but with some caveats

We had a good experience overall for our 3 night stay with some caveats. Staff were excellent. Room was clean and everything worked well. Rooms on the small side though as was the bathroom. Access areas to the old building where our room was were not good. Hallways and stairs had no ventilation and were quite smelly with old food smell every time we used them. Cold buffet Breakfast was good but cooked breakfast was dull and towards end of breakfast period when we arrived very little left and was lukewarm at best. I think if breakfast is served until 10 am then all food should be available and fresh until then. This is an expensive hotel and all aspects should justify the hefty price
