The hotel is perfectly located by the harbour, making it easy to explore the town center and major attractions on foot. The rooms, while a bit warm, offer a lovely view of the harbour, but could be more spacious. The dining options were limited for our liking, but the hotel's prime location and friendly service were definite highlights.

The hotel had a great atmosphere with dark decor in the rooms, and I particularly loved the comfortable mattress and the Nespresso coffee maker. However, the rooms were darker than expected from the booking photos. The service was efficient, offering dry cleaning and housekeeping, but no specific outstanding features. The location was very central, making it easy to walk around, especially for enjoying the beautiful sunsets during the white nights. The dining experience was simple, but I found the porridge to be satisfying. The facilities were clean and modern, offering excellent value for money.

This hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms, although clean and had a smart TV with access to Netflix and Amazon Prime, felt smaller than expected. They were not huge, but still provided a good size. The service was decent with conveniences like dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance available. The location, right in the heart of Reykjavik, was a major plus, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The dining options were very limited, despite having some good choices, especially for vegetarians. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks worth considering.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room was huge, clean, and comfortable, just like the rest of the hotel. The location is superb, right beside the harbor with plenty of great restaurants nearby. The dining experience was lovely, offering a variety of choices, and the service was excellent. The only downside was the slightly higher price compared to other options.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are very nice with a modern industrial design and comfortable, featuring a lovely view of the mountains from the balcony. However, the rooms are quite dark even with all lamps on, the desk is uncomfortable, and there are limited good spaces in the lounge to work. Upgrading to a deluxe room provides an amazing experience.

The hotel offers very dark rooms even when all lamps are on, which I found quite charming. The Junior Suite could benefit from having fans during the summer. The location is not too far from the city center but can be quite noisy. The dining experience could be improved with more options, but it offers a lot of healthy choices. The hotel is amazing, situated right on the harbor and within easy walking distance to the town center, making it ideal for exploring Reykjavik.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and cozy, but a bit smaller than I anticipated for the category I had booked. The lack of standard amenities like a shoe horn or shower cap was noticeable. On the bright side, the hot tub and sauna were super nice and added a touch of luxury to my stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were a bit dark and warm due to the street-level location and radiator noises, but the proximity to restaurants was convenient. The service was efficient, even though I wished for better ventilation in the rooms. The location was great for exploring the local area, but the construction nearby was a bit off-putting. The dining options were alright, with local-style meals available, but a more diverse breakfast selection would have been appreciated.
