Pros:

There was a cafe called Reykjavik Roasters just 5 mins walk away. Parking space was quite ample. Decor of lobby was classy.

Cons:

When they did housekeeping upon request after 2nd night, they did not make the bed. Not sure if this is the norm in Iceland. It was rather confusing.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches personal. Hübsche zimmer die lage war nahe an der einkaufsmeile und am perlan konnten wir alles zu fuss machen. Das auto durften wir bereits am morgen bei der unterkunft parkieren und durften auch früher einchecken.

Cons:

Das zimmer war schön aber für meinen geschmack zu viel einrichtungsgegenstände und daher wenig platz für die koffern

Prima en vriendelijk verblijf aan rand van centrum Reijkjavik
Pros:

Mooi hotel, zeer vriendelijk personeel, erg goed ontbijt en fijne ruimte beneden om overdag of ‘s avonds even te zitten en een drankje te doen (hele dag staat er koffie, thee en water klaar).

Cons:

Uitzicht aan de achterkant van hotel is op appartementencomplex, aan voorkant is er uitzicht op de baai maar voor deze kamers betaal je extra.
De bedden zien er wellicht grappig tropisch uit maar wat mij betreft mag die hoge houten stellage eraf, je stoot je er alleen maar aan en het heeft geen functie.
De matrassen zijn prima.
Lokatie is aan de rand van het toeristische centrum, maar het oude centrum is wel een eindje lopen (20-25 min).
