Convenient location with plenty of parking spaces around. Good breakfast.
Pros:

Location and availability of parking

Cons:

The elevator wasn’t working for almost 2 days. We had to carry our luggage up and down 3 flights of steps.

J’ai adoré !
Pros:

J’ai tout aimé ! Le lit est tellement confortable j’ai super bien dormi. La localisation est parfaite, la grande cathédrale est à 12min à pied !
Le quartier est très calme et l’hôtel est super bien insonorisé, on n’entend absolument rien de ce qu’il se passe dans le couloir c’est agréable. L’hôtel est chaleureux et le personnel adorable ! Merci pour tout

Top Lage, Parkplatz vor dem Hotel, Kein Massentourismus-Hotel, die Stadt zu Fuss gut erreichbar.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war super - grosse Auswahl - Brotauswahl hingegen war eher klein. Dafür mit Lachs, Chia, Skyr, diverse Müesli, frischer Orangensaft inkl. div. andere Säfte.

Schön ruhig war es während dem Frühstück - kein Massentourismus - eher individual Touristen.
Parkplatz direkt vor dem Hotel.
WLAN tiptop.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind eher klein - wenn man mit Koffer und Handgepäck kommt - das ist jedoch wohl fast überall. Schade ist, wenn das Personal beim Empfang stets so fixiert auf den Computer ist - und kaum Blickkontakt hat, wenn Gäste ein und aus gehen.

Pros:

Very relaxing place to start and to finish during 4 nights our 10-days-Icelandtrip. I was very tired at the end and the reception even helped me to find my backpack lost in a bus. The rooms are very cosy, clean and quiet. We left Iceland fully ressourced. Thank you very much!

Pros:

Best breakfast I had while in Iceland! Organic scrambled eggs made in small batches with so many kinds of cheeses, fruits, spreads, juices, breads. Super friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful room.

Cons:

Almost 20 minute walk to downtown area which isn't that bad except on the cold, windy and rainy days. 30 minute walk to Perlan which was better than if I had stayed in the center of downtown.
