Very pleasant stay and a better location than I expected
Pros:

The staff were so kind and helpful! Breakfast was great and the beds super comfortable. I was worried the location would be a bit too far from the centre but the walk was easy, safe and pleasant. And flat! And there is a nice eating hall (Hlemmur matholl) nearby.

Un hôtel calme et bien placé
Pros:

Hôtel facile d'accès depuis l'aéroport de Keflavik, c'est tout droit puis on tourne à droite pour les 500 derniers mètres. L' hôtel est à moins de 10 mn à pied des rues commerçantes et sans détours. Personnel accueillant, il faut bien sûr comme partout en Islande maîtriser un minimum l'anglais.

Cons:

Un petit bémol dans la chambre. Il manque un miroir dans la salle de bain, ce qui à titre personnel vu ma calvitie avancée ne m'a pas gêné.
