Nettes Hotel in guter Lage für einen Kurzaufenthalt in Reykjavík
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen und bietet auch die Möglichkeit in nur wenigen Gehminuten, die Einkaufsstraße sowie das City Center zu erreichen. Sehr nettes Personal und ausgesprochen leckeres und vielfältiges Frühstück. Gerne wieder!

Cons:

Das einzige was man eventuell bemängeln könnte, sind die schon etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Zimmer bzw. die Ausstattung. Aber für eine oder ein paar Nächte absolut in Ordnung.

Quiet neighborhood stay with a great breakfast buffet!
Pros:

Breakfast buffet is great as always! This (and location) were the primary reason we chose this hotel.

Cons:

The rooms are small, and the door to get into the room hits the door to the bathroom, which can be loud and startling. I don't know how else they could configure it, but that part wasn't as great.

Hotel perfetto. Prenotate senza riserve.
Pros:

Questo hotel é fantastico. Soprattutto da ringraziare il portiere di giorno Kristjan, grazie. 🙏 Le persone come lui, rare, danno un valore aggiunto al soggiorno.
Colazione fantastica, la take away breakfast fenomenale. Stanza grande e bella.
Fermata 13 molto vicina.

Cons:

Piumini alla islandese, non si rincalzano ed i piedi restano fuori. Portatevi un lenzuolo. Stanza troppo calda, ma basta tenere un po’ aperta la finestra.

Relativ zentral gelegen und sehr sauber.
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Personal jederzeit hilfsbereit und ansprechbar. Sehr bequeme Betten mit ausreichend Bettzeug, das den klimatischen Verhältnissen angepasst ist. Obwohl das Interieur des Zimmers etwas in die Jahre gekommen war, war alles sehr sauber.
Das Hotel liegt relativ zentral, aber gleichzeitig so am Rande, um keine Parkgebühren zahlen zu müssen. Es bestand auch die Möglichkeit, als Hotelgast in der nahegelegenen Bäckerei Brikk mit 10% Rabatt zu frühstücken.

Cons:

Der Wasserdurchsatz der Dusche war etwas gering, aber das ist nichts, was den insgesamt positiven Eindruck des Hotels mindern würde.

The sulphur in the water (but apparently that's typical for Iceland)

Nicht im Zentrum, aber zentrumsnah.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt nicht im Zentrum, aber zentrumsnah. Das hat Vorteile, u.a. hinsichtlich des Parkens. Man ist jedoch binnen 10-15 Minuten zu Fuß im touristischen Trubel oder am Wasser.
Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, ich erwähne das, weil ich bei Reisen rund um die Welt sonst immer Ecken finde, die nicht geputzt werden. Das Reinigungspersonal in diesem Hotel arbeitet jedenfalls ausgezeichnet!
Das Personal an der Rezeption ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfreich.

Cons:
