Pros:

Frábær staðsetning og morgunmatur góður.

Cons:

Vitum í herb 514 mikið ónæði frá loftræstingartùðu sem er fyrir utan alla nóttina. Ætti ekki að leigja þetta herbergi út.

Pros:

The location is key and most rooms have a view over the lively down town area. The breakfast is good served in a large room. While is is old it has a rustic charm and that is why I quite frequently stay there when in town.

The Hotel was well situated, clean and functional, the staff friendly, the basics available.
Pros:

The location was excellent being in one of the most interesting part of the city. Although sights such as the several museums were further away they were within walking distance and worth visiting.
We only took the breakfast at the hotel once. It was minimal *e.g croissant and coffee. There are excellent places for breakfast in the same street as the hotel. The room was not fancy but it was clean, well surviced and had all that was needed including free coffee and tea. We stayed in the hotel twice, once before leaving Rekjavik, once when returning there after our tour around this marvelous country.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about.

Bien pour une nuit !
Pros:

Emplacement pratique pour une nuit avec choix de restaurant ( interne et externe à l'hotel)
Tres bon restaurant à l'hotel

Cons:

Excessivement cher pour la prestation car chambre un peu "vieillote"
La nuit la plus cher de notre périple ( certes nous sommes en Islande)

Vergane glorie
Cons:

Waarschijnlijk was dit eens een mooi hotell maar het heeft nu onderhoud nodig. En dan de kamer. We hadden een tweepersoons kamer gereserveerd en dat was het ook, maar meer ook niet. Twee koffers kon je er net in neerzetten en dan was de ruimte op. De douche cabine was zo klein dat je niet eens kon bukken. Dat men zoveel geld hiervoor durft te vragen is ongepast.

There was a lot of noise coming from the party in the hotel hall, which was right under our room and didn’t stop until 1 am. Really difficult to sleep
