Do not stay here.
Pros:

Nothing. Horrible. We were given room in basement with walking through kitchen and nasty smell everywhere

Cons:

Horrible. We were given room in basement with walking through kitchen and nasty smell everywhere. They said free parking but no free parking. Ready to pay about $40 per day for parking.

Bugs in the room. And when you open sofa bed, there is no room to move even a foot

Disappointing, frustrating, depressing. Needs a human touch.
Pros:

The rooms were big, and looked ok on the photos but the "wooden" floor was actually plastic. Not as good as it pretends to be.

Cons:

I didn't realise this hotel has no reception! As I didn't have data on my phone (travelling from overseas - not unusual for a tourist in Iceland!) I couldn't open the entry instructions for the rooms. The cafe downstairs were clearly frustrated with guests turning up with no info. We had no access to the WIFI so it was a frustrating paradox to be in. After a few interactions buzzing on the intercom to some disconnected voice and a subsequent problem with codes we managed to get in, although the door buttons were problematic every time we went into our room. A very upsetting start to our trip. Will not stay there again. Also hilariously they sent info on how to switch on the electric kettle but no tea bags, and no info on how to control the (oppressive!) heating and no suggestions on where to go to buy food or get breakfast. It felt like a set of ghost apartments designed by AI and run by robots.

Outstanding location with very comfortable self-catering amenities
Pros:

The location of this apartment could not have been better! We walked everywhere around Reykjavik, even in the snow, with ease. The mini-kitchen was perfect for self-catering. There is also an excellent restaurant directly below the apartment in the same building. The photos show attractions within an easy walk of Hotel Vera.

Pros:

Frábær staðsetning

Cons:

Morgunmaturinn, þurfti að hringja til að leyta hvar hann væri framreyddur, sagt að hann héngi á hurðinni, ekkert þar. fann hann svo hjá konu sem er að þrífa herbergin á næstu hæð. Bara brauð og ein ost sneið, mjög dýrt brauð.
