Pros:

Framúrskarandi morgunverður. Viðmót fólks á staðnum yndælt.

Cons:

Þjónusta booking com síðunnar er fyrir neðan allar hellur. Notandinn þarf að svara alls konar spurningum og fylla út eyðublöð. Svo er reynt að halda því að manni að alls konar afslættir og hlunnindi fylgi pöntun. Send á manni óþörf tilboð í hrönnum. En verst er að uppgefin verð á booking com síðunni standast ekki! Mér var seld nóttin fyrirfram á 19 þúsund krónur rúmar daginn áður- en þurfti að borga yfir 21 þúsund þegar á staðinn var komið. Er ekki bookin com óþarfur og dýr milliliður?

Fabulous hotel
Pros:

We loved our stay at this hotel. Great room. We booked the option to face the mountains and were lucky to see the northern lights from our room each night.
The showers were incredible and you are provided shower gel and hand wash so you don't need to bring your own. We also had a kettle with tea and coffee provided.
The hotel isn't in town and about 30 minutes walk away. You can easily get the bus into town from just outside the hotel (no5 &15)
We also walked to the public hot pools which were about 12 minutes walk away.
The breakfast was really good, lots of lovely fresh pastries, granola, yogurt, cereals, meats, fruits and much more!
The staff were really helpful. We would definitely recommend this as a good option for a stay in Reykjavik

Can't say enough good things!
Pros:

Highly recommended this hotel just away from the bustle of City Centre! Amazingly quiet! Also very clean and comfortable, with nice amenities for a basic room (towel warmer, lobby bar, rain shower), and surprisingly spacious! Elena and the other ladies at the front desk were super helpful and friendly! With their help we were able to navigate the bus system and get around the city with no problem! Breakfast was included and quite decent. Overall a good value.

Decent
Pros:

Location was near the skate hall so that was ok

Cons:

Breakfast was really basic, didn’t feel that fresh and the room was tiny with a door to go to another room felt like paying full price for half the space

Good one in Reykjavik
Pros:

I booked through an agency and it was better than expected. Just the size of the room that was a bit too small, but after all is a good room and very close to bus stop, city center and I could even see the northern lights from my window!

Great hotel away from the hustle and hustle of the city.....
Pros:

Apart from the check in process, this hotel was great - about 3km walk from the city centre but with lots of restaurants close by. Would definitely stay again 😊

Nice short stay
Pros:

We enjoyed the breakfast. The beds were comfortable. The staff were great.

Cons:

The lighting in the room was tricky and rather dim. The shower itself is great, but the heat/steam lingers abit long. Many other hotels will have better, readily accessible complimentary coffee.

Pros:

Frokosten var bra, enkel men gjorde jobben.

Cons:

Var veldig varmt på rommet når man kom tilbake fra tur. Var bare et lite vindu å åpne for å lufte. Dette var ikke tilstrekkelig. Så tok lang tid før det ble grei temperatur på kvelden med 3 personer på ett rom.
