Great hotel and location. Fantastic concierge.
Pros:

Our stay at Kvosin was fantastic. The room was modern, clean and accommodated the four of us (mom, dad and older teens) perfectly. The rooms were warm - very nice given the very winterly weather - and especially nice were the warm bathroom floors. The breakfast was varied and delicious and the location is great: close to the main shopping streets and to Bus Stop #1. The BEST part was working with Anna Maria, the concierge/front desk attendant during most of our stay. Our original trip schedule was not possible due to weather conditions, but Anna Maria was delightful and so helpful in answering questions and helping make arrangements. What a gem!

Pros:

Stanza bellissima, posizione centrale, ma tranquilla, pulito e personale gentile. Buona anche la colazione.

Cons:

L'unica nota meno positiva è il divano letto della camera, che era molto scomodo. I letti invece erano comodi.

Good location in downtown Reykjavik
Pros:

Warm and friendly staff, they were able to accomodate an early check in request. It was very close to Bus Stop 1 and many nearby eateries and shopping areas nearby.

The room itself was spacious and clean. I liked having the separate eating area with cutlery and dishes included - very convenient to bring food back and then have a place to eat afterwards. Very comfortable. Loved the heated towel warmers.

My room faced the church and every quarter hour, the bell would chime. Not super loud and it didn't keep me from sleeping. I found it pleasant. I also liked how each room had a story to go with it.
