Es war okay…
Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage und nettes Personal. Betten bequem. Ich hatte ein großes Zimmer daher auch genug Platz, mit einem kleinen Balkon.

Cons:

Es ist unfassbar hellhörig, jeden Abend und morgen hat es über mir geknallt, Man hört jeden Schritt und das hat mich extrem gestört. Was man wissen sollte, der lokale Flughafen liegt quasi als Einflugschneise hinter dem Hotel. Also ein wenig Lärm durch kleine Maschinen.
Das Frühstück habe ich mir nur angeschaut, aber ich mag Eier nicht aus der Packung. War nicht viel Auswahl.

Prima in 't centrum
Pros:

Grote ruime kamer met geweldige bedden. Lekker om zo t oude centrum in te lopen.

Cons:

Ondanks beschrijving op Booking géén restaurant. Door bijzondere indeling van het hotel heb je kans dat je op sommige plaatsten je koffers moet tillen (trapjes)

Fantastic stay!
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay in Kvosin Downtown Hotel. We also got a little upgrade to a bigger room with a kitchenette which was a lovely treat! It’s located in a great area - very close to the main street and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. It also felt like a very safe area. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

Nothing!

Great stay at a unique and lovely hotel
Pros:

This was our group’s favourite stay during our time in Iceland (out of 3). The staff was very kind and welcoming, the hotel is unique and beautiful and the suites were spacious and charming.
The breakfast was tasty and had a lot of options. Our only minor issue was the lack of parking but we were able to find some a 3 minute walk away.
The location is incredible and allowed us to see a lot of downtown on foot in one day. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Reykjavik, especially those hoping to self cater to save money. The kitchenette was very handy.
