Pros:

Beliggenhed meget central. Morgenmaden i top. Rengøringen fin og alt fungerede på værelset. Jeg ankom meget forsinket pga. af vejret, men det var intet problem, da receptionen er bemandet døgnet rundt.

Cons:

Værelset var placeret over køkkenet i stueetagen. Her var der støj sent aften og tidlig morgen.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

It was my friend and I’s first time to Iceland and we stayed here for 4 nights and had a blast. The location was awesome to walk to everything, and we booked massages through the hotel that were such a great way to start the trip after a long flight. The spa at the sister hotel next door was beautiful and relaxing. The room was perfect size for two people and the beds were comfy. I would stay again!

Excellently situated
Pros:

Great hotel for easy access to harbour, bus stops and city hotspots.

Staff are super helpful and friendly.
Breakfast is fantastic, so much on offer you will not go hungry.

Only downside is size of the rooms, ours was quite small, ok for a short stay but I wouldn’t want to stay longer than a few days. Otherwise this hotel is perfect.
