Just a calm. Comforting place to stay with excellent breakfast and snacks available 24/7
Pros:

Beautifully curated art hotel. Immaculately cared-for by Maria. Just enough Scandi minimalism, warmed by her great taste in art - even the piped music is fab. I arrived without notice at 9.30 in the morning without any notice - in less than an hour, my room was ready. Fantastic work!

Cons:

A bit out of town

Central hotel that exceeded my expectations
Pros:

My room was great and the staff were amazing. They helped me with my bags and always offered to help me with everything. They let me check in as soon as my room was clean and put my bags there for me while I was out exploring. The location is somewhat central but central doesn't mean in a busy area. The busy parts of the city were not central. I was able to take a hop on hop off bus from a fairly close spot to the hotel. I loved the Icelandic breakfasts. I reserved a suite and it was very large. When I wasn't sure how to work the lights in the restroom the staff came up and showed me and once I saw it I realized I should have seen it earlier.

Cons:

There was a window above my bed which could be nice for seeing northern lights but it wasn't extremely clear and it didn't have any way to close it off to block the summer midnight sun. While I didn't mind at all the room could be warm in the summer. I found the warmth a nice change from the Icelandic cold.
