Tolle Lage
Pros:

Grundsätzlich tolle Lage

Cons:

Haben zunächst ein Upgrade erhalten, bis wir dann gemerkt haben, dass in einer Bar bis spät in die Nacht sehr laute Musik lief. Unser Zimmer war im Westteil. Dieses Problem scheint seit längerem bekannt und hat nicht nur uns den Schlaf geraubt.

Pros:

Breakfast was great. Location is awesome.

Cons:

We had to wait for 15 minutes after check in time for our room to get cleaned so we can check in.
The table in the room had blotchy surface with missing parts of top layer.
TV has accessibility turned on which made it read out loud every command and content highlighted, which in turn made it slow and unresponsive and skipping commands entered on the remote. There's no option to turn off narrator, it's locked.
Windows have nice vintage system that keeps them wind safe, but it needs some maintenance to work correctly.

Perfect location, good value
Pros:

The location is perfect for city exploring and catching island tours. The rooms were nice, clean, comfortable. We had a complimentary breakfast buffet which was a good way to start the day.

Cons:

Not a huge issue but room cleaning service was an additional fee. Not an issue if you are only there for a couple of days but if you expect fresh towels and bedding daily, be aware.

Outstanding service and unforgettable stay
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely caring, always going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment I arrived, I felt truly welcomed and well taken care of. Every request was handled quickly and with a smile, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The overall atmosphere was warm and relaxing, and the level of service really stood out. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would gladly come back.

A gem of a boutique hotel
Pros:

Just back from a lovely 5 nights at this lovely hotel. What a perfect gem of a place and absolutely perfect for me to surprise my husband for a trip for his birthday.
It's fantastically centrally located and we used the Flybus to get there - a short 6 minute walk from bus stop no 6 ( although we did arrive in the horrendous storms so it took about 10/15 minutes trudging up the hill on that day!)
But as soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly by Liam on the front desk who checked us in straight away. The room was lovely , warm with heated floors and nice coffee. The hotel had the most perfect healthy breakfasts with delicious pastries from the bakery next door and it also had a really cute little gym which I used on a couple of occasions. Such a great location to walk everywhere and really helpful staff to advise with anything you needed. I'm really grateful to Liam for recommending such a fabulous tour group (EastWest Tours) for our northern lights experience - we had a fantastic night out! I've already recommended this hotel to about 10 people who are all planning Iceland trips in the next year, so I 'm sure they will have as wonderful a time as we have just had!!
Thank you!!
