Good but too expensive
Pros:

The location is great with many restaurants and shops right around the corner. Check out is done really quickly and time efficient.

Cons:

There was a lot of dust in our room and the prices are quite high. They didn't provide all of the amenities for the total number of people booked, i.e. in our room (booked for two) there was only one spoon and so on.

Lovely city hotel in a great location
Pros:

The hotel has got a very nice modern and contemporary feel which we really enjoyed. The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating. We were able to check in before the advertised check in time without any hassle which really helped.
We were also able to store our bags for free while we hiked the Laugavegur trail and we collected the bags on our last night at the hotel before leaving for the airport the following day.
The location of the hotel is great - right in the heart of Reykjavik with lots of nice shops and restaurants all within walking distance.

Cons:

The rooms all face the busy pedestrian street and it can get very noisy in the evening and at night time when people are still out and about enjoying the pubs and bars in the neighborhood. If you are a light sleeper then you will not be able to open the windows for any fresh air because the noise will more than likely keep you awake :-(

Ottima soluzione in pieno centro
Pros:

Posizione ottima proprio in centro, zona pedonale. Ambiente molto carino.
Camera nel complesso comoda e molto piacevole. Staff cordiale

Cons:

Non è necessariamente un difetto ma è una cosa che dovrebbero specificare meglio: non c’è la possibilità di fare colazione nella struttura, ti consigliano una pasticceria/forno a circa 100 metri.
Proprio perché è in zona pedonale nel caso in cui si arrivi con l’auto, non è detto che si riesca a parcheggiare con facilità.

Really nice!
Pros:

The rooms are very clean and spacious and the showers are amazing. The staff is really nice and welcoming - I was even offered a glass of prosecco during check-in! The location is also pretty great and there are a lot of good restaurants close by.

Cons:

It is rather pricey but still worth it.
