Didn't live up to expectations.
Pros:

Design of the hotel was clean & contemporary. The lobby was reasonably comfortable with coffee and tea readily available. Some staff were nice and helpful. The heated floor in the bathroom was nice. Good proximity to shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Room quite small and felt cramped due to layout. A lot of disturbing street noise - constantly woken-up during the night from just people having conversations outside windows. Sewage smell intermittently in room. No parking nor bellhops made it hard to deal with luggage and had to park long distances away trekking through slippery ice and snow. Accommodated early check-in but was charged. Reception felt indifferent.

OK
Pros:

Location was good and the facility to store bags if arrived early (wanted and additional 30 euros for early check-in) or needed some where to to store on last day. Gym was good

Cons:

Room although called an urban superior I would query the use of the word superior - small and dark.

Pros:

A stylish and trendy hotel in a great harbour location, with everything you need right at your doorstep.

The hotel itself has a cool, modern design with beautiful materials and thoughtful details throughout. Having a restaurant and bakery on-site is a big plus, and the surrounding area offers plenty of options as well. The small sauna is charming and does exactly what it’s supposed to do – a nice bonus after a long day out.

Overall, a very enjoyable and well-designed stay – we would definitely come back.

Cons:

The only downside was a clicking noise from the heating system during the night. That said, I’m quite sure the staff would have resolved it quickly if we had mentioned it.

Weekend break in Reykjavik
Pros:

Comfortable with a nice restaurant and a popular bakery.

Cons:

Hotel reception hidden behind restaurant and bakery, making this hard to find on arrival. For the price being charged, no body lotion available. Toiletries could have been upgraded.
