Pros:

Personal sehr freundlich, Lage super, Hotel sauber, Sauna super.

Cons:

Frühstück: Nur Filterkaffee, obwohl nebenbei das eigene Kaffeehaus ist, einen Cappuccino zu bekommen in so einer Hotelkategorie ist für mich eigentlich Standard, es gab auch nur eine Art von Brot und jeden Tag dieselbe süße Speise, obwohl nebenbei die besten Donuts zu finden waren (das würde ich noch verstehen, aber der Kaffee geht so nicht). Im Zimmer: kein Schrank, keine Body Lotion.

great hotel, would recommend
Pros:

Very nice hotel, clean, safe, in a fairly central location. Front desk staff were great - friendly and helpful

Cons:

Didn’t like the policy that if you want to check in early (before 3pm) you would need to pay 70 Euros, regardless of whether your room was ready or not. I understand this but it is kinda petty. Also, no air conditioning! Yes, I am American and we have air conditioning everywhere. The room did have a door that could open to a beautiful breeze but I was not comfortable leaving the door open at night

A fantastic welcome to Reykjavik!
Pros:

The staff was friendly. The lockers provided were a really convenient feature. The attached bagel shop (photo of bagel below), restaurant (with music at night), and bar were also really convenient for days when we needed to grab a bite before a cruise or after a long day. The location was close to everything yet still quiet. Cute greenhouse. Amazing rain shower in bathroom! Would stay again!

Cons:

I noticed nothing that needed improvement.

Outstanding location, friendly staff, nice atmospere.
Pros:

Excellent location-- short walk to shops and restaurants, and Bus Stop #4 at the harbor. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful, including booking tours and taxis for us. The onsite burger restaurant, bar and bakery were great!

Cons:

Our room was cleaned only twice in our four-night stay. In fairness, it was a very busy time and they may have been short-handed.
