Redelijk hotel
Pros:

Verzorgd ontbijt, gratis parkeren voor de deur

Cons:

We kregen zogezegd een update, maar denk dat dit al bij al een gewone kamer was. Het uitzicht was troosteloos en lelijk.
De lobby oogt slordig, kamers zijn redelijk klein.

Pros:

The breakfast was good, but not included in the price of the room, and extremely expensive. It may be in line with other prices in Reykjavik, but $30+ for breakfast is excessive to me.

The manager was very kind and allowed us to check in early, after a long night of traveling. That was greatly appreciated.

Cons:

The shower was very slippery. There was no mat in the bathroom for the shower. We did not check to see if there was one available.

The hotel rate was high. Again, probably in line with Reykjavik prices.

Would have liked more food choices at night.

Very enjoyable stay; plan to recommend it to family and friends traveling to Iceland.
Pros:

Everything was very clean and neat. Liked that the windows opened. Liked the modern and attractive decor. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. Liked that it was located close to the center of town.

Cons:

Some family complained that the glass shower door didn't go far enough and they got a lot of water on the bathroom floor. Breakfast was very expensive.
