Very pleasant stay and a better location than I expected
Pros:

The staff were so kind and helpful! Breakfast was great and the beds super comfortable. I was worried the location would be a bit too far from the centre but the walk was easy, safe and pleasant. And flat! And there is a nice eating hall (Hlemmur matholl) nearby.

Un hôtel calme et bien placé
Pros:

Hôtel facile d'accès depuis l'aéroport de Keflavik, c'est tout droit puis on tourne à droite pour les 500 derniers mètres. L' hôtel est à moins de 10 mn à pied des rues commerçantes et sans détours. Personnel accueillant, il faut bien sûr comme partout en Islande maîtriser un minimum l'anglais.

Cons:

Un petit bémol dans la chambre. Il manque un miroir dans la salle de bain, ce qui à titre personnel vu ma calvitie avancée ne m'a pas gêné.

"Við áttum frábæra dvöl á þessu hóteli. Allt var mjög snyrtilegt, herbergið okkar var æðislegt.
Pros:

"Mæli 100% með morgunmatnum á þessu hóteli! Hann var algjörlega frábær og kaffið afbragðsgott. Veitingastaðurinn sjálfur er virkilega flottur og mikið frelsi þar sem rýmið er mjög rúmgott og þægilegt. Algjör gæðastund til að byrja daginn!"

Cons:

Það er ekkert, mæli 100 % með þessu Hóteli

Pros:

best breakfast I’ve had staying in Iceland!!

Simple room with kettle, TV, comfortable bed

Cons:

The room had a noisy draft so I had to put a towel underneath the door to make it quiet.

Parking situation is confusing, had to drive around the neighborhood for a long time to find a spot and settled a few streets further

Pros:

Das Hotel ist zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es war sauber, super zentral gelegen, es gibt mit Glück kostenlose Parkplätze und das Frühstück ist tiptop! Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Für ein paar Tage Aufenthalt in Reykjavik absolut zu empfehlen!
