We were disappointed in some aspects of the hotel, considering the price we were paying.
Pros:

Breakfast was quite good, with lots of choice. Front desk staff were friendly.

Cons:

The room was large and clean, but lacking in many amenities, such as : no drawers and little storage space, particularly short of counter space, shelves and hooks in the bathroom; no washcloths/facecloths to use with the provided bodywash; no coffee creamer or milk powder for the coffee machine; took 2 days for requested extra pillows to arrive.
The room was very noisy at night - not from other guests, but from passers-by in the surrounding streets. Lots of shouting, singing, partying, yelling, etc. until 2;00 to 3;00 a.m., which kept waking us up even though we were on the fourth floor.

Think Twice!
Pros:

First the pros- hotel is in a wonderful location to access some of the highlights of Reykjavik. Secondly, the staff were just lovely & tried very hard to assist you as best they can. I was with a Viking tour group the end of June & a young male employee who was at the desk at 5pm with a name that sounded like Kobar went of his way to help me secure sturdy tape to apply a temporary remedy to my significantly damaged suitcase that had arrived from the airport.

On the negative side, as noted by previous guests, the breakfast buffet is lukewarm at best. They use a heat light instead of an enclosed serving dish to keep the food so called warm. Dinner was tasty & appropriately cooked.

We were “upgraded” but the room’s room darkening shades did not function in that capacity. Light came in from both sides the entire length of the curtain & the wood floor had deep gouges in the floor.

The hotel gives off a dull darkish appearance & could use a refurbishment.

No val el que pagues.
Pros:

Esmorzar buffet.
Nevereta a l'habitació.
TV gran

Cons:

Habitacions petites amb teulada incòmode i fàcil xocar-hi.
Lavabo realment petit (menys de 3 metres quadrats).
Esmorzar box lamentable el dia que marxàvem a les 6:00.
El primer dia ens van donar una habitació que no havien deixat llesta, tenia els llençols i tovalloles pel terra.
Entre l'ascensor i la nostra habitació hi havia 6 esglaons incòmodes.
La televisió no era Smart TV.

Gode værelser, god beliggenhed, uro fra gaden og kedelig morgenmad
Pros:

Bedste beliggenhed. Flotte store værelser.

Cons:

Morgenmaden, den varme del, røræg var ikke hjemmelavet, spejlæg underlig form og hårde. Der var en del larm fra pølsevognen frem til kl 5 om morgenen.

Decepcionante
Pros:

El desayuno: muy completo y todo muy rico. Siempre atentos a la reposición de los alimentos.

Cons:

Que el desagüe de la ducha estuviera tapado y que el servicio de mucamas se molestara por pedir que limpiaran la habitación.
Las instalaciones del hotel son muy viejas.

Right in the heart of the city
Pros:

The location was right on the main square so it was noisy late into the evening (Friday night), but walking distance to everything. The provided parking was expensive but the front desk explained where to park on the street and the app we needed to pay for parking. It worked out fine for us as we were only staying on night.

Cons:

Parking could be a problem on the street or you can pay for parking in the lot if you didn't mind the price.

Gode værelser, god beliggenhed, kedelig morgenmad
Pros:

Dejligt stort værelse og badeværelse. Vinduer kunne åbnes så der kom frisk luft ind. God beliggenhed.

Cons:

Morgenmaden levede ikke op til mine forventninger. Især det varme. Lidt meget larm fra Pølsevognen ved siden af. Det var fint vejr og der var folk til kl. 5 om morgenen.

Shower issues
Pros:

This hotel was in a good location and most of the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Luna. Our problem was the room we were assigned. The room had a bathtub shower combo. For older adults it was very difficult to get in and out of. We requested a reassignment and moved to a walk-in shower room the next afternoon. Our stay was part of a Viking Cruise. They may have been why we were assigned the first room.

Luksusowy hotel w samym centrum
Pros:

Lokalizacja, duży luksusowy pokój

Cons:

Brak hotelowego parkingu. Śniadania w Islandii są zwykle bardzo skromne w porównaniu do innych krajów Europy, tu było nieźle ale i tak nie był to poziom do którego jesteśmy przyzwyczajeni, zwłaszcza w tak luksusowym hotelu.
