Terrible hotel
Pros:

This hotel is no more than 2 star. It is run down and in extreme need for refurbishment. Scuffed doors and floor. Old furniture. Pathetic breakfast. In fact the worst hotel breakfast among all the hotels we stayed in during our two week holiday.

Thumbs Up - Great Hotel
Pros:

Great experience at this hugely. Rooms were good and service was excellent t. Manager went out if his way to find us a bucket to soak my foot in. Breakfast was good and had more variety than most. Centrally located so easy to explore the city.

Hotel Kea
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing and enjoyable.

The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the area and access resturants and meetings which I was doing.. I was especially impressed by the brekfast and the dinner at Múlaberg.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant experience, and I would be happy to stay here again in the future. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable!

Pros:

Emplacement de l'hôtel très central. Bar et restaurant sur place. Chambre propre, literie OK, mini réfrigérateur à disposition. Salle d’eau correcte. Petit-déjeuner très bien.

Cons:

Mauvaise insonorisation. Heureusement que la circulation se calme entre 22h et 7h.
Pas assez de places de parking, il faut se garer sur les parkings publics payants de 10h à 16h.
Pas de skyr ni de yaourts au petit-déjeuner (mais c’est un détail inattendu !)

Pros:

Very nice hotel, very nice breakfast included with many choices. Parking turned out to not be an issue at all, free anywhere in the city from 4pm-10am, but I found a spot just outside of the paid parking zone within a block anyways.
