Pros:

La posizione in centro città

Cons:

La camera non era come nelle foto di booking, piccola e fredda, il bagno aveva uno strano odore e la stanza ha bisogno di essere rinnovata

Excellent hotel with amazing staff!
Pros:

The location cannot be more central! The hotel facilities are just what is needed. The staff was excellent! Especially, the Iranian manager. He did the extra file to help me find the toiletries I forgot in the room when I checked out.

Pros:

Situé en plein centre de Reykjavik, on peut difficilement faire mieux en matière d’emplacement. La chambre est propre et de taille raisonnable.

Cons:

Comme l'hôtel est situé dans la rue animée de Reykjavik, nous avons eu un peu de bruit le samedi soir. Pour le petit déjeuner, on aurait apprécié avoir du skyr (qui est quand même la spécialité de l'île :).

Very good to 3 nights after our Iclandic cruise.
Pros:

The location was the best for shopping, restuarants and other sights.
We didn't eat breakfast at hotel, but we used the kitchen for coffee and bought our own breakfast items and ate in room. I the room was large but a bit too warm on sunny days.
There was a lot of noise and distraction during our stay due to window washers.

Cons:

No A/C

Our rooms were overlooking the street. Quite noisy at night.
