Comfortable stay
Pros:

Very central location for exploring city centre. Staff was helpful and check-in was quick. Room was clean and comfortable for a few nights.

Cons:

As the hotel is so central, it is right next to and across from pubs which remains lively until the early morning hours (Friday and weekend over summer), however ear plugs were provided.

Excellent
Pros:

Nice attention from the concierge and cleanliness of the room. I do prefer the human touch over the recent trend of hotels with no contact with any people. Although there are some pubs really close to the hotel, the room stayed quiet, which is quite nice.

Cons:

Everything was quite nice. It was a bit too expensive, but the price was better than most other options.

Wonderful hotel, in downtown Reykjavik - all the restaurants and bars are literally right outside the front door. Rooms
Pros:

Eclectic decor and nice sized rooms - best part was a perfect location downtown. Loved easily walking to all the sites, dinner and be so close. Mel, at the front desk, was amazing and she made sure our stay was wonderful, especially the rooms. Mel was terrific!

Cons:

We had a car, so harder to get our things over to the hotel given there isn’t a street that runs in front of it. But it was fine. Parking was four blocks away.

Pros:

Superb location but very noisy. Helpful staff and reception staffed around the clock.

Cons:

Beware this is above several bars and despite earplugs I could barely sleep until2 am (or 4.30 on Saturday as it was so loud from below (and I was on floor 6).
The room was so tiny you could only enter the bed via the short end, TV reception was a joke and made even tight World Cup matches a pain to watch. You get a coffee machine but the single capsule was only refilled once in 3 nights, the creamer was not.

Good location, small and noisy room and sarcastic staff
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Very noisy even during the day. Rooms are small.
I was greeted by a sarcastic staff who said that “I can spend the time shopping for things I don’t need down the street.”

Great location. Easy walk to the quick things in Reykjavik before setting off for adventure.
Pros:

Location. Coziness.

Cons:

Noise, but ear plugs were given. Also makes sense how much noise there was since it’s daylight for so long.

Shower could have been cleaner.
