Good
Pros:

Good location
Staff are not on site but are very responsive on WhatsApp
Check in is easy
Bakery attached to property although it is expensive
Cooking facilities were good but more cutlery would help so the dishwasher doesn’t need to be used so much

Cons:

Very expensive (like everywhere in Iceland)
Room had a very small single bed
Breakfast not included, this is only at their other location
There is nowhere in bathroom to put toiletries
My room was directly facing the car park so blinds had to be kept down the whole time so people didn’t see in
Very noisy in the mornings with people leaving in their cars

Baggage storage so you have a place to put your bags when you arrive and before your room in available. Most flights from USA arrive in the morning. You can drop off your bags and go explore or have lunch. Less than six blocks from DlyBus atop 13

Cons:

Bathroom sink is very small. Bathroom lacks gooks to hang toiltry kit.

Nice stay in downtown Reykjavik
Pros:

Clean, walking distance to main downtown spots

Cons:

No staff available on the property.
A microwave would be convenient
The backery next door is good, but needs more diversity.

Our room was comfortable and quirky, while still being practical.
Pros:

The location was terrific and the staff was extremely reponsive to my questions in advance, even when they were not directly related to our stay. We also used the booking services through their website and, while I don’t know if those prices were similar to others, the quality was very good. I also really liked the kitchenette in the room, though we didn’t use it much.

Cons:

Like everything in Iceland, it’s pretty expensive—but comparatively good value, I think. It is also not right next to a lot other than the bakery, but it’s an easy walk to everything you might want.

Schönes Stadthotel mit eigener Küchenzeile
Pros:

Ein sehr stylisches Hotel. Das Zimmer bietet ausreichend Platz, hat eine gut bestückte Küche und ein schönes Bad.
Es stehen kostenlose Parkplätze zur Verfügung.
Das Hotel wird fast ohne vor Ort Personal betrieben. Trotzdem werden alle Anfragen sehr zeitnah über Email beantwortet.

Cons:

Der Fussweg zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten war weiter als erwartet.
