Great value for money, breakfast, design, sauna, but smelly in parts.
Pros:

Great value for money especially if you appreciate design and comfort and a sauna. The buffet breatfast was excellent food quality, with restauarant grade ingredients.

Cons:

I was staying in the x building and it had a very weird smell that persisted over 3 days and was very unpleasant.

would come back
Pros:

friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, excellent location for boat trips and exhibitions and not to far to walk into city centre,
bakery on site does excellent cakes especially the doughnuts

Cons:

the pricing for breakfast , we thought we had included breakfast in prebooking payment, only to be told that we had not and it was 35 euros per head which even by Iceland standards was expensive for a buffet style

Amazing location, clean, quiet rooms and amazing staff.
Pros:

Location was excellent, very easy to get around on foot into the thick of it and also convenient to park our hire car for day trips.

Cons:

I found the breakfast options a little limited and the room was a little cooler than I would have liked. These are very minor not picky points as I would definitely stay against and recommend.

Great stay though poor lighting.
Pros:

Location, breakfast and staff we all great. Loved the sauna and gym options.
Sarah at the front desk apologized and gave us an additional lamp to try to help out with the poor room lighting, which was very thoughtful.

Cons:

The lighting in the rooms were awful! Needed to use phone flashlight to see in suitcases and check for small items. The bathroom shower was the room with the most light.
