A dated hotel with an unwelcoming atmosphere and a disappointing breakfast — average value for money at best.
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

The hotel feels dated and in need of a refresh. The welcome was far from warm — no real sense of hospitality on arrival or during our stay.

Breakfast was below average, with a limited and uninspiring selection.

Overall, mediocre value for money. There are better options in the area for what you pay here.

recommend to the others.
Pros:

The room was clean, and the front desk staff were friendly. The location was convenient, and there was free parking available in front of the property.

Cons:

The staff responsible for breakfast overslept, and the food was not ready on time. There was also an insufficient amount of food available when breakfast service began, causing guests to rush to get what was available. Eggs and other breakfast items ran out quickly. In addition, guests were not allowed to fill their water bottles with hot drinking water during breakfast hours, which was inconvenient.

I wish the property would offer a greater variety of breakfast options and ensure that there is enough food available for all guests. Improving breakfast service and availability would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.

Pros:

Very nice staff. Coffee, tea and water is complimentary; the hotel even provides the guests with cake in the late afternoon. It's a twenty minutes' walk to Hallgrimskirkja, so it's not too far away from the city center.

Consigliato per una notte o due a Reykjavik, vicino al centro e al mare.
Pros:

Prima tappa del nostro road-trip. Hotel con parcheggio situato in una zona semi-industriale non molto affascinante ma ha il merito di essere tranquillo, vicino al supermercato Bonus (top!) e a una decina di minuti a piedi dal centro di Reykjavik e del lungomare. Pulito, buoni letti e cuscini, camera calda, sala da bagno piccolina ma tutto funzionante, TV satellitare, Wi-Fi. Buona colazione completa "internazionale", vari tipi buoni di pane, acqua calda a disposizione, staff gentile, a disposizione per dare informazioni e mappa della capitale. Abbiamo pagato 190.00 euro (settembre) e sinceramente, visto i prezzi applicati in Islanda, buon rapporto qualità-prezzo!
