Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just outside the main central area of Reykjavik with clean and functional rooms and a decent dining experience. However, the reception service could be more attentive, and the hotel is away from important landmarks.
The hotel is ideally located in a quiet area, very near everything in Reykjavik. The rooms are spacious and modern with a spread out, well-equipped bathroom. Service was lacking as the receptionist didn't seem too concerned about providing good customer service. The dining experience offers traditional offerings but lacks variety. Overall, the hotel provides great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a really big bathroom stocked with toiletries. I loved the huge ceiling in the room, it added a lovely touch. The service was a bit lacking as the receptionist seemed to be on holiday and wasn't too concerned with providing good customer service. The location was convenient, just outside the central area but within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was satisfying with hot food available and fresh local bread. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor service issues.
I had a mixed experience staying at the hotel. The location was convenient with free parking and close to shops and restaurants, but the service left much to be desired with a receptionist who didn't seem too concerned about customer service. The rooms were spacious and modern, but the dining options were limited.
The hotel is a great option for a short late winter break, with a comfortable stay and decent dining choices. The staff may not be the most attentive, but the location is convenient for exploring Reykjavik.
The hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance to many attractions and offers a great area to explore. The rooms are modern and equipped with standard toiletries. However, the service at the reception desk lacked attention to detail. The dining options provided traditional offerings but could be more diverse. Overall, it's a good value for a stay in Reykjavik.
