Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is located right in the heart of downtown, near the bus stop where we caught the tour buses for our day trips. The rooms are comfortable, and having an extra bed for bathroom facilities was convenient. However, there were no games for children available. The service was excellent, especially housekeeping and laundry services, and we appreciated the happy hour. The hotel's location near the historic downtown and a local supermarket called Bonus made it very convenient. The dining experience with fresh salads was enjoyable. The hotel's facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience, despite a minor issue with value for money.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel, with clean and spacious rooms, great service, and a prime location near the city center. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited food options. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, perfect for families with the extra bed and games for children. The shared bathrooms were well-equipped. The friendly staff made me feel right at home. Although the dining options were limited, the hotel's great location in the center of Reykjavik made up for it.
The hotel is ideally located near the bus stop where we caught the tour buses for day tours, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay, but sharing a bathroom wasn't ideal. The service was top-notch with attentive housekeeping and a nice happy hour. However, the hand-cut steaks at the dining venue were a bit overpriced. Overall, a great place to stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is ideally located, very close to everything you want to see in Reykjavik. The rooms are clean and comfortable with excellent bathroom facilities, and the staff is attentive and friendly. However, the shared bathrooms may not be to everyone's liking. The hotel facilities are modern and well-kept.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with games for children and an extra bed in the rooms. The location is convenient, close to a local supermarket called Bonus, but the dining experience and facilities could be improved for a more satisfying stay.
