The hotel was very clean and just as pictured. The bed was comfortable and shower water pressure was amazing! I liked the keyless entry and check in. Parking is not super convenient, but not too crazy and I don’t have complaints. Just something to note. There are limited free parking spaces right by the hotel, but there were many free spaces about a block away. Would definitely stay again!

Nice hotel, no reception. Use code in door and room.Easy and no time wasted in queue. Prompt answers when contacted. No cleaning during the stay, as announced. Possible to pay for extra towels, cleaning and breakfast.

Clean, simple, comfortable rooms - perfect if you are on the go traveler and just want a clean quiet place to sleep. About 10 minutes walk to the main activity area of town - straight down the street. Right by a grocery store and a healthy restaurant called Loving Hut. I was hesitant about not having a live front desk but they respond to emails super fast and the codes worked great. I didn't try the attached restaurant. Note: if you have trouble finding on google maps it was called 22 Hill before.

Nice looking hotel

The room is recently renovated, clean and comfortable. We did have a problem with our code working when we first arrived but we called the phone number (as there is no front desk) and it was resolved. We saw other people having this same issue so it was not a one time issue. Also the TV is very large but it doesn’t get any stations and isn’t a smart tv so it cannot be used at all. Parking was a little bit of an issue as well but we were able to find some free parking across the street from the hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Over a 5 night stay, our room (flanked by a large and active construction site) was never cleaned. With myself and two children, we were never offered fresh towels, coffee was never replenished, and were never relieved of the mounting food waste accumulating in our room. The on-site restaurant claimed no affiliation with the hotel and refused to even lend me a bowl for my child’s cereal. The only time we interacted with actual hotel staff (since check-in is virtual) was when we heard a knock at our door thirty minutes prior to check-out and an attendant proceeded to enter our room without invitation. I would strongly dissuade other travelers from staying at this property. Iceland is incredibly…this hotel is not.
