Amazing staff and great location. A short walk to downtown. There is a super market right behind the hotel. The breakfast was lovely l. Absolutely loved the pancakes. The place itself is a bit expensive but that is to be expected as most of the stuff is imported

Great stay! Breakfast was delicious and had so many options. Staff was very kind, room was clean and spacious. Great location, easy to drive around town, or head out to explore; 8 minutes from Hallgrimskirkja. Has free parking in front of hotel, spots are few and a bit tight but i had no issues. Quick market walkable behind the hotel if you want to grab snacks.
