Very very kind staff. Their rooms are very different and cozy from other hotels and they had nice wooden structures that reach the ceiling. They’re so romantic and perfect for a couple stay. Everything in the lounge area was also very cozy and relaxing. Def recommend if you’re staying in Reykjavík.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean comfortable rooms and nice staff made the stay a good experience. Somewhat close to down town shops, though it’s not a quick 5 min walk or something like that. No restaurant for dinners either, but it seems a fair amount of hotels in Reykjavík don’t have restaurants (they do have a breakfast area). My fife star rating is just my level of contentment with my pick, and not comparing it to a NY 5 star or something like that.

We stayed two nights in this hotel and absolutely loved it. The lovely ladies that checked us in were super friendly and accommodating. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had a nice view of the water. We didn’t try the breakfast, but it looked nice. We really enjoyed having the free coffee and tea at the front lobby. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

The hotel was very well thought out and the staff were lovely and very helpful. The tea and coffee station 24/7 was a lovely touch. The room was very clean and the products were a lovely touch. I didn’t mind that there was no cleaning throughout the stay as the team made it very clear I could ask for anything else I needed. Lovely hotel and would definitely would recommend to friends and family.
