Just got back from staying here for a week. Our room was great, spacious with a large deck and water view (we booked the deluxe room), the front desk staff was very helpful and friendly and made our stay enjoyable, the breakfast had lots of options (fresh fruit and cereals, bacon and eggs, waffles, croissants, meats and cheeses, yogurt...), and it was conveniently located (short walking distance to Bus Stop 9, Laugavegur, and Harpa). We definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.
