My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms, despite being a bit hot at night, were cozy but showed signs of wear and tear due to its central location. The service was fantastic, especially with the help in planning our trip and the warm recommendations. The location was both bustling and noisy, yet convenient for those seeking a lively atmosphere. The dining experience left something to be desired with pricey options and limited variety. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were spacious and lovely, they were in need of modernization and my view was of an empty back alley next to a construction site. The location couldn't have been more convenient, right in the heart of Reykjavik with easy access to key places. The dining, however, was a letdown with a simple brown bag for meals, not up to par for a hotel of this quality.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated, very modern, with wooden floors and minimalist furnishings. They were big enough, and I had a very comfortable bed and a luxurious shower. The service was beyond exceptional, with the staff being very friendly and helpful from the front desk to the restaurant and housekeeping team. The location was perfect, just a 2-minute walk around the corner from the bus station in the center of Reykjavik, making it super convenient to explore the city by foot.
