Ryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)
Randy, 1-night trip

I didn't like it as it's way too pricey for its quality.

An obliging receptionist arranged an early check in. Good buffet breakfast.The door lock was super difficult to use. Smart TV had no free channels.
Carol, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Old building. Small rooms which are definetely not soundproof. Curtains that do not darken the room in summer. Furnishing a bit old fashioned and not much space for luggage. Very kind and very helpful staff.
