The hotel is perfectly located in the city center of Reykjavik, close to many attractions & restaurants. The rooms are clean with a comfy bed, but there was too much bedding even for a chair. The service at the reception desk was top-notch, and the price was reasonable for the value provided. The hotel dining options were excellent, offering dishes with many varieties of fresh ingredients. However, the facilities were lacking some key amenities we expected.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a very modern contemporary feel and the most comfortable massive bed, even for a chair. The service at the reception desk was exceptional, making me feel well taken care of. Its central location in the city center made it so easy to walk to restaurants. However, the dining experience was lacking variety in fresh ingredients for cappuccino. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and convenience.
