The hotel rooms were spotless and spacious, seeming recently remodeled with all necessary amenities like a hairdryer, tea, coffee facilities, and a wide range of UK TV channels. The service was friendly and accommodating, offering quick check-in and fresh milk upon request. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to downtown RKV and notable attractions like the Harpa hall and old town. The dining experience was outstanding, providing a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a great value for money but lacking in some minor organization aspects.

I stayed at Reykjavik4you apartments which were much more modern, spacious, and most importantly cleaner than this hotel. The room with a double bed was on the back side of the hotel, so we didn't have a view of anything but the construction site behind the hotel. The hotel staff personally recommended it as she had stayed there at 12 noon. They are friendly, approachable, incredibly friendly, and helpful in coordinating any travel requests we had.

The hotel offers a cozy stay with quiet and comfortable rooms, even though they are a bit tiny and lacking in decor. The service was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making check-in swift and providing excellent local recommendations. The location is convenient, with a 'mountain retreat' feel right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore on foot. The dining experience was appetizing with a good range of choices, but breakfast selections could be improved. Overall, it's a value-for-money option for a pleasant stay.
