Let me start by saying that I really liked this hotel. The room was a good size, it was comfortable, the radiators were very easy to control so I could set the room as I wanted, there was also a huge fridge for cold drinks. The staff were really nice, there was someone there late at night and early in the morning, always happy to help. Location wise, if you're going to things in the city centre, it's perfect. I visited for Iceland Airwaves and I could literally leave my room and be in a venue within 4 minutes, pretty much everything I wanted to see in town was walkable, there are two bus stops for shuttle busses within a few minutes walk. For some this will be a downside - there's an American Bar next door that plays music until late at night and on one day there was a stage with DJs in the square behind the room (which finished around 11pm) so, honestly, if you're not the kind of person who's out until midnight then this might not be the area for you to stay in but that's kind of what comes with being a hotel in the busiest part of town - what's great for me won't necessarily be right for everyone. That aside, this was comfortable and I had a great stay. If you're looking for somewhere for Iceland Airwaves this place is literally the perfect hotel for you.

The staff was friendly and very helpful! Our room was comfortable and clean. The lobby was very kitschy and cute. The hotel was located in the perfect location close to lots of shops, bars and restaurants. Parking in this area is challenging and expensive but that is the only downfall. I'd recommend this hotel to friends!

The decor is rather eclectic, but our room was spacious and clean, which was appreciated after many cramped rooms around Iceland. The staff were especially nice and friendly, so shoutout there. The location is also very central, although be careful not to confuse this hotel with the Central Hotels, which are different (but nearby). Thanks to the staff and great location, I'd definitely stay here again.
