The room we had was very spacious and clean. Breakfast had various options. Location was very accessible to different sights. Would stay here again in the future.

3 miles from city center. Very quiet. Breakfast is a nice spread.

The facilities are dated and there is not even a television in the rooms. The room was not cleaned and we had to call in to even get some fresh towels. The worst part was the staffs said I could not take milk for my infant in his bottle because that was to be consumed only on premise. Needless to say my infant does not have his breakfast on the table. Completely disgruntled and dissatisfied with the stay.

Overall I had a great stay. Atmosphere is more B&B-ish than hotel, though. Staff is only onsite for a few hours of the day, so if you need or want something after (their) hours, you're on your own. Pizzeria and supermarket onsite was a bonus. Sure, you can purchase items for less money in other places but you can't beat the convenience. Very close to downtown Reykjavik, less than 10 minutes driving, if you have a car (which I did). Standard fare for breakfast (cereals, yogurt, whole fruit). Would've been great to have a hot option. Would have also been nice to have drawers for storage, vs just an open closet with hangers. Keyless entry was cool, but I found the door got stuck a few times; apparently you have to push it just right to get it to open on the first try. You get the hang of it, eventually. Wifi worked great but no TV's onsite. Do you need them? Not necessarily, but it would've been nice to have. We ended up streaming Netflix from my computer each night (again, great wifi connectivity). Overall, I had a great stay and would recommend the hotel to others.

Awesome location very clean hotel all excellent will book again.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Ease of check in and check out and the concept of a self service hotel.
