First of all it was a super cute boutique style hotel with really cool interior. Nordic/Rustic with very warm lighting and comfy lounge area. The staff was top tier! Bora did an amazing job accommodating us and giving us tips on places to eat and things to see. The breakfast was really good with a variety of things to enjoy. I will definitely come back real soon! I got engaged in Iceland!!!

I’m not quite sure how this hotel received such great reviews aside from its location-which was perfect. The “hotel” was more of a hostel that required guests to carry their own luggage, fetch their own towels & linens & travel all the way down to the main lobby to search for an employee who could fill an ice bucket for us each time we needed it. We had a friend join us at the last minute and instead of the staff approaching us about xtra fees, they chose to instead deactivate our room keys & lock us out of our rooms after a long & tiring day of travel. If you think you are getting lucky by finding a parking spot in front of the hotel, you are mistaken-Street parking costs 4 USD/hr. The bar on the corner is open until the early morning & drunkards can be easily heard outside your window screaming & fighting until sunrise on the weekends. Cleaning services were nearly non-existent & the one day our cleaner did choose to come into our room, she didn’t empty the trash cans or change the bed linens. Our cans were overflowing & therefore, we had to leave pizza boxes & dishes outside of our door in hopes that an employee would eventually arrive to clear these items but sadly, this did not occur. The WiFi was decent & while we did not participate in the morning breakfasts or spa access offered (for a fee, of course), these extras appeared to be nice. Furniture inside the rooms were quite weathered & the walls near the shower were patched w/ wood panels. Not worth the $ overall.
