Perfect place and very convenient

Their is a common fridge that is very well appreciated where you may leave your unused food and condiment, peanut butter, beer, jelly, butter was found. It was very helpful and eco friendly, we were able to complete our dinner and breakfast. Place is clean and quiet with a good view over the mountains and city.

I loved this hotel!! It was 5 minutes away from the center of town, clean, modern, had a pullout couch and a table for three and a nice balcony. There are fridges in the rooms as well as coffeemaker and safe. I don’t understand the negative reviews. It was a nice basic facility that doesn’t pretend that it’s some luxury hotel. The room and bathrooms are large. There are even hot tubs you can use. Check in was easy via email. Best value for Iceland

Great location. Cramped bathrrom - shower did not drain properly making the water overflow on to the bathrrom floor. No staff available on premises to ask any questions or provide any assistance.

No one worked there it seemed, so didn’t see any staff. Very nice facility, but too hot inside. Sweated every night in bed. Couldn’t crack patiodoor because someone could get in, and no window to crack. Couldn’t adjust thermostat. It was only on heat 18C but it was like 23C at all times. Not comfortable to sleep in.

Very nice and clean modern rooms. There is self check in and you don’t interact with any staff, which was fine. The bathroom was very clean, the shower was great with variable pressure and very warm. I appreciated they had a hairdryer. The bed was comfortable and there was a smart TV which was nice at the end of the day! There is a small fridge in the room but in the dining area, there is a large fridge and microwave for you to use. There’s even a hot tub. It was the best hotel we’ve stayed at in Iceland.
