There are many options in Reykjavik and this is a definite pass. It is noisiest hotel I have stayed in. When I mentioned something to the desk, their response was. “It is in the city.” I have stayed hotels in NYC, London, Paris, etc that were in the middle of the city and they were quiet compared to this place. Never again!!

Good location

Hotel was good and in good location. No change of towels and bed every day. Breakfast could be better, no very fresh at the end of service, no eggs to choose just one and over cooked.
