Lovely accommodation, highly recommend to others want to stay in Reykjavik. Friendly helpful staff, clean, good food, comfortable beds and walking distance to the centre of town
What a wonderful hotel! It’s quiet, clean, great location, really comfortable with lovely decor and a cosy lounge seating area downstairs Really friendly and helpful staff too.
Very very kind staff. Their rooms are very different and cozy from other hotels and they had nice wooden structures that reach the ceiling. They’re so romantic and perfect for a couple stay. Everything in the lounge area was also very cozy and relaxing. Def recommend if you’re staying in Reykjavík.
Beautiful, cozy room with a perfect location and a great breakfast. Super helpful staff. Called me immediately when they found my lost Iwatch before I headed to the airport which was a lifesaver. Couldn't say enough good things about this hotel and staff.
The friendly staff, cozy atmosphere of the common areas, and the ocean and mountain view of the bedroom made our stay special. The breakfast was delicious with organic and well prepared with local ingredients. The lentils soup and panini were also superb!
This hotel is just beautifully appointed, and a great value for the price. It was an enjoyable walk from all the main attractions in the heart of the city, and offers a fabulous view of the bay. I would stay here again — it was very romantic.
Clean comfortable rooms and nice staff made the stay a good experience. Somewhat close to down town shops, though it’s not a quick 5 min walk or something like that. No restaurant for dinners either, but it seems a fair amount of hotels in Reykjavík don’t have restaurants (they do have a breakfast area). My fife star rating is just my level of contentment with my pick, and not comparing it to a NY 5 star or something like that.
The room was clean, well appointed and cozy, but what stood out was the helpfulness of the front desk staff who arranged transportation for me, recommended an excellent neighborhood restaurant and patiently answered all of my questions.
An amazing hotel! Small enough to feel like everyone knows each other but large enough to offer a variety of services. Dinner was amazing and the overall atmosphere phenomenal
