Great location, good food, and the best staff! They work with you to help solve your issues. The only complaint I would mention is that the rooms are kind of small.
We liked this hotel, the staff was extremely helpful and told us where to go in the area. The room is small but was good enough for us. Best part was the amazing breakfast, best one we had in Iceland! Featured many delicious options.
Front of house staff were not too welcoming. There were issues in the room of a bed side lamp not working and also poor intermittent WIFI signal. When this was pointed out, the front of house staff didn’t seem to be helpful and said it was my device. It wasn’t. That said, it was an average stay and only for the one night. Perhaps we were just unlucky with the room that we had. On the plus, they served a very decent and comprehensive breakfast catering for all tastes with a wide variety.
There was a party the night we stayed there. Loud music until 2am… But the lady at front desk was helpful and accommodating and found us a room as far away as possible from the event.
