4/5 - Good
Everything was nice except the hotel staff. Very cold, unhelpful and showed little to no interest in the guests. Needs improvement.

My room was lovely andclean, with a great view over the harbour. Breakfadt was delicious, lovely porridge each day and a cold buffet including mears, fruit and cheese.

We really liked this town. It was small enough to walk around and big enough to find everything you need. It also made a great base.
Cute town.
Close to Reykavik and cheaper
Only got 1 towel for a family room with 6 beds. Also- some.soap in the shower would be nice.
Great neighborhood not too far outside of Reykjavik (about 15 min). Not touristy and close to many typical shopping options including sushi, pizza, Krona Grocery, Bonus Grocery, ice cream, bakery and breakfast, close to main highways.
