We had a really great experience here and the best mattresses we've found by far. This is the 5th night in Iceland for us and the previous 4 hotels the mattresses were not good at all. This hotel was lovely in every respect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast they offered was probably the nicest one I've ever had - anywhere. Good water, good tv, good location, nice hotel :-)

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.

The rooms were very dingy. The bathroom was deplorable. No elevators and no one to help if you have to haul your luggage. Breakfast was disappointing. Dinner was overpriced. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I should have looked at the Google rating (which is around 3) and it is correctly so.

The hotel room itself was very nice. It was the first room we have stayed at in Iceland with multiple pillows. The shower was inconsistent in its ability to stay hot, but wouldn’t go as far to say it got cold when it shouldn’t have been. Opening a window was a must, as it got a little stuffy and warm overnight. The room did not come with a mini fridge. The toilet was also not the strongest, as it required multiple flushes in some instances. The onsite restaurant was nice. It was vegan friendly, but not an abundance of options. The menu was definitely on the pricier side, but had a wide array of options for someone with an unrestricted diet. Very pretty views from rooms. Breakfast was good. There was an assortment of fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, coffee, tea, cereal, and juices.

Das Personal war freundlich und bemüht. Das Zimmer war sauber und geräumig. Insgesamt ist das Hotel in die Jahre gekommen. Preis-Leistung stimmten gar nicht. Es ist in keinster Weise barrierefrei. Beim Frühstück war die auswahl übersichtlich und vieles, das schon leer war, wurde nicht nachgeräumt.

Hotel was easy to find. Access to reception is through a flight of stairs, have to carry your heavy luggage. The room that was given to us smelled bad and noticed the toilet had not been cleaned; I immediately notified the receptionist and right away placed us in a better room and handled the situation. I wish I could give a better review, even after the issue was resolved, but I did not feel comfortable for the remainder of my stay (use of bathroom, eating in the restaurant).
