I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they were on the small side given the higher price we paid. The service was fantastic, with daily towel changes and helpful staff members like Pablo. The central location was a major plus, making it easy to explore the city. However, the dining options were limited, and the breakfast was basic. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel's rooms were clean and very warm, which was great considering the snowy weather. The rooms, although compact, had everything we needed. However, the space outside the rooms was very small, with limited room for furniture and a tiny shower unit. The location was fantastic for exploring, being halfway between uptown and downtown Reykjavik on the main shopping street with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.
