    Although the bathroom looked clean it had a weird smell.

    The staff was very friendly and kind. Breakfast was simple, but good overall.

    The ventilation of the bathroom was a bit slow and therefore it smelled.

    We had an excellent Maisonette Suite for 3 people on the 3rd floor. There was a big window, a Couch, 2 chairs, a table, a desk and a bathroom on the lower Level and 3 beds on the upper level.

    The toilet flush in room 214 sometimes did not stop flushing, had to be unscrewed. The shower water was set to 38° which felt like 50° and could not be turned down.

    Very nice staff, tea and Happy marriage cake at 5pm, room 214 comfortable and warm

    The hotel itself was very nice. The only things that concerned us had to do with the management policies I guess you would call them. The fact that we received an email several months before threatening to cancel our booking unless we confirmed was unneccesary when the hotel had credit card information already. This caused stress as it seemed to either be a scam or a threat to our booking. Upon arrival we were informed that an additional tourist tax was being applied which we felt should have been included in the price since it would be no surprise to booking.com. We also could see no need for a photocopy of my identification to be taken when the room was already paid for and the hotel had the credit information. No hotel in my recent experience has ever asked for this and no other place we stayed at in Iceland did either.

    The room was very clean with a nice view of the mountains. The breakfast was excellent and the coffee machine was much appreciated.

    The hot water has a sulfur smell. Other than that our stay was excellent.

    Our room was a two level loft arrangement with two beds down and three beds upstairs with plenty of room for my family of four. Both the bathroom and sleeping areas were clean and tidy. The beds and bedding were very clean and comfortable. The hotel offers a complimentary coffee machine in the breakfast area and served cake in the evening. The breakfast served was very good and had a decent selection. They have a recreation room with ping pong, fuzz ball, axe throwing and other games to play. The hotel has its own parking lot of you are coming by car.

    Using the shower was a challenge; controlling temperature of the water was difficult and the shower curtain didn’t really keep water from getting out on to the floor. This was only a minor inconvenience.

    Room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking available. Breakfast was very good and we enjoyed the cake service in the evening.

    Bath needs a renewable and the breakfast could be richer of food.

    Nice room with 2 level. One for bathroom and leaving and upstairs for the beds. Good landscape by Window looking the mountains in front of reykjavik. Location position is perfect to go to the downtown on foot within 5 minute.  Reccomended for short period to Reykjavík

    Shower had an odor from the hot water, shower curtain would blow against your body when showering.

    Large rooms can accommodate 5 people with single beds. Breakfast was really well done, eggs were uncooked soft boiled eggs. Everything else was very well done. Rooms were comfortable. There is a smell of sulfur from the hot water but not the cold water. Close enough to downtown to walk about a 1km walk
