    The windows were on facilities side, not really nice to see such view. The bathroom is outdated.

    The location is perfect, close to the old center. The breakfast was good. The room is spacious with everything I needed

    A fine hotel but very expensive.

    This hotel charges a different rate for each night of the week. Thursday we paid $399, Friday 428, Saturday $643!!! and Sunday $345. On top of these rates breakfast was not included! $28 per person is the charge for breakfast. Nothing in Reykjavík is reasonable but we found these rates to be excessive.

    The breakfast buffet was good but expensive especially on top of the room rate. The location was perfect, central to everything you want to see in Reykjavik.

    Asked that the room be charged to our WISE card which we gave the person at reception, rather than the card on file. However, later realised that it was charged to the Visa card on file, and so we incurred an international transaction fee, which would have been avoided if the correct card was charged.

    Location was fantastic. Love the water, tea and coffee and chocolate at reception. Staff were very friendly.

    Great service - a little more focus on housekeeping needed.

    Where it let us down was the cleanliness of the room. It wasn’t bad by any stretch but for the price point we just expected a bit more care to be taken I.e cleaning rag was left in the room, coffee cup wasn’t cleaned, bed looked pretty hastily made, bed side tables after cleaning were left on the diagonal. There was some unpleasant / musty smells at time from the hallways (not sure how much that can be controlled). Now again this wasn’t anything critical and we still had a lovely stay - I think for what we paid we would’ve expected some of these things to be a bit more perfect but overall I’d say these are easy fixes with more care taken with housekeeping.

    The location was great and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Andrea at the front desk was very lovely and so welcoming! We requested a quiet room after reading some reviews about the noise. This was easily accommodated for us. Whilst we were there over a weekend and did hear a little noise it wasn’t a concern for us. A pretty easy walk to any tourist attractions and tour bus stops as well.

    It was very noisy outside thru the night. The twin beds were very small and very soft and I don’t like the shower over the very high bath , too dangerous to slip and fall. The towels were very old also.

    It was close to the centre& restaurants & shops. The room and bathrooms were big.

    The bathroom lacked hooks for towels and/or space to place your toiletry bags, under or near the sink. Better placement of the power outlets in the room.

    We found the hotel nicely situated to all the activities we were interested in seeing, easy access to bus stop # 3, for transfers to the airport bus and any excursions. Also within easy walking distance to the restaurants and shops. We walked from the Purlan Museum to the hotel on our second day and it was a good walk even in the cold! Our room was a good size, however it appeared to have been reconfigured recently as the outlets were along a wall with no table and the desk lacked any outlets within reach. Having a kettle in the room was a plus, even if I had to sit in on the nightstand to connect to power! The bed was comfortable and the room clean, however it lacked the nordic cozyness we'd seen in other hotels. Our first night was a Saturday and we could hear the sounds from a nightclub nearby well after midnight! The second night was quiet and we had a great sleep. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of options and we enjoyed the quality, selection and presentation of the food, along with the staff within the restaurant. I made the mistake of not selecting the breakfast option when booking the room and therefore we paid the standard 40 E each for the breakfast buffet on our first morning as we had to be out early for an excursion. For our second morning we opted out of the buffet and purchased 2 coffees and 2 croissants from the little cafe at the front of the hotel. Although still expensive the pricing seemed to align with other food costs when eating out in Reykjavik.

    The shower stall was not effective at keeping water in. Water leaked out on the bathroom floor.

    I’ve stayed in several radisson blu hotels in the past and would say this is a more “basic” hotel in comparison. Temper expectations before going.

    The location is fantastic - restaurants, bars, shopping and the modern art museum are less than 5 minutes walk away.

    If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs as it is quite noisy at nighttime with people leaving nearby pubs and visiting the hotdog place below! The cost of such a great location!

    The room was beautiful. Big, clean, comfortable. Couldn't have been nicer! Breakfast was fabulous, huge variety buffet of hot and cold items. Staff were lovely and helpful.

    Our room was particularly noisy (Saturday night) - so I would request a room away from the street next time. Also the curtains dont fully close therefore lots of light comes in

    Brilliant location, close to everything required. The staff were also extremely helpful with us.
