the breakfast was delicious with many options. i enjoyed boiled eggs and fresh fruit. staff were friendly and gave excellent suggestions for tours. the hotel is one block from the ocean. i found this location beautiful and peaceful.
the room was super small. moving around was difficult. the blinds let light in so it wasn't dark. the bed was two beds pushed together, so a pit formed.

The breakfast had a wide selection. It included meats, cheeses, and pastries. The hotel is near a supermarket. It is convenient for getting supplies.
The room was quite small. There was very little space around the bed. The washbowl in the bathroom was also small. Water splashed onto the floor every time I washed.

convenient stay with super staff

helpful staffconvenient pickupssmall room
The staff were very helpful and pleasant! the hotel room was clean, and the walk to the center is about 10, 15 minutes. breakfast had bread, plain yoghurt, and juice. It was a simple but good start to the day. transportation to the airport and large tour buses can access the hotel, and this provided convenient pickups right at the front doors
the room was a little small, and i hadn't realized how compact it would be! it was a bit tricky to move around, especially with my suitcase and backpack. i managed for the few nights i stayed, though

The hotel offers a location near the ocean. the staff provided suggestions for tours and restaurants. the room i had was clean, and i felt safe. i could easily walk to laugavegur in about 15 minutes. It was very convenient.
my room was small, and the bathroom also lacked shelf space. there was no place to put soap or shampoo during showers. the window opened to a hallway, so fresh air was not available. i missed having that option.

The superior room felt spacious and clean. The hotel offers a nice breakfast. It includes boiled eggs, porridge, cereal, breads, pastries, ham, salami, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, jams, peanut butter, oranges, yogurt, tea, juices and coffee. The lobby was comfortable.
The room was a bit too warm. Even with the radiator off, it was still quite stuffy.
