A nice place to stay in Iceland

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 May 2024
The room was simple, as seems to be the norm in Iceland, clean, and a comfortable size. Our room was on the top floor. We found it to be a bit too warm for us and we had the heat turned off. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our planned excursions for one day were canceled due to weather. The front desk offered suggestions for alternative outings and called a cab to get us to our destinations. We enjoyed all of the recommended alternative attractions and were very thankful for their assistance.

We had a bit of trouble finding the hotel, and did not realize that there was no parking available. Not the hotel's fault but it did cost us an extra $160 for two nights.
Louis was a wonderful help to us and Gina made sure we got a quieter room the second evening we were there. The hotel is close to some bars and with the late daylight hours, people were having fun and loudly, until 5:30 am. Again, not the hotel's fault. The room was comfortable and nicely appointed with coffee machine end lovely Molton Brown toiletries. The hotel was really well positioned to see everything in Reykjavik on foot. The breakfast at the restaurant next door was less than mediocre.

Lovely upscale boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Reykjavik close to everything. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are very helpful assisting with day tours. Apotek Restaurant is quite popular and the food - Icelandic cuisine - is terrific.

Room tip: Just know that if you book a small single room - small but efficient it is.

Great location not far from the harbour and overlooking the Austurvollur square near the Parliament. The breakfast here was the best we had in our stay in Iceland - everything from hotdogs to cod liver oil, skyr to scrambled eggs and the most delicious bread (several varieties) I have eaten in a long time. In fact we also went on a food tour of Reykjavik during our stay and the guide told us it served the best breakfast in town.

Staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was very comfortable. You can walk from the hotel to the Rainbow Street in about 5 minutes and there are lots of places to eat and drink close to the hotel. It's also very close to Bus Stop 3 which was a pick-up for lots of tours.
