Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location facing the park seemed great until the late-night noise from nearby bars became disruptive. The efficient and welcoming service staff offered modern and comfortable rooms with a lovely view over the park. The dining options were limited, but the hotel's amenities and facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The location was superb, close to local restaurants and with easy access to the city center, but it could be noisy on Saturday nights. The rooms were modern and offered stunning views, although hallway noise was a bit bothersome. The service was excellent overall, with welcoming staff and helpful recommendations, but there were some lapses in housekeeping. Dining was satisfactory with a bit of a high price tag, and the facilities were convenient for a comfortable stay.
The location of the hotel is outstanding, right in the heart of the 101 district, offering easy access to bars, bistros, shops, and sights. The rooms face the park, which initially seemed great until late at night when it became noisy with boisterous crowds. The dining options are brilliant and within walking distance, though some find them quite pricey.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious yet cozy, exactly how I like it. They were not fussy but luxurious in all the right ways with a comfortable bed, crisp white sheets, a spotlessly clean bathroom, lots of towels, and great water pressure. The design was top-notch, and I didn't detect even a hint of sulphur. The service was pleasant and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the Old Town of Reykjavik and close to the cathedral. The dining experience, while not exceptional, did the job for starting the day in Reykjavik. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
