    Just a fine choice for a fleeting stay with good value. The room was spacious enough for our needs, though it lacked air-conditioning. Bring your own mattress pad if you're sensitive to comfort!

    stylish decor
    varied breakfast
    welcoming staff
    noisy street
    limited parking
    warm room

    The atmosphere at the hotel feels trendy and modern, with its stylish decor and industrial-chic vibe. Staff members were incredibly welcoming, always ready to help with any questions. The room was clean, featuring a balcony with a nice view, but I found the room too warm. Even with the window open, outside noise from the busy street was noticeable. The breakfast options were varied and fresh, especially enjoyed the waffles. However, I noted a lack of hot breakfast selections. The bakery downstairs offered delicious pastries, particularly the crème brûlée donut, which was a standout treat. The shared spaces felt a bit cramped during peak hours, especially around the dining area. Parking posed a challenge. while I found a spot a short walk away, clearer directions for hotel parking would have been appreciated. The sauna and gym looked nice, but I didn't get the chance to use them. Overall, enjoyable stay but some areas could benefit from improvements.

    Chic, Chic, Chic

    The industrial-chic decor gives the hotel a vibrant yet cozy feel, especially with warm ambient lighting that invites you to relax. Our room, with fine harbor views, made our anniversary lovely. The complimentary drink tokens were a good surprise that set the perfect tone for our stay!

    comfortable bed
    harbor view
    delicious bakery
    road noise
    minimal air circulation

    The location was fantastic for exploring Reykjavik, especially being close to the harbor and local attractions. The room was very comfortable, with a separate seating area and a large raindrop showerhead that made the shower experience really enjoyable. What stood out the most was the bakery downstairs. the chocolate and sea salt donuts were absolutely amazing! Overall, it was a great stay.

    ultra-modern hotel
    comfortable room

    central spot for stunning architecture and peaceful parks

    I loved that this hotel is just a few steps from the Reykjavik Museum of Photography and less than a 5-minute walk from the beautiful Lake Tjornin, making my weekend strolls absolutely delightful. the room was comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for a single traveler like me looking to explore the city on foot.

    Excellent breakfast variety and quality.

    The hotel staff seemed indifferent and unhelpful during our stay. On top of that, the cleaning staff knocked and entered the room without permission, which was both surprising and uncomfortable.

    fantastic shower
    steamy shower situation

    Had an awesome stay with a super comfy bed and a fantastic shower that really made my mornings! I loved the relaxing sauna and the cozy common room where I could chill out. The only downside was the steamy shower situation, but it didn’t really bother me. 😊
