Great central location. Friendly & helpful staff. Nice touch to have been given the upgraded room with a view. Clean room although on the small side with limited storage/hanging space so lived out of our cases. Sky Bar was nice amenity especially the happy hour.

:) Clean room, working lift, nice spa and sauna.
Beautiful views and handy location for the main centre and getting a tour bus.
:( No breakfast included and extra money to use spa facilities.
Bar area had two private functions on 2/4 evenings we stayed, which meant we had limited time to use the bar in the hotel. Hotel doesn’t serve meals either.

This hotel is a great location for museums, shopping on Laugavegur, eating and beer. It was snowing while we stayed there but we bundled up and it was a quick walk to the shops where everyone was warm and inviting. The hotel is on a corner and has limited parking so we parked across the street and paid by app. The hotel concierge was friendly and gave us two complimentary drinks at the Sky bar upstairs, which is a packed party scene at night and very quiet for breakfast in the morning. Reserve a table so you can take in the view of the ocean and Harpa lit up at night! The bedroom layout is good for two people. The bathroom and bath products were very nice. Looks just like their photos
