"The proximity to downtown was great. The room although getting tired looking was clean. We found the staff both at check in and check out extremely accommodating. The one issue I had was breakfast was definitely not worth the price. The choice and quality was good but it was not worth 100.00 Canadian for two!"

"Very quiet area of town outside Reykjavik. Hotel was clean and had plenty of amenities. Only scary part was someone walking into our hotel room at 2am because the door wasn’t closed properly. Didn’t learn till after that you have to lift door for it to properly lock. Overall, was a nice stay"
