My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was really big and had a sink and a big couch, which was nice so that I don't have to sit on my bed all the time. However, the doors always slam shut, so it can get a bit noisy. The room itself was super comfortable and clean with a view of the water and mountains, but it's in this open space where you can hear every move from other rooms.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and slight inconveniences. The rooms were warm, spacious, and clean, offering a cozy sofa to relax, but there was a persistent mysterious humidity/smell that triggered my allergies. While the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, aiding me even when my flight was delayed, the dining experience, while delicious, came at a higher cost compared to standard options. The location was prime, with easy access to various attractions, yet the lack of included breakfast was a minor downer.

The hotel room was comfy and spacious, allowing for a relaxing stay. However, the lack of windows made the room feel stuffy at times, especially with all the bunk beds closely connected, which made it hard to sleep peacefully due to the excess movement and noise from neighboring guests in the kitchen area. The full booking status on both nights limited privacy and comfort.

The hotel is ideally located at the center of Reykjavik's main street, offering great convenience for exploring the city. The rooms, although equipped with heavy curtains for light blockage, need improvement in cleanliness due to excessive dust. The service received was a mix of slow and unaccommodating along with some instances of helpfulness. The dining experience was decent with good options at a reasonable price. The location, despite some bathroom fixes needed, remains a prime spot for easy access to city attractions and tour pickups.

The hotel has excellent views from the terrace adjoining the room, but the room itself was smaller than expected with stuffy and smelly atmosphere.
