Reviews
We enjoyed 4 nights here, great location, spa and food, the staff are amazing.
We missed our flight home due to me miss reading the times, the staff went above and beyond in helping us stay another night with them, booking the fly bus to the airport and reassuring us they would do all they could to help us, which help settle our anxiety and stress.
We would definitely stay here again if we ever return.
10/10 *
I stayed for 4 nights. The first two nights were fine, but on the third night, things went south – I started getting bitten by bugs in the room, resulting in red spots all over my body. This wasn't just me being sensitive; these were clearly visible bites that required photographic evidence (which I did take, of both the spots and the bugs).
What's even more outrageous is that this wasn't an isolated incident. I later found out that previous guests had reported similar issues, indicating that the hotel has a long-standing problem with hygiene and pest control, rather than a one-off accident.
After the incident, the hotel's solution was to arrange a room change. The problem is, what had to happen already happened. The room change felt more like going through the motions than actually solving the issue.
Due to hygiene concerns, I personally disposed of some of my clothes and shoes, essentially paying extra for this stay.
To summarize:
* The room has a pest problem.
* Hygiene management is questionable (and seemingly a long-term issue).
* The response was delayed and inadequate.
* The guest had to bear the additional costs themselves.
If you're just looking for a place to sleep, you might gamble on it; but if you don't want to use your body as a test subject, I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel.
After an overnight flight from Baltimore, arriving early in the morning, we were so grateful to be welcomed into a clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained hotel right in the heart of Reykjavík. The property itself is modern and spotless, but what truly stood out was the staff. Every single person we encountered — from the breakfast team to the front desk — went above and beyond to ensure we felt cared for.
The included breakfast was wonderful each morning, with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The front desk staff were consistently helpful with recommendations, directions, and answering every question we had with warmth and professionalism.
And the highlight? We were able to witness the Northern Lights from our balcony. It was absolutely magical — a moment we will never forget.
Thank you for helping make our Iceland adventure so memorable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reykjavík

-very good pizza, easily comparable to just about any expectation
-service upstairs friendly, but can be a bit slow when busy, which is understandable. We didn't have to wait for seating.
-medium sized is good for dinner, perhaps small. We mistakenly got a large & a medium after ordering two mediums and had enough for another dinner the next night. Take away box provided and we weren't charged extra for the large.
-typical prices for this area
-credit cards accepted
-didn't ask about wifi
-parking wasn't an issue since we walked

The service was pretty good compared to other restaurants I visited in Iceland.
Nothing about my experience was bad, but this isn't a *MUST GO* restaurant for tourists in Iceland.
