Lovely overall experience.

The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The general hotel design is beautiful and modern and the rooms are cozy and very clean, with comfortable beds and modern showers. My only point here would be that the rooms might need a bit of refreshing (like a new paint for the walls for example).

However, wonderful overall stay and delicious breakfast.

Would definitely come back ❤️

Great location. Walking distance to the Rainbow Road & the church. However, our room had a pretty bad smell from the sink/bathroom. Pretty noisy at night(til 2am) from the restaurant bar across the hotel.
28.02.2026 Parnia
As you enter the hotel you can obviously see that they are seeking for money. No kettle or spresso machine in the room (you have to pay around 20€ daily if you want them) , no water in the fridge at all , a list of the prices of all the products in the room ( such as blankets and condoms and some toothbrushes and etc.) hidden in the cabinet! Each hour of late checkout costs 50€ .

The room is nice and spacious but we had the sink in the middle of the room without any doors covering it! Literally in the middle of the room!

The staff are nice as well
15.02.2026 Sarah
Great location and helpful staff but the rooms have not been slept in by anyone running this hotel - and therefore aren’t well designed. No light switches or sockets by the bed (in fact only one set of sockets under the desk and the window on the floor so you have to properly get down on hands and knees!) other than that the toilet doesn’t have a proper door and the shower is just behind a glass panel so you can watch the person showering from the bed, great for a couple - less so if your friends travelling!
26.01.2026 Alan
The room, the staff (especially Abraham) , everything was perfect.
15.01.2026 Tom
We found our room to be typical of most European hotels. Minimalist, no storage, and no door on the bathroom. That means when you turn on the light to use the restroom in the middle of the night, it lights up the entire room. Tha room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
11.01.2026 Michael
The staff were great. They were helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The hotel is located within minutes of the majority of the places in downtown we wanted to visit so we didn’t need a car. The room size’s are small, but nice. I would recommend this place to friends if visiting the downtown area.
01.01.2026 Chirpy
Good location. Very clean with turn down service, spotlessly clean rooms. The rooms in the main building are small, the extension building rooms are larger. No amenities, tiny gym, tiny spa that tough to share with other guests. Towels were strangely tiny. Breakfast is very basic. Staff are friendly but they have odd rules like charging you for extra keys and misplaced keys (keys are plastic credit card style BTW nothing special!)
WiFi is good. Most rooms have a limited view but if you’re lucky to get a park facing room those are nicer.
01.10.2025 Sebray
Great stay
Loved the view, room was clean, plenty of towels; loved the products, amenities top notch: robs, slippers, mini bar/drinks, love kit, umbrella; full wall mirrors; pillows great; firm bed.
Convenient location- would definitely stay again/recommend
21.09.2025 Saul
We got the suite which was really well considered in terms of the layout. The design of the place was great, just the right amount formal and relaxed. It felt very peaceful being there. It's thoughtfully done.

A couple small quibbles: the room card keys deprogrammed easily, inconvenient. And if you take a bath there was no dedicated shampoo / conditioner / body soap so you had to walk over to the shower which had stationary containers of these. But everything worked so smoothly that those things felt like tiny details within a wonderful stay.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

My friends and I touring Iceland came here on a Sat night around 9pm. It was still early enough where they had an acoustic guitarist singing cover songs. It wasn't that busy and had available seating at the time. It was nice and chill and we got to sing along too! However sometime later they started taking away the tables and chairs and more and more and MORE people started pouring in! Young crowd too. We got super lucky bc a group of people left their booth table which ended up being right by the DJ. At this point the it was a packed club (which I didn't expect at all lol). As with any packed club, it was very hard to get drinks and to move anywhere in the bar, and there was a long line for the bathroom to which my friends also added that 2 chicks got in a fight (sounds kinda interesting actually). They played American Music the rest of the night and even with the negative aspects of busy clubs, I still had a grand time, but of course alcohol helps lol.
01.10.2017 RustlingMedusa
Top quality sound system, my wife and I heard the music (and revellers) extremely clearly in my hotel over 50 metres away and all night long to boot! The set was top notch with good flow and a good selection of various upbeat music, the sound system made it so clear I could "shazam" over 80% of the DJ's set!
What an experience!
11/10 would definitely not sleep again!
13.09.2017 Rohith
Don't even think of going there. The worst club I have ever been to. 200 people cramped in a place where it can hold maximum 50 People spilling beer all over the place, drunk fightings, I can go on and on.

Staff were bullies and assholes!
Bought drinks in the sports bar which was quite still at the time, and then got threatened with a beating by the bouncers if I didn't move over to the much louder club next door. That wasn't the place or atmosphere I signed up for. Stay clear!
31.12.2017 Chelsea
Went there during a non rush period (around 1430) and left after 30 minutes...our drink order hadn’t even been taken. My mom went up to the bar to try to place an order there and she said she’d send someone right over. We waited about 10 more minutes, during which the server blatantly ignored us, before we left. We got our fish and chips down the street at Drunken Rabbit— much better experience!
23.11.2017 Chris
Visited during dinner hours thirsty and hungry. Very disappointed with lacklustre service and staff that didn't seem terribly interested in being there. Food was disappointing. Only saving grace was that beer was cold. Would not recommend.
23.10.2017 Garry
Good. Enjoyed food with decent portions. Costs more than you would expect but this is iceland so not bad for here.
07.08.2017 Dennis
I thought the good was just OK. Fish and Chips is probably the best.
Service is slow and not very attentive. Not very aware of customer's needs, and sometimes feel like being ignored.
Feels pricy for the food served.

Maybe because this is a PUB, not a restaurant.

Overall, its still not a bad place to come to. But there are other places in the area that you can pay a little more to get much better food.
