Extremely outdated and small room. Good location. Breakfast was good but limited seating. Had to sit in the lobby to eat.

Clean & centrally located.
Short walk to shops, restaurants, sites, and water tours.
Good breakfast choices of local foods & those internationally familiar.
Just a bit worn around the edges but clean and comfortable.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff who, as one can expect from all in Iceland.
Yes, I would stay there again.

Our double room was spacious and clean. It had a water kettle and complimenary tea in the room.
The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices: best buffet we had in 8 hotels in Iceland.
We could park in front of the hotel (free 16:00 - 10:00).
Restaurants in the city center are within walking distance.
Due to the location there was traffic noise till night and in walking distance.
