Friendly staff Breakfast was great, having 24 hr access to coffee, tea and hot chocolate was a bonus Cons- no elevator so bringing large luggages to 3rd floor up and down - spiral stairs was difficult. I hope staff will offer services to bring your luggages to the room. Nice location and near eateries/attractions

훌륭한위치(할그림스키르캬 도보 10초, 터미널 도보10분, 각종 관광셔틀 버스 정류장도 가까움)도 최고이고, 조식도 괜찮았으며 시설도 만족스럽습니다. 무엇보다 최고일수 밖에 없는 이유는 프론트에 직원(마리코)이 너무 친절해서 적극 추천하고 싶습니다 그녀는 항상 도움을 주려고 노력했으며 어떤 요구에도 친절하게 적극적으로 응해주었습니다 마리코때문에라도 만점 주고 싶은 호텔이네요

The location was perfect: right by the big new church in the center of downtown. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was small but not tiny, and comfortable. Breakfast was a perfect deal, with tasty and healthful array of breads, fresh fruit, condiments, and yogurt. I would be happy to choose this hotel again in the future.

Great hotel in a great location. Very comfortable room and nice free breakfast. Coffee and water available all day in the cozy lounge area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything in the City Center is within easy walking distance for healthy adults. Access to public and tour busses is super close. The room with a view of Hallsgrmkirkja was worth the upgrade. Highly recommend.
