Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel offers decent-sized rooms with comfy beds and good showers, always spotless thanks to the great housekeeping service. While the service was professional and friendly, it lacked a more welcoming touch. The location is perfect, central and within easy walking distance to main attractions, yet some noise issues affected the sleep quality. Dining was varied and delicious at 'Jaimes. '
The hotel had both positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a nice view over the city, but the stay was marred by disruptive noises in the spa area, leading to a poor night's sleep. The location was convenient, close to historical sites but not too noisy. The service was a mix of pleasant interactions and some lack of experience. The dining options were good but at an extra cost. Facilities were generally satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was really spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything I needed like a Nespresso machine, wireless speaker, and a large TV. However, I did notice that the room got warm from the sun and that its facilities felt a bit dated. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful, even offering to call a pharmacy for me. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Reykjavik downtown, just steps away from many shops and restaurants. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing, with limited options. Overall, a great stay!
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms at the back, ideal for a quieter stay. The rooms are attractive and clean with great amenities like a Smart TV for entertainment; however, the spa lounging area may disrupt relaxation with unexpected noise disturbances, affecting the quality of sleep.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were lovely, spotlessly clean, and provided the relaxation I needed. However, being close to the bar and chamber maid's office made it noisy at times. The service was fantastic in terms of answering queries on the phone, but it lacked information on hotel events. The location was convenient for exploring the city but came with an unexpected noisy night. The dining experience at Jamie's kitchen was satisfying, offering a buffet style option, even though the scrambled eggs were just okay. Overall, the hotel is quite expensive but provides a very nice base to explore Iceland.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had a lovely balcony overlooking the square, though slightly on the smaller side. The room itself was spacious, warm, and packed with all the amenities you could wish for, including a Nespresso machine, wireless speaker, and a well-stocked mini bar. The only drawback was the sloping ceiling by the bed that made it a bit cramped.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had a great view of the Icelandic Parliamentary House and the National Park, but they had a horrible smell initially, and there were some issues with bathroom space. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff guiding us through booking tours and recommending local spots. Although the location was central and convenient for exploring, some aspects of the room's comfort were lacking. The dining options were hit or miss, with some positives and negatives. Overall, the hotel delivered a decent stay with room for improvement.
