The hotel offers modern and clean rooms, although a bit small for the price, with the added bonus of access to the roof sauna. The spacious room layout is nicely arranged to cater to both business and leisure travelers. The location is excellent, situated right on the main downtown pedestrian street. Dining options were varied, with the attached Sumac restaurant standing out for its fabulous food. Overall, a great stay with some minor room size considerations.

My stay at the hotel was just perfect for me alone, with absolutely amazing rooms but probably a bit small for two people. The service was the best - so welcoming and friendly. The location is right in the center of Reykjavík's shopping district. The dining was great at the attached Sumac restaurant, just make sure to book in advance for a fabulous meal!

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms felt luxurious and had great views, but they were smaller than expected for the price. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. Although the location was in the middle of a vibrant street, the noise levels on weekends were high. The dining options were below expectations, with limited offerings, but the attached Sumac restaurant stood out for its fabulous food.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy with a nice view and great amenities, but stocking only alcohol for cold beverages was a bit inconvenient. The staff was the best - so welcoming and friendly, truly making my experience special. The location right on the main downtown pedestrian street was unbeatable, though I was a bit concerned about potential noise. The dining offered only limited options for breakfast, but the attached restaurant provided a fabulous dining experience. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.
