8/10 Very good

The hotel couldn’t be in a better location and is convenient for all parts of Reykjavík. The staff were excellent. So many little touches including the check in receptionist noticing that it was recently my birthday to coffee being laid out for those needing to leave the hotel before breakfast started. One thing we weren’t fans of was the bathroom. The glass wall and door afforded very little privacy which we found rather offputting. Overall, a good hotel which I would recommend

4/10 Fair

Great location but thats where it ends
Overall I would not recommend this hotel and I am honestly shocked that it gets such high reviews. This hotel has a fabulous location but that is about the only great thing about it. The staff at check in was nice and helped us to get a room early (I had reached out weeks prior and asked about this). She stated the room was ready but we couldn't go up for 10 minutes so we had to eat breakfast. We had been traveling and didn't care about breakfast but had no other choice. In less than 10 minutes our room was ready. We booked a deluxe room and there was nothing deluxe about it. Our view was the pipes and roof over another building. The bathroom was fully glass which was not clear from the photos. It is awkward to lay in bed and the wall next to you is someone on the toilet. The room was small and very cramped. The listing showed cable but not a single channel came in. The hallways are dark and you can hear every noise from the rooms around you. If this hotel wasn't so centrally located it would be a 2 star hotel at best with some modern decor. As I was checking out I asked for a receipt which could not be provided. A large group was checking in and advised that due to the weather warnings their rooms had been given away. 16 people were standing there with no where to go and it was quickly obvious that this is a regular occurrence. I worked front desk at a hotel prior and the way the staff handled this situation was far from professional.

Probably won't stay again
I normally stay at Kea Apotek but tried this one. I found the bed setup uncomfortable with the leather pillows. The shower was designed weird. The room was either way too hot or too cold. Breakfast was super busy and the layout was awkward. The safe was way up high. It just felt like whoever designed it didn't think about functionality.

Great location, free breakfast, no parking, just metered street parking but street parking at Hallgrimskirkja is free, about 10 min walk from the hotel
Stacy K, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terribly disappointing and substandard. Several issues raised and none resolved. An example was being in Iceland in December, heating in your room is rather important, one bedroom radiator didn’t work and the other one whistled very loudly constantly. Receptions attempt to resolve this was to downgrade our room from a Junior Suite to a standard room but offered no finance reimbursement for the downgrade. When we told them this was unacceptable they promised to get Maintenance to investigate which they might have done whilst we were out but they certainly didn’t achieve anything.

Great location. Mediocre hotel.
Hotel is in a great location. Although the lobby is decorated well the rooms are a little worn. Plastic shower curtain did not stop water going over room. TV did not work. Iron was provided and good selection of toiletries. Spa access is an additional cost. This is not clear when booking through hotels.com. First receptionist was condescending and rude and stated that we would not expect laundry to be done for free so why would we expect access to the pool to be free. The cost for the size of spa and facilities is high. Basic gym and small pool and sauna. Second receptionist when we went back to ask of cost, let us have access for free due to confusion.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay here was amazing! I was really impressed - the service was great, we were able to request a twin room instead of double, and they stored our luggage while we killed time before check-in. The room itself was spacious enough for two. It was really just a place to sleep after long days traveling around the island, and we did not find noise to be an issue. The ear plugs were helpful anyway. Shower was great - solid water pressure. Nice to have tap water for filling my water bottle. Plenty of space to spread out our belongings. We made tea many times and used the mini fridge to store some of our groceries like skyr and sandwich ingredients and milk for tea. The highlight was the breakfast - there was such a variety that really exceeded my expectations. I was expecting an airport lounge-type breakfast buffet, but here there were baked beans, hash browns, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, cottage cheese, chia pudding, muesli, oatmeal, fresh fruit - even cod oil for your morning beverage. The highlight for us were the flapjacks as part of the array of fresh pastries - we ate so many each morning, they were SO delicious! Overall, 10/10. Really wonderful experience for the price. I don't have a single complaint.

Great hotel in downtown. Friendly staff and good amenities. Tons of shopping and dining options. Parking is only available on the streets and being located in downtown it’s difficult to find a spot during peak hours.
