The location is convenient I found it to be near shops and restaurants. The breakfast selection was excellent there were both American and Icelandic options. The staff was friendly and helpful they answered all my questions.
The room lacked ventilation it became hot. Rooms facing the street experienced noise late into the night. Blackout curtains were insufficient I could not block out the long hours of daylight.
