Overall this little hotel was perfect for our last couple of days in Iceland. The location is close to many necessities if you’re needing to travel by foot like I was. And it’s right next to the ocean. It was cute and quaint. The staff there were helpful and just a phone call away any time we needed them.

It was definitely a luxury experience unlike most stays I've ever done, 10/10 no notes on the hotel itself, the staff and amenities were bespoke. Breakfast was custom made to my liking and brought on a cart in the morning at a time of my choosing. Unbelievably good food and the lady working the desk was very charming. Word of caution, however: it is the highest up apartment in the entire city, maybe the entire country and the hotel is limited to the private access top floor of a new skyscraper of mostly corporate offices. At night, it was likely that my (city facing/partial ocean view) hotel room was the only one lit up in the tower and since the walls --including the bathroom-- are all glass, everything inside rather stands out and there no real privacy without curtains drawn. At some point, shortly after returning back at around midnight, someone somewhere in the city who noticed my arrival to the hotel room started blasting the apartment with a high powered laser pointer until I closed the curtains. That aside, it was a remarkably nice stay, the only concern is that its wildly ostentatious for better or for worse and maybe the locals aren't too pleased with that haha. I would stay here again.

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you! Loved the 3 ring binder visual book of how to use all of the apartment appliances!!! Great team members! ❤️

Really cool atmosphere and a good location just out side of the main city. Only issue was the sheets and pillows were dirty.

Very Disappointing Experience We were extremely disappointed with this hotel. We had a sudden change in our travel plans and gave them plenty of notice. We understand cancellation policies, but travel in Iceland can be unpredictable—weather, road conditions, and family matters can all change plans unexpectedly. We spoke with both our travel agent and the hotel owner, hoping they would work with us. Unfortunately, there was zero flexibility—not even a partial refund. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of understanding or willingness to find a compromise. We weren’t asking for special treatment; we simply hoped they would meet us halfway. There are plenty of other hotels in Iceland with more flexible policies and much better customer service, so I would strongly recommend looking carefully at cancellation policies before booking. If you choose a non-refundable property, get travel insurance—because if your plans change, this hotel may offer you no flexibility whatsoever. Unfortunately, we will not be returning or recommending this hotel.

Emma at the front desk went well above to make sure we enjoyed our stay. She made sure our room was well away from the large tour groups also using the facility. Indeed, we hardly noticed the other guests. She also made sure our spa and massage reservations were correct, even changing one to accomodate our changing schedule.. On another day, I stopped to ask where to find an odd size coin battery and the receptnist turned in her seat and said, "you mean like this?" And handed me the correct battery, she then declined to charge me for it. It didn't stop there as the bar, restaurant and housekeeping staff all went above and beyond to be helpful. The spa facilities were very relaxing with two separate hot tubs, a sauna and first class massage therapy services. Tour busses have difficulty navigating the narrow city streets, so there is an organized tour bus stop, #17, a very short walk away, in front of the Maratime Museum, a gateway to the wonders of the far north country. In summary, highly recommended.

Thank you! Super easy check in ❤️
