Nice spot from which to explore Reykjavik

Check-in quick and pleasant. Communal areas have quite a chic, boutique, feel. Room decor didn't quite match up style- wise, though everything was clean and seemed quite new. For me the room was over heated and the bed was waaaay too soft, but I realise this would leave others in heaven. All four coffee pods (well done on having totally compostable ones) were full caffeine, which is this reviewer's heaven but will not please everyone. Breakfast was well organised so while the buffet area is small there was a decent choice available without much queuing. Very good selection of breads, including, i think, a gluten free option. Some pastries. Yoghurt. Cheeses and cold cuts. Sliced tomato, cucumber, melon. Hard boiled eggs, juices. Basically as you would expect, or hope. I wasn't offered any coffee though, or asked if i would like one, which is especially odd as the (Costa branded) drinks menu on the table implied that this would be chargeable. That may not be the case, as the breakfast area doubles as a cafe during the day, but either way not to be asked felt strange. Overall, the hotel offers good value and a convenient location. I'm booked to return next weekend and don't feel that is a bad choice. I'll review that stay if I'm left with anything different to say.

Nice Hotel for short stay

This is a nice hotel in a great part of Reykjavik. The breakfast was excellent and I liked that they give you the option of whether you want housekeeping or not beforehand. The bed was way too soft and there was no noise protection at all. Every person walking by on the street outside was easily audible through the window :( but the room was clean and the staff were pleasant. It's a bit of a walk in the wintertime from the nearest bus stop but if you have a car it would be easy to get to.

Check-in was stressful. There is no parking or short term parking to unload luggage. Reception even told me we could get a ticket for unloading bags. Check in was below ground level (steps), therefore to bring bags they had to use an emergency exit. Only to use an elevator to the lobby, and when switch elevators to get back to the 2nd floor. Parking is a few blocks away. Street parking or parking garage. Street conditions (snow/ice) were terrible during our stay. So walking to/from the vehicle was challenging at times. Breakfast was disappointing. While it was included. It was only cold buffet. No hot items. Pastry items were stale. (Very unacceptable given the hotel bakery is attached) Hard boiled eggs did not peel easy.
