Check in was troublesome. I had requested early check in (with additional fee), but when i arrived at 10 am, it was not available. Ok understandable. Came back at 1pm still not available so I informed clerk I would wait in lobby. I was only person waiting in lobby, so I assumed when it would become available, I would be notified. But at 2 o’clock, I got up and asked her to check and lo and behold. It was already available. I was so disappointed that she didn’t let me know. Believe me hotel was not busy T the time, so I found it very disappointing.

Location great. Staff were great. Room was fine. Breakfast ok but not great. A bit noisy (alarm went off around midnight but then stopped, also lots of people talking loudly in corridors late at night.). Hot tub/spa was at extra cost - not very clear when booking.

This hotel was literally perfect in terms of location. Right across from Harpa bus stop #5. Walking distance to all of downtown and has a beautiful sea view. Room was very clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok. Didn’t have a chance to visit the sky bar or the spa. 10/10 will stay again in the future.

Amazing place to stay

We loved every bit of our stay at this hotel. From check-in to check-out, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room itself was quite spacious. The hotel has a few free parking spots just behind the building on a first-come first-serve basis which was a plus! The location of the hotel is unbeatable, right in the center of everything and you can walk everywhere. The hotel also offers a hot tub and sauna for an additional cost but it is so worth it, especially after a long day out, you can get in there and relax! I stayed there with an infant and it was amazing. Overall a great experience!

The location was very convenient for us as it was just across the road from where our cruise ship disembarked. If you use the airport shuttle, the stop is just across the street too. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable.
