The hotel is lovely. The breakfast is excellent. The location is unbeatable. The staff was kind, courteous and informative.

The hotel was nicely located in a central area making it safe and easy to walk to shop or eat. The free breakfast was amazing and had some of the best food we had on our trip. There was a new bartender (young gentleman whose name I can’t remember) that was super friendly, gave us wonderful referrals for close by attractions and made our stay even better.

Hotel is in a great location and has breakfast! Rooms were nice and clean. Only downfall was probably the parking situation, I’d definitely pull up and unload and park at the garage a few blocks down, other than that loved it!

This was the most AMAZING hotel. Great room, perfect location and the MOST COMFORTABLE BED!!! My ONLY complaint is I only got to stay there one night. Would be worth going back to Iceland just to stay in the hotel again
