This is right in the middle of the hot area of Reykavik. The only negative i guess for some is noise but I found it ended by 11pm and was quiet. Didn’t even hear my neighbors. The European style breakfast is a nice spread with different condiments and creams and breads and danish. Good selection and staffed well.

The staff was exceptionally nice. The breakfast was in the largest breakfast rooms we've ever seen and had a wide variety. Everything was good except for the television. It failed in several ways. Also the shower water leaks under the door and gets on the floor of the bathroom . We were in room 608
