Location was great, 5 to 10 min walk to most things. Great rooms, quiet location as well. Did not like the parking. Parking in Reykjavik is a pain in general, but hotel has different locations from where you check in. Trying to find parking to check inis difficult. Then trying to find a spot to park near your room is difficult, but then to park cheaply for the night its a couple blocks away, about a 5 min walk.

We had the breakfast included. We didn't know how exactly worked because all the reviews were lacking of details. So, basically in the afternoon they bring you a basket with: 2 hard boil eggs, 2 slices of bread, 2 slices of ham and 4 slices of cheese. Every day they bring different fruits (2 apples, other day 1 banana -us being 2 people-, other day 2 kiwis, other day some grapes, some oranges, ect...). They also bring you nutella, butter, different jams and 2 different flavors yogurts. Every day at 8:00 am, they deliver a sour dough bread and leave it in your door. We were there for a whole week and some days we didn't even open the bag. It was too much bread! They also leave an apple juice and whole milk. There were some tea bags but no coffee nor coffee maker anywhere. So we had to go out every day just to buy coffee. The basket wss great for the first 2 maybe 3 days, but after that it's just boring eating the same food every single day.

Because it is close to nearby things, the street sometimes was loud. Parking is on street, or parking garage. Only issue with the room, we had a corner room and shower head was handheld and at waist level. Not sure if all showers are like this one.

My family stayed at the “printing press” building that’s part of the residence hotel. It was perfect for the 6 of us and allowed us plenty of space while still being able to all be in one room. Parking was on the street and easy to navigate. The hotel receptionist was super friendly, helpful, and informative! We wish we could’ve stayed longer, we had no complaints! Our room was in great shape and had a pull out coach that was already set up for us when we arrived. Everything was also clean and in good condition! Highly recommend!

The two bedroom apartment we stayed was spacious, clean and has beautiful snowy mountains and ocean view! The staff is friendly and helpful.

The receptionist was very polite and helpful. She pointed imus in the right direction for parking as it can be complicated. The hotel was difficult to find because google maps kept taking me in the wrong the direction. Other than that everything was great. The room was impeccable, the beds extremely comfortable and big. The kitchenette was well equipped. I would definitely book again! The hotel is new and there is some construction outside. It is close to everything!
