I stayed in a hotel that was partially underground, facing the sidewalk, which was not ideal but saved me money on dining out all the time. The location was fantastic for exploring the main street Laugavegur and other attractions, with easy access to restaurants, bars, and shops. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff making my vacation experience even better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Reykjavik, but the low ceilings in the room made it a bit uncomfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the dining, although just basic, provided a traditional touch. The facilities were good overall.

The apartment had a delightful studio vibe and was incredibly clean and comfortable, although it would be perfect if they provided larger cups or mugs for beverages. The staff were highly knowledgeable about the area, although there was a slight confusion with directions. The location is ideal, just a couple of streets away from all the shops, restaurants, and pubs. The dining experience was average, with a basic breakfast option available for an extra cost.

Staying on the ground floor was fabulous as it allowed us to have breakfast and store extra food we bought for our day trips. The room was equipped with basic kitchen facilities, providing everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The service was amazingly helpful, with the staff even borrowing us a USB cable so I could finally charge my power bank after a three-day trip. The location is excellent, just a couple of minutes' walk to the main attractions and very near bus stops, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience, although in the room, was tasty but a bit overpriced, considering it was just a basket picked up at reception. The facilities were sufficient for our needs, and overall, it was a great stay.
