My husband and I stayed in a Double Room with Balcony for 2 nights. When we landed that morning from Canada, we took the Flybus to a stop very close to the hotel. Even though it was hours before check-in time, we were pleased that we were able to get into our room instead of just dropping off our luggage. We freshened up a bit, then headed out to check out the city. The room was small, to be sure. We were only travelling with a backpack and a medium suitcase each. If you have a lot of/bigger luggage, you might have to step into your open suitcase to navigate this room. I think even though we didn't use the balcony (weather not ideal), it somehow made our space seem not as tight, so I am glad we had that. We had a harbour view, which is mostly of the dry dock but still nice as it was very quiet on that side. We slept well, and the location was ideal to walk to many of the sites we wanted to see: the Maritime Museum, our e-bike rental, and the typical go-to places. Breakfast had varied options and was good. The small room and high price were worth it to have this excellent location and good sleep.

Rooms are small compared to American hotels. Nice and clean. Nice staff. Good breakfast. Parking, not so good. No idea where you park a car if you had one. Boat yard right out front. Interesting to say the least. Easy walking to the center of town and many attractions close.

The hotel is nice and clean. Stuff is welcoming. However, due to construction, parking is no longer available, street metered parking is about $20 per day. No discounts from hotel for parking in the area, apologies were verbal only. Not sure if on site parking will ever be available, looks like the new construction project took over parking lot. Check with hotel before coming. Metered street parking was not hard to find. Our room on the first floor was much to be desired. Upper level of wide bunk bed is very high and can be dangerous for small children. Windows are opaque and not very sound proof, we were able to hear people passing by and talking on the street. Bed mattress is way too soft.

I stayed here for a few nights pre cruise. Rooms: 4/5 perfect size for a solo traveler. The room was clean and basic. They cleaned the room daily and replaced the towels when necessary. Service: 4/5 - there's a restaurant attached to the hotel which I did't eat at. They had 2/1 dining nites on Mondays and Tuesdays. The entrance/lobby area is inviting in a modern contemporary setting. The staff was kind in letting me borrow the plug adapter. There's a small snack & drinks station near the reception to by snacks/drinks. Location: good location. You're about 10 minutes walk from Bus Stop #4 where all the tour pickups are. You're also close to where the whale watching tours are. The shopping street - Laugavegur is about a 15 minute walk. They are a few good restaurants nearby - Ramen Momo, DEIG workshop (bagel place), Le Kock. I would stay here again.

We stayed here for six nights on a British Airways holiday and can't imagine a better location in this major port city. The view from our room was of a working shipyard with two fishing boats being refurbished on the slipways. The maritime museum and four or five popular restaurants and a few cafés were nearby. The reception staff were endlessly patient, kind and efficient. The building looks more like an Arctic research station than a hotel but has real character inside with a brilliant library, excellent signage and original wood sculptures, pictures and seafaring antiques. There's a classy bar with classic Icelandic food and a not quite big enough breakfast area at the busiest times. We'd very happily stay there again.

Great reception! We stayed 4 nights. The staff on reception were all very friendly and helpful (including helping us book two excursions — Puffin watching on a boat with Elding, and a 10-hour small bus tour of the South Coast with East West — both were fantastic). The highlight on reception was the wonderful marmalade cat, who greeted us each day (or at least let us pet him when he was dozing on his sheepskin rug). Do upgrade to a room with a balcony overlooking the harbour. We were in a 3rd floor deluxe room with balcony the views were great: we enjoyed watching large ships dock and depart, cranes working…. And also lovely sunrises. Tip: if using the Flybus, Stop #4 is best.

Located next to the waterfront and only a short walk to the center of town where most of the attractions are, I found it to be a lovely hotel. I stayed there for one night only. My single room was very small. There was very little leg room between the bed and the wall. I managed but it was tight. A larger person might have to be creative accessing their bed from the side. The staff were warm and receptive. My reservation didn’t include breakfast, so I purchased it the next day at the start of breakfast. The food was good. It is a short walk to the #17 Flybus stop.

We were booked with the Hilton Nordica but the location changed hands and we were relocated to this marina hotel. In the nordica we were meant to have a scenic, large family room with 2 beds. Arriving at the marina hotel there was one bed. I will say our first interaction with the receptionist was good and she was very quick to come up and separate the one bed into two for us immediately. The room looked onto the port, or rather a gear shed. The lights stay on all night. There was filming one night with a spotlight pointed directly in our window. The room was clean, the beds are mediocre. No wardrobe or closet. It is functional and clean, don't expect luxury. We were able to faintly see the northern lights one night but with the port being so bright we were very lucky on that night. After our first night we actively avoided the attached resturaunt and bar. The steak we ordered seemed boiled the fish was mushy and it took multiple attempts to find a server to try and order. When requesting a late checkout the staff on duty said we could wait until the morning to see our situation and if they could allow late check out. Many of our interactions with staff felt very dismissive and unhelpful. The breakfast is very mediocre protein options are sliced boiled eggs, baked eggs, bacon, and sausages. Of note for breakfast, staff do not clear silverware from tables that have been used unless they look like they have been used. We watched them clear one set of silverware and leave another even when a person had been sitting in the spot and touching and moving the silverware. Tldr: good central location, clean enough, no bugs, bright lights, poor hospitality, mediocre beds.
