Very comfy beds/linens wonderful. The breakfast in the hotel was delicious- very traditional Icelandic choices. The staff was always helpful and cheerful. The hotel has a great location; everything in walking distance. And don’t miss the fabulous bakery/cafe adjoining the hotel. Might be the best pastries and sandwiches in town.
