The hotel's location is convenient for dining, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. However, there is no parking available, and the staff were unhelpful when I needed to make phone calls. Additionally, there is no dedicated loading zone, and the surrounding area feels a bit rundown with slightly noisy streets.

Great stay pre-cruise. Excellent property, beautifully appointed. Was just a short walk to our cruise port and to the Harpa concert hall. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of dining and drinking options within a short walk and an excellent restaurant in-house

Parking was not included and instructions given for the nearest over-night parking options was not clear. Comforter had (someone else's) makeup on it; had to ask twice for it to be changed. Housekeeping woke us up (dnd sign wasn't on the door handle, but we also hadn't checked out yet). Elevator had a funky odor. Best part about this hotel is the location! Close to dining, shopping, tourist sites, etc.

Nice place, clean and comfortable. Centrally located downtown. No parking on site, although we found a paid parking garage nearby. One thing I loved about our weeklong stay in Iceland was the inclusive breakfasts everywhere we stayed. This hotel did not offer that, but they did have food on site and nearby available for purchase,

Great location - walkable to everything. Large rooms and great shower. Parking is a challenge only due to one way streets. Hotel only provides drip coffee with full paid breakfast, but coffee shop attached to lobby is good (small portions & pricey). Would stay again - good value for price.

The hotel room was very clean, spacious and the bed very comfortable. Staff was welcoming and courteous. We are active seniors in our late 70s-80 and thought the bath was dangerous. The side of the tub is very high, the bottom very slippery and the shower sprays enough to make the floor wet. There is one safety handle near the faucet but none to aid you as you enter or exit the tub. Other than the safety of the bath we were pleased with everything else.

My mirrors wee dirty, my sheets were soiled; and, when asking to replace them to allow for a hygienic sleep, I was met with inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. I had a VIP booking but didn’t receive the upgrade to my knowledge, and I was unrested before flying. It made for an experience that will make me very unlikely to return to this hotel for anything other than Brut. Will be speak with management at a later time, but I must catch my flight.

Nous avons choisi la chaîne radisson blu car nous avons déjà séjourné dans leur hôtel et n’avions jamais été déçu. Nous séjournons dans la chambre 320 qui est très bien (équipements etc…) mais a un gros problème de remontée d’odeur via la canalisation. Nous avons informé la réception qui nous informe ne rien pourvoir faire… (changer de chambre aurait été un début mais soit…) Nous sommes très déçus car cela cache notre séjour.

The room was clean however the bathroom really smelt badly of “drain”. The bed was comfortable and the area was generally quiet. The breakfast was very crowded with little room to manoeuvre. The hot food was lukewarm at best with the bacon being totally undercooked on the first morning and overcooked on the second morning. The bread I felt like eating on the second morning of my stay was still frozen on the inside, so I gave that a miss.

Lovely hotel but in the city with noise on the street until 3:30am on a Friday night but maybe due to a festival weekend that has complicated our stay with parking required outside of downtown. We will need to walk a distance to the car with our bags. Room is tight with layout snd beautiful high tub is dangerous for our age. Will need to ask for handicapped room in future😊

There are many options in Reykjavik and this is a definite pass. It is noisiest hotel I have stayed in. When I mentioned something to the desk, their response was. “It is in the city.” I have stayed hotels in NYC, London, Paris, etc that were in the middle of the city and they were quiet compared to this place. Never again!!

I was first given a room with a slanted roof - so that I could not stand up straight in half of the room - with two big skylights - one over the bed. I requested and was given a room change. Also - I was not notified when I made the reservation that all dining facilities were closed for renovation. The breakfast room was freezing cold the first as the heat had not been turned on. Staff were very courteous, but I was not impressed with the organization. I would not recommend the hotel based on my experience.

The hotel is at best a 3 star. Rooms were not cleaned. Room was an attic. Location was great. Bed was ok, just couldn't stand up when getting out of one side because it was an attic with slanted ceiling. Staff was both good and bad. Three of the receptionists encountered were helpful and courteous, a fourth was not helpful at all. Would not stay here again.

We stayed at this property for 6 nights. It is conveniently located for anyone visiting Reykjavik. The property was very inconsistent with its lobby coffee service. It was not always available when its coffee shop was closed so if you had early morning activities you were sometimes out of luck. The rooms had no facial tissues or washcloths and the toilet paper was cheap. Some days the front desk help was downright rude and not helpful while other days they were great.

This is a nice hotel in a quiet location. The closest bus stop (which tours and airport shuttles use for pick up and drop off) is about 4 blocks away. It seems to be used for a lot of tour groups who ascend on the breakfast buffet like a bunch of vultures. If you are unfortunate enough to arrive after them, there is little left for you.

The breakfast is worth mentioning first. It's a full spread, I'm never going to forget that breakfast. Room was lovely. Really great soaking tub. There is an extra button that can take the water temp over 40 degrees Celsius...which is awesome for refreshers...but be careful it comes out scalding hot. The button makes it safe but still good to know. The location is primo. So many food and bar options. This is the area where the people are.

The only downside is the television service... channels cut in and out constantly and some channels are not available from day to day.
