“In my opinion, this property places you well to explore Reykjavik, yet some aspects don't fully deliver on the promise of a 5-star experience. While the location and dining options are appealing, be prepared for potential drawbacks like noise and service inconsistencies; budget-conscious travelers may find better value elsewhere.”

superb location valet parking rooftop bar breakfast schedule rude staff lack notice
The location is superb. it is next to the concert hall and easily walkable to many spots downtown. the valet parking was definitely a great convenience for me. the rooftop bar was also a plus. I appreciated having a place for a drink after a long day.
The breakfast schedule was not respected on one occasion. staff asked me to leave because they needed to set up for lunch. I had not finished eating. there was also a lack of prior notice when the breakfast time was changed the next day.
