The front desk worker (a young man who is Romanian work at 10 pm 8/20) is very friendly and helpful. He spent time to solve our problems beyond hotel regular service. Its a good experience in mankind.

It was a very safe, clean, and convenient location next to the airport. The hotel staff was minimally interested in us, but we didn't speak any Icelandic, so maybe that was the difference.

It was great for the location to the airport for our 13hr layover, however I wouldn't want to spend more that 1 night there. The beds were comfy, but the blankets on the bed are not big enough for 2 people in the doubles. Amenities are light, front desk staff isn't the friendliest or very helpful.

Over priced

It wasnt worth the price we paid for 1 night stay. There was no refrigerator. Just the 2 beds and a bathroom with towels. TV with a few channels. Nothing else.

The property was as advertised. Within walking distance of the airport terminal, it was a very clean well maintained albeit basic hotel. Restaurant facilities were limited, and it stood in isolation from other facilities.

Walking from airport to hotel was a lil challenging with 2 heavy bags (they should provide a shuttle service) but overall great place to stay.
