Room With A View Apartments

Hard to find but a great place to stay

Our group (7 family members) arrived at the hotel at 8:30pm and I was told that my fully-paid, non-refundable suite was already occupied by another group of guests. Ultimately two other suites could be arranged for us but it was just pure luck for the availability. I could not imagine how awful it would be for me to find another accommodation for 7 family members at 8:30pm Saturday while standing in the most busiest street in the city. In one of the suite the drain in the shower was clogged up, and to be fair both suites were clean. As others also mentioned in their reviews, the hotel is located at the busiest street, bars are just down stairs and it was super noisy through out the night, avoid this hotel if you are sensitive to noise otherwise you will not able to sleep at all.

Advertised as luxury, i would say it was far from it. it wasnt bad but it was not a 4 Star Luxury. Location was awesome, it looked like it was in the middle of a renovation to make it 4 star but were selling before they had done it. The room was tiny, no drink making facilities in the room which is a first, you had to walk down to the front desk to get a tea or coffee but they never had milk the whole 4 days we were there. Shower was the nicest thing there, nice big rainfall shower head. things just seemed like they had been done cheap to look pricey, like plastic moldings around the doors instead of wood. fire doors propped open with fire extinguishers, wifi in our room was terrible, 1 bar if you were lucky. carpets in the halls were cheap and stained, walls were badly painted with the paint all over the skirting boards, stairs were all chipped away. they didnt have a king queen size quilt/comforter so they just laid 2 singles sideways across the bed as if thats the same thing. i wouldnt recommend unless you get it on a good deal.

Hotel is great. Clean and Comfortable. Walking distance from the Hallgrimskirkja. Staff were nice. Only drawback was only street parking available. Found a parking lot a block away. It was kinda hard the find the property but two locals found us wandering with our suitcases and helped us out. I would stay here again.
