“This hotel strikes me as a streamlined choice in a busy city, conveniently located near key transport links and a short walk from both quiet local spots and more bustling tourist areas; plus, the beer garden promises a taste of Iceland's local brews. For a functional base with practical amenities like readily available bar snacks and an efficient, helpful staff, it seems a solid option in Reykjavik. It is a mainstream hotel.”
