Independent Report
locationThis hotel is situated just off Reykjavik's main shopping street Laugarvegur in a narrow side street. It is for the most part a peaceful location, but can be a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights.
roomsThe rooms vary in size, with a few that are large. All rooms are non-smoking. Designed by a Los Angeles based Icelandic interior designer, Gulla J nsd ttir, they are decorated with stylish state-of-the-art furniture and predominantly black and white colour schemes, though many of the rooms and notably the bathrooms have bare rendered walls. Some of the rooms on the top floor have characterful sloping ceilings and dormer windows. They are in exceptional conditions as are the funky modern bathrooms.
restaurantThe hotel has a smart, stylish breakfast room on the ground floor.
exteriorHalf of this hotel is quite an old building by Reykjavik standards while the other half is brand new, blending together beautifully with an attractive white facade.
lobbyThe lobby like the rest of the hotel is chic, modern and stylish, a great example of Icelandic contemporary interior design.
generalThis well located and managed property is the newest of Reykjaviks new breed of boutique hotel. It comes highly recommended.
