This hotel served as a perfect base for my trip to Reykjavik. The apartments were spacious and well-appointed, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was excellent, being close to many restaurants and key attractions, though the parking situation could be tricky. Overall, a delightful experience, but a few amenities in the room could be improved.
