it was ok, i guess
poor soundproofinglimited breakfast
honestly, the soundproofing was terrible. i could hear everything happening upstairs, and i mean everything. also, the 'free' breakfast was just some cereal and instant coffee. i expected slightly more considering what i paid.

central apartment upgrade
free upgradecentral locationfriendly staffobvious stain
I booked a room but i got a free upgrade to an apartment. the apartment's central location was amazing. I was very happy about it. self check in was perfect. the staff was great and friendly, and they were ready to help.
The facilities seemed lacking, i must say. the bathroom looked old. Part of the door frame was breaking off. i noticed a large brown stain and a smaller white stain on the sofa in the room, it should be replaced.

The hotel is very close to hallgrímskirkja church, only a few steps away. It is literally in front of it. you can walk everywhere in town from there. bus service from the airport to bsi station is efficient.
