The pros: very clean, the staff were extremely friendly, helpful & the hotel itself was in good condition, a very comfy bed !

Excellent stay. We got upgraded to a Loft suite room, which it was a plus! Food were amazing on the Tides Restaurant, one of the best meals in Iceland. The only thing was the mattress of the bed, it was not very comfortable. But overall, the service 10/10!!! Will definitely come back.
