I stayed at a hotel that offered mismatching furniture in the rooms, but the view of the Hallgrimskirkja was phenomenal. The hotel's location was very central, providing easy access to the main attractions in Reykjavik. The dining experience was satisfying, especially with good vegan options. The service at the reception desk was excellent, but there were some issues with the service from other staff members.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location was superb, right opposite the stunning church and in the heart of Reykjavik. The rooms were cozy and clean, although the furniture didn't quite match. The service was top-notch, especially at the reception desk, and the vegan dining options were a delightful surprise. However, the lack of included Wi-Fi was a minor inconvenience.

I was thrilled with the view of the church right from my landing, but unfortunately, the room didn't have a fan, which made the hot weather less bearable. The location was superb, directly across from the beautiful Hallgrimskirkja church, and everything I needed was close by. The dining experience was satisfying, especially with the included good vegan options. Despite the minor discomfort with the fan, I had a great stay overall.
