Seriously. It's like entering a mine. Maybe dim-lit spaces are the new thing, and I just don't appreciate it. But you'll need a flashlight as you enter the lobby and seek out the reception desk!

Darkest hotel you'll ever set foot into. The entrances, and there are two, are almost like closely-guarded secrets and you can't be faulted if you miss them as you walk by outside.

We stayed one night in August, post-cruise and ahead of our flight out the following day. Efficient check-in with no line. Staff booked us a taxi to get us to the central bus station and also handled the purchase of bus tickets. (Airport taxis are ridiculous in cost and the bus was a sensible, efficient way to the to the airport.)

Hotel has a nice bar. There's a thermal spa in the basement. And our room was comfortable.

Unfortunately, the room thermostat wasn't working, or we couldn't get it to work, so it was a very hot night. We opened the windows to cool things down, but on a Saturday night there was a lot of late-night street noise.

Shower was nice. Toilet was tiny.

The room was very, very expensive by American standards. And that is a familiar story throughout Reykjavik for anything, be it a cup of coffee, meals, clothing, souvenirs or excursions.

The hotel location is great. Walking distance to shops, plenty of restaurants, Rainbow Street and about a 15-minute walk to the landmark Hallgrimskirkja Church.

Next time I'm in town I'll likely try somewhere else but can't fault the location or room quality.

Best location, breakfast, staff, and bathrooms! This felt like a boutique hotel though associated with Hilton. Its nestled right downtown near great restaurants, pubs, museums, famous hot dog stand right outside, and near the main marina too. The room was large, and comfortable and was the nicest of all the places we stayed. Highly recommend it to anyone coming to Reykjavik. We can't wait to return
