觀景飯店(Midtown Hotel)

The hotel’s location was very nice, near to everywhere. But, the water is a bit smelly.

The location of the hotel is great. There is a great bar downstairs that supposedly has live music every night. The hotel is very safe, a password is required to enter at night. The hotel staff are nice and the rooms are clean.

Iliked the room, and found the neighborhood very enjoyable in every way. My one problem was the ramp that joined one part of the building with another. I tripoed late in the evening because there was no warning or lighting of the ramp. I’m 80 and fell up at the ramp - the ramp blended too well with the carpeting. However, 2 hotel guests helped me up very sweetly and I was able to continue my visit.

Quartos muito bem localizados na Rua mais badaladinha de Reykjavik, ótima localização. Não recomendaria reservar de última hora como eu fiz se não falar um ótimo inglês ou pode passar por apuros. Mas o local é muito bom e bem localizado, voltaria com certeza.

The hotel is located on the main shopping street. Super convenient. Easy to walk anywhere you want to check out. The room is nice and neat. The deco actually looks better than the photos. I would have given 5 stars if not for the noise we heard on the second (the last) night staying there. The band in the next pub was very loud. And it didn't stop playing until nearly 6 in the morning. Our room seems to be right on top of the pub without much sound proof at all. We didn't sleep well much.

The good - there couldn’t be a better location. This is right in the center of the tourist area. Many shops, restaurants, and the famous “rainbow street”. Beds are comfortable, a nespresso maker with pods in the room. The bad - It was not made clear when I booked this hotel that it is fully self-serve. There is not a receptionist, or any staff there. I was emailed a code to get into the hotel and another code for the room. There was a group of elderly women who had been just sitting in the lobby for hours, unsure of what to do. The luggage storage is unsecured and unattended, which made me nervous. If you need two beds instead of one, email them ahead of time because you will not see an employee. There is no deadbolt or way to secure the room door from the inside. As two young women in a foreign country, this made us nervous. We pushed a chair against the door so at least we would wake up if someone entered. The very bad - there is a live band in the bar on floor one. Every night. Our room was on floor two, exactly above the band. They started playing at 8pm and stopped at exactly 11pm, and it sounded like they were playing inside of our room it was so loud. If you plan to be out and about until 11 or later, this isn’t a problem. However, if you are exhausted from a long flight and haven’t slept in over 24 hours, it will be torture. Even with ear plugs it was loud. The band was quite good though, and played a wide variety of songs.
