Definitely should have read the reviews about walking through the restaurant to get to the rooms on the 1st floor before booking, so that confused me initially. However, the restaurant is only open from 4-9pm. I only walked through a live restaurant once, which was weird. Being on the upper floors definitely would have been better. The outdoor door wouldn't open, at one point, for which we had to reach out to the property department. They arrived 40 minutes later and were able to resolve the issue. Wasn't great to stand in the cold for that long, however. Overall, the apartment-style room was clean and conveniently located inside downtown Reykjavik. Would stay again and request an upper-floor room.
