Great breakfast" - "We picked this hotel because our flight home from Reykjavik to Isafjorður got cancelled. Staff was very helpful and they have really saved our day with their positive attitude as we were very upset getting 5-6 delays in a row, traveling with a baby. They provided us with a baby cot for free and provided us with all the things we needed so thanks to them. The breakfast was nice, plenty of options and the room service food was exceptional (we ordered fish and chips and chicken, we specifically loved the fish). The room also had amazing view of the city."
