"While we enjoyed our stay overall, the parking arrangements were less convenient than we expected."

8.0

Karen and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Leifur Eiriksson. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Reykjavík on foot. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable and convenient base for our visit.

The parking situation was not what we expected. The hotel information led us to believe that free parking was available for guests, but in practice it depended on finding an available public parking space nearby. While those spaces may be free, availability is not guaranteed, and guests may need to spend time searching for parking or pay for an alternative. A clearer explanation of the parking arrangements would help set expectations. We were aware before arriving that the hotel does not have an elevator. However, carrying luggage up and down the spiral staircases proved more difficult than anticipated and was the one aspect of the stay that detracted from an otherwise positive experience.

"good location, but no lifts"

5.0

Location was great, just next to the main square with the Hallgrímskirkja church. The room was also clean and great for one person.

No lift is definitely disadvantage, especially that my room was on the 4th floor. Also entering the hotel and steps to the reception, with lack of accessibility to bring the suitcases down. I was surprised that I was accommodated in another building, so it was difficult to come for breakfast to another building and later go back to another building to bring the suitcase for check-out. Especially that without lifts all those trips are quite difficult with a big suitcase.

"Loistava sijainti, pieni huone, ota korvatulpat"

8.0

Keskeinen sijainti aivan kävelykatujen vieressä kirkon edessä, kompakti huone, sopiva aamupala. Joustava sisäänkirjautuminen. Lähellä parin kadun päässä ilmaista parkkitilaa kadun varressa.

Huone oli aika kompakti, kaksi matkalaukkua avattuna hankaloitti huoneessa kulkemista. Meidän huone oli kadun vieressä maan tasalla, yksityisyys ok, mutta kadun äänet kuului selvästi. Korvatulpat herkkäunisille tarpeelliset, aamulla ja illalla autojen ääni ja ohikulkijoiden puhe kuului ongelmitta sisään asti, vaikka yöllä olikin rauhallista. Käytävässä oli voimakas erikoinen hajusteen tuoksu, huone raikas. Kaikkialla Reykjavikissa suihku ja lämmin vesi tuoksuu rikille, sille ei voi mitään. Uloskirjautuminen melko aikaisin.
