Blönduós Holidays from AU$2,697

One of the best hotels we have stayed in. We has the family suite - really well equipped, beautifully furnished, great space and a lovely breakfast basket each day placed in the fridge and fresh bread each morning. We could sit and enjoy our breakfast when we wanted which was really nice. Great Nespresso machine too!

I would have been 5 stars if we didn't have a problem entering the building. The keycode sent to us was correct but the door lock was sticking due to a loose screw and we were having a hard time opening the door for 15+ minutes. We reported the issue on Saturday morning and after exchanging several chat messages with support personnel, we managed to pull the door open, but were affraid to close it again, so we put a door mat in the doorway to prevent door from closing. Noone showed up to fix the door until Monday morning, when we were checking out. Otherwise, the apartment itself was great, clean, warm and pretty and the location is great, so absent the door issue, everything else was good.

Kitchen to use, breakfast to buy, staff were quick to support when needex

This is a really beautiful place. Very welcoming and warm staff. Complimentary coffee, teas and pastries in reception. We visited just after Christmas time and it was decorated beautifully. We stayed in a bigger room and the children used the bed settee. It was set up when we arrived. Individual duvets for everyone. Lovely towels and toiletries. Coffee machine in the room with various pods, teas and creamers. Electric hob was useful as we had an early start one day and cooked eggs. Thank you, Adrian for advising we need to put the pan on to heat things up! Hotel breakfast is delicious. Lots of choice. Cereals, breads, fresh fruit, yoghurts, bacon, eggs, pancakes the list goes on. Really enjoyed it being a small hotel, friendly fellow guests. It's close to Bus Stop #1 and #3 depending on your trip pick-up/drop-off. Right next to the lake. We fed the ducks frequently. Very close to all the shops, bars and restaurants. A truly great location. Thank you Kvosin Downtown we're so happy we chose you and you looked after us perfectly. Happy New Year to all.

The location is great if you want to be in the heart of it all. The kitchen is small but it is well equipped and we were able to make simple meals to save a little money. There is no ventilation or fans in the kitchen or bathroom though. For us, the only negative was only having one pillow per person. We enjoyed the nightly music from below and spent our last night at the library listening live, but if you want quiet at night, this is not a good place for you.
