Краткий обзор: A legitimate five-star sanctuary hidden inside a four-star hotel in an industrial port town.
Подтверждено @mettahara: I couldn't believe this suite exists in Iceland! Walking into the Diamond Suites felt like stepping into a palace. The Versace decor is stunning, but my favorite part was definitely the private jacuzzi and smart shower. It’s the ultimate warm escape from the cold.

Reality check
Some guests feel the disconnect between the ultra-luxe suites and the shared common areas (gym, main entrance) of the standard hotel downstairs.
- You have an early flight and want to end your trip in style
- You appreciate high-tech toys like Bang & Olufsen TVs and iPads in-room
- You want a private, quiet breakfast away from the bus tour crowds
Чистота и уход
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally impeccable daily service, though one recent outlier review mentioned issues.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The Versace marble is kept polished and grout is typically pristine.
- Maintenance: High standard, though the building itself is older, so occasional wear in common areas is possible.
- Linens & towels: Premium quality, fluffy towels and high-thread-count linens.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh; no lingering smoke or mustiness reported in suites.

5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The entrance is confusingly humble; you walk past standard rooms to get to your VIP elevator.
💡The 'Library' suite (Emerald) has wild Mackenzie Childs wallpaper that you'll either love or hate.
💡You can order a private chef to cook for you in the suite (with notice).
💡The gym is actually a full public gym (640 sqm), so it's well-equipped but can be busy with locals.
💡The 'views' are of the ocean, but also of the town's rooftops and streets—it's urban, not wild.
