Clean room. Nice breakfast. Pretty location. Staff was nice. Fire alarm went off in the middle of the night a couple of times and staff was no where to be seen for what felt like a long time. It was faulty not a fire. It was a bit frustrating at 3am. Nothing was mentioned the next morning. I would think a discount would have been given or an apology but nothing.

20/10 Exceptional! (11 reviews)

We just had a one night stay in the way to Vic after a long day in the golden circle. Very lovely place and very comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out in the porch as the sun set and enjoying the sounds of the ocean a little bit away. Owner was very friendly and responsive and walked us though the property to familiarize us with it. Local restaurant that was recommended (can’t remember the name) had absolutely incredible lobster soup! Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Tower our first night in Reykjavik! Room and amenities first class, beautiful view of the city, and of course greeted in the morning with a trolley of delicious breakfast food. Staff super friendly, and location able to walk to center of town. Highly recommend
