9.2/10 Wonderful! (168 reviews)

Great location. Walkable. Close to shopping, dinning and sites. The room was spacious-especially the bathroom. I contacted the property managers and received a response within 2 hours. The bakery on the first floor, Brikk was lovely. We had a room on the 3rd floor with a sloped ceiling-I'm tall and hit my head a few times-lol.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,012 reviews)

Great location with easy walking distance to downtown. Breakfast was great too. We only spent 1 night in the family room which isn’t big but has outdoor deck access as well which we would have used if we’d stayed there longer. We even walked to the Aurora museum on the waterfront which is doable if you can walk a couple of miles round trip.

Very comfortable, large room. Very friendly, helpful staff. Hotel is in a perfect location in the middle of the city within a 15/20 minute walk of many highlights, restaurants and the harbor. The breakfast basket and daily sourdough bread were amazing.

National Museum of Iceland

From Viking feasts and battles to the independence movement of the 20th century, Iceland’s premier museum preserves every detail of the nation’s history.

Tjörnin means "the lake" or "the pond". It’s a glacial lake in central Reykjavík and next to the Reykjavik City Hall and several museums. There is a great place to watch or feed birds, and a nice walk you can walk around the lake.
