9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,210 reviews)

This is well-appointed modern hotel that is centrally located at the end of Laugavegur Street. It is right across from the fabulous Hlemmur Food Hall and Lucky Records, a Reykjavík institution for music fans. The rooms are comfortable and European chic. The breakfast buffet is delicious and a great way to fuel for a day of sightseeing. The spa is well-kept and a good way to unwind after a hard day of touring. This hotel is used by large tour groups and there are times of day when the lobby and restaurant are crowded and a bit chaotic. This did not detract from our stay and the rooms were quiet. Iceland has become very expensive since I was last here 4 years ago—and this hotel is no exception. Whatever you have budgeted for your Reykjavík stay—double it! Iceland makes Switzerland look like a bargain!
