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.

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
