Imagine Peace Tower Tours

This was my third trip to Reykjavik and the first time staying at this hotel — and it was a great choice due to the location and walkability. I would not suggest this hotel to the novice traveler who is looking for white glove service. I highly recommend for the well-seasoned traveler who can navigate self-service check-in, access codes and not seeing a receptionist. You will receive communication from the hotel prior to your stay requesting that you check-in online and provide your identification. Once you do, you receive the access code to the building, room, and luggage storage room. Again, everything is self-service. Our check-in was slightly complicated due to the access code not working for our room, bit was easily solved by calling the hotel staff from the lobby phone — and reaching someone was not an issue even at 10:15p.m. We had an extremely spacious room with separate sitting area. There is no A/C; which is not needed due to the moderate weather. The windows open, which means you’ll also hear street noise and you may hear music from the bar nearby — which is apparently enough of an issue that you receive earplugs. However, if you travel to NYC, Washington, DC, or other major metro cities, then this will not bother you. The amenities are not high end, but we weren’t expecting that. Luggage room location was a little sketch; but also manageable. Much, much nicer than a hostel, but not the Four Seasons. Highly recommend for the experienced traveler.

Great location, food options, parking!

The apartment is clean and has appliances. A grocery store is nearby. There is easy access to public transportation, and parking is available. We will stay here again if we return to Iceland.
