Best of 6 hotels we’ve stayed at in Reykjavik

The staff was very helpful, especially when we needed them to contact a restaurant and the FlyBus service. The room was spacious and had a nice sitting area. The location was perfect. No complaints whatsoever! Over the last 10 years we have stayed in at least 6 different hotels in Reykjavik. This is our new favorite!
