“The hotel's historical setting-part of Reykjavik's first concrete building-and proximity to the waterfront offer a unique blend of culture and convenience; I particularly appreciate the eco-conscious approach to housekeeping and the friendly bar. While the bathrooms could use a bit of tweaking for comfort, the central location and diverse breakfast make it a worthwhile choice for exploring Reykjavik.”
