“Staying here places you squarely in Reykjavík 101, yet the immediate area maintains a quiet atmosphere. The rooms feel more like studio apartments, many offering kitchenware which is a real advantage considering Iceland's dining costs. I particularly appreciate the personalized touch; it cultivates a homely environment often absent in larger hotels.”
