Historic building originally built by Mál og menning publishing house and bookshop

Located in the same building as the atmospheric Mál og menning bookshop

Several rooms offer views across the city to the sea

Airport transfer service available

Cons

Located 31 mile from Keflavík International Airport

“Staying here puts you right in the middle of Reykjavik's shopping area, with easy access to attractions like Hallgrímskirkja Church and the Harpa Concert Hall. The hotel's self-catering apartments are particularly well-suited for families or groups, and I noted the convenience of 24/7 luggage storage. Though some found the bar below noisy, its central location near dining and nightlife really stood out to me.”
