"The Grandi gets a 10/10 on every aspect that I consider during hotel research. The one consideration that one might take a second look at is location. While my wife and I are avid walkers, the distance you will find yourself from city central, the Harp and the most famous church in Iceland may give you pause. We walked to all of sights we wanted to see. Other may need to incur the cost of a cab or take the time to figure out their extensive bus system It was not an issue for us, because we always us the Hop On, Hop Off bus lines in all of our city travels."
