Hjardarfell Holidays from £286

This was our last stay in Iceland following an 11 day epic Ring Road adventure. The room was well stocked with the essentials, quiet and clean. The location was excellent for exploring the city on foot. Brikk bakery in the ground floor was an added bonus.

Our stay was lovely, we had a clean, quiet stay. I could’ve lived there!

It was definitely a luxury experience unlike most stays I've ever done, 10/10 no notes on the hotel itself, the staff and amenities were bespoke. Breakfast was custom made to my liking and brought on a cart in the morning at a time of my choosing. Unbelievably good food and the lady working the desk was very charming. Word of caution, however: it is the highest up apartment in the entire city, maybe the entire country and the hotel is limited to the private access top floor of a new skyscraper of mostly corporate offices. At night, it was likely that my (city facing/partial ocean view) hotel room was the only one lit up in the tower and since the walls --including the bathroom-- are all glass, everything inside rather stands out and there no real privacy without curtains drawn. At some point, shortly after returning back at around midnight, someone somewhere in the city who noticed my arrival to the hotel room started blasting the apartment with a high powered laser pointer until I closed the curtains. That aside, it was a remarkably nice stay, the only concern is that its wildly ostentatious for better or for worse and maybe the locals aren't too pleased with that haha. I would stay here again.

The room was very nice. We were on the 5th floor. The breakfast was good. I recommend to the hotel to add safety handles in the shower. The tub is very high to climb into.
