Hilton Reykjavik Nordica
Spa is amazing. Great gym too. Solid breakfast with lots of fresh food. Dinner was also really good in the restaurant. Lunch options were average but everything else was great

Arctic Comfort Hotel
Great if exploring Iceland in a car. Otherwise 40 min walk to the city centre of Reykjavik. Virtual check in and check out with a helpline if needed. Clean and spacious room. Shower doesn’t smell great but believe this is common in Iceland.
