Breakfast was good, nice quiet part of town. Only downside is no carpark, but there is potable parking on the street. Friendly and helpful staff

Hotel Local 101
Our room was small but perfectly formed! Great shower. The staff were friendly and helpful and even provided a breakfast to go bag when we had to leave early to catch our flight. The breakfast selection was fresh and tasy. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Hotel Reykjavík Grand
Excellent room based on where you get it. First time was in Junior suite and would rate it the best and second time was in an older section, which was clean but the bathroom was okay.
