Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels
Our stay was great! The front desk was extremely knowledgeable about the city, the location was beautiful (right outside of downtown, about a mile walk), and the Icelandic breakfast was incredible. I will be thinking about the skyr and pecan pastries.

Hotel Ísland - Spa & Wellness Hotel
The room was nice and the access to the spa was worth it! The hotel itself works for pick up or car access, its a little far from the restaurants and attractions.

ODDSSON Midtown Hotel
Super easy in and out. Pretty much everything is well communicated. Room had everything i needed. No more, no less. Good location, although not super close to the downtown so keep that in mind. But the bus system is also super easy to use.
