More of an institution than a mere hotel, this is certainly one of the best hotels in Reykjavik. Opened back in 1930, this hotel has a very high reputation. With its central location, good service and excellent product, success is sure to continue for this famous property.
Rooms vary in size and from medium to large. Although they retain a traditional feel to them, rooms have all mod-cons and are almost luxurious. Decorated in pleasant soft colours, rooms are homely and comfortable. All rooms are in exceptional condition as are the characterful bathrooms..
Guests have use of two restaurants; the cafe which is extremely popular with locals and has a lively atmosphere most of the day and evening; and the main restaurant, which offers a more formal dining experience in a luxurious traditional setting.
Lobby:
The medium sized lobby is traditional in style and there is a seating area as well as the entrance to the very popular cafe.
Exterior:
A traditional grey 6 storey building and a very fine piece of architecture. With archways along the ground at the exterior, this cream building stands proudly on the main square.
