“What stands out is its position directly opposite Hallgrímskirkja Church, which is obviously amazing. The hotel seems to be trying to balance its unique historic architecture with modern expectations, a challenge given some reports of small bathrooms and extra charges for early check-in. However, its central location on Skólavörðustígur, with that lively bar scene and inclusive breakfast, likely wins out for those wanting to dive right into Reykjavik.”
