Location in Reykjavík 101

Room With a View Hotel is in the Reykjavík 101 district of Reykjavík. Points of interest near Room With a View Hotel include Harpa Concert Hall & Conference Centre, 750m from Laugavegur - the most famous shopping street in Iceland, 650m from Kolaportid Flea market, 1 km from Volcano House, 1.5 km from Saga Museum, 1 km from Rathhus, 1.5 km from National Museum of Iceland, and 0.5 km from Reykjavik Museum of Photography.

Apartment and Room Choices

Guests choose from stylish standard double/twin rooms or suites on the top floor. Accommodation options feature bright, colorful design and modern décor. Several styles of apartment are available. Most - but not all - of the apartments look across the city to the sea. Some apartments feature contemporary lamps, tables, and furnishings, while others feature Eighties décor, such as fairly kitsch artworks. A beautiful and spacious suite on the top floor includes a balcony with views. Rooms offer ironing facilities, heating, tea and coffee facilities, a mini-bar, sitting area, terrace, dining table, and garden furniture. Bathrooms include free toiletries and fresh towels daily. Kitchens are fully equipped with a dishwasher, all utensils, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and oven.

Hotel Amenities

All guests are offered complimentary high-speed WiFi, fresh towels daily, and hot beverages in the lobby area. The accommodation offers airport transfers and a tour desk. Whale-watching adventures are available. The hotel reserves if guests are found to have smoked inside the property, as Room with a View is a NON smoking establishment.

Building History

The building that houses the apartments - known locally as Rúblan or The Rubla - was built in 1961 by local publishing house and bookshop Mál og menning. The building's '60's Mal og menning publishing house origins are still alive although apartments forming this 1994-opened establishment occupy most of the property. The building is in the same building as the famous - and highly atmospheric - Mál og menning bookshop.

Area Activities

Guests take the opportunity to explore the area for water adventures such as sailing and other activities like whale-watching. This route is rich with stunning waterfalls, glaciers and the famous black sand beach surrounded by dramatic unique rock formations. Snæfellsjökull is a gorgeous glacier with many fishing villages where guests can get a real local experience. Vík, a small town at the most southern point of Iceland, is a perfect stop for some lunch.

“Midtown Reykjavik, a self-check-in property, stands out for its superb location, a stone's throw from Laugavegur shopping street and Hallgrímskirkja Church. I think the blend of modern decor and family-friendly accommodations makes it suitable for various travellers. The spacious apartments, some with balconies, include conveniences like complimentary WiFi and daily housekeeping, which I find particularly appealing for longer stays in Reykjavik.”
