“This hotel strikes me as a practical choice near Reykjavik, particularly appealing to families. I noted the convenience of free parking, plus extras like fitness access not always found in a 3-star property. I think its bistro and breakfast options could satisfy varied tastes after a day exploring the nearby Geopark.”
