Comfortable, central base for exploring Reykjavik
If you're after a modern, comfortable and centrally located base for exploring Reykjavik – and perhaps further afield, too – the Hotel Klettur certainly fits the bill. It's on a quiet street just a few minutes' walk from Laugavegur (the city's main boulevard, running through the middle of downtown) and within easy reach of the waterfront.
A 10-15 minute walk will take you to the iconic Hallgrimskirkja, which dominates the city's skyline with its distinctive, rocket-shaped tower. Just around the corner, meanwhile, is Hlemmur Mathöll – a lively food court in what used to be the city's main bus terminal. There, you'll find everything from modern Icelandic cuisine to authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas and top notch Mexican street food, as well as several bars serving all kinds of local beers, cocktails, and plenty more.
Back at the hotel, there's a cosy lounge bar and billiards room downstairs where you can relax over a drink or two, taking advantage of some of the best happy hour discounts in Reykjavik (from 5pm-8pm). In reception, feel free to take advantage of the comprehensive stack of brochures and information booklets for handy local tips and details about excursions. You can also stock up on snacks, with a selection of sandwiches and other refreshments on offer.
The buffet breakfast is continental-style, featuring a selection of cereals, fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, bread and pastries, so you can fuel up before venturing out to see the sights. Expect clean, functional rooms, and look out for the Icelandic nature-inspired wall art in the common areas throughout the hotel.
