Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina is quirky and conveniently located in the heart of Reyjkavik. The views from the room over the marina were breath taking. The hotel has a rather interesting lobby with lots of little characters around the place. With a man sitting by the fire place and another by a urinal, and lost dog roaming.
The rooms are quite basic but retain some of the character from it being a converted old paint factory. With old paintings and minimalist furniture the room is just comfortable for popping in and out from excursions. One soon becomes accustomed to the frosted glass bathroom in the corner of the room.
The delicatessen is quaint, yet modern and airy and great for a quick bite.
The hotel has stylish hidden dens, a cinema room, bar and restaurant. With lots of little areas to hide away from the cold.
The location is fantastic as its a mere five minute walk to the centre of town. We were surprised to be able to spot the Northern Lights from our room over the marina and this definitely makes this a hotel of choice to stay for exploring Iceland. The staff is helpful and courteous and offered us daily updates on the Northern Lights. The Icelanair Hotel Marina’s the perfect base for tours of the city and to visit the local sights and restaurants.
