Fosshotel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"We loved the hotel. Great location. Only 1 drawback was the tiny shower in our room It felt like the size you would get on a cruise ship The staff was excellent. We would stay here again I booked through Expedia and the hotel messaged me before our trip The communication was seamless from our room, restaurants and places to see"

Center Hotels Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. We arrived on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised that our room was ready a couple of hours before check-in, which was greatly appreciated after traveling. We stayed in Room 808 (an executive room,) which was clean, comfortable, and appeared to have been refreshed recently. One unique feature was the shared balcony on the 8th floor, where we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights one evening. Access is through a door outside the guest rooms rather than directly from the room itself, which we actually preferred. Some rooms do have direct balcony access, so if you use the shared space, just be mindful of noise and avoid standing directly in front of other guests' doors. The breakfast was quite good. There was a nice selection of coffee and tea, eggs, bacon, sausage, skyr, fresh fruit, assorted breads, and pastries, which gave us plenty of options before heading out for the day. The only issue we encountered was that a couple of days into our stay I noticed I had been charged the full cost of the room on my credit card even though I had prepaid through Hotels.com. When I mentioned it at the front desk, the staff quickly looked into it and processed a refund right away. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was good, and the early check-in was a wonderful surprise. I'd happily stay here again and would recommend it to others visiting Iceland."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Norðurmýri?

The best time to visit Norðurmýri is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

During this period, you'll experience the "midnight sun," meaning nearly 24 hours of daylight, which is superb for exploring and making the most of your trip. Temperatures typically range from 10°C to 15°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities like walking around the city or venturing out for excursions. This time of year also sees all attractions and services operating at their fullest capacity.

For those hoping to see the Northern Lights, the best time to visit is between September and April. While the weather is colder and daylight hours are significantly shorter, the darker skies offer the best chance to witness this natural phenomenon. You'll need to be prepared for temperatures often below freezing and potentially snowy conditions.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Norðurmýri hotel for you.
