Hotel Reykjavík Grand
Excellent room based on where you get it. First time was in Junior suite and would rate it the best and second time was in an older section, which was clean but the bathroom was okay.

Breakfast was good, nice quiet part of town. Only downside is no carpark, but there is potable parking on the street. Friendly and helpful staff
