Top hotels in Laugardalur
Hotel Reykjavík Grand
We checked in late and the staff were very helpful. Rooms are modern and quiet although the blinds didn’t completely block the lights from the city which was annoying. Breakfast was good.

Fosshotel Reykjavik
The staff were very helpful. Nice clean hotel, very convenient for bus stop 12, which is right outside. Breakfast buffet is good. Second time staying here and will definitely be coming back.

Storm Hotel by Keahotels
Hotel is very good without being luxurious. Rooms smallish but very adequate - all very clean, comfortable and modern. Breakfast is nice but limited. Location is very good - not far from the waterfront and ideal for bus stop 12 and the tours that pick up/drop off from there.

Impeccable apartment, I can’t find one bad thing to say about this place. It was modern, clean and well equipped. Easy to find and get to the apartment with the instructions provided. We had the best time here.
