Vallanes Vacation Packages

It was definitely a luxury experience unlike most stays I've ever done, 10/10 no notes on the hotel itself, the staff and amenities were bespoke. Breakfast was custom made to my liking and brought on a cart in the morning at a time of my choosing. Unbelievably good food and the lady working the desk was very charming. Word of caution, however: it is the highest up apartment in the entire city, maybe the entire country and the hotel is limited to the private access top floor of a new skyscraper of mostly corporate offices. At night, it was likely that my (city facing/partial ocean view) hotel room was the only one lit up in the tower and since the walls --including the bathroom-- are all glass, everything inside rather stands out and there no real privacy without curtains drawn. At some point, shortly after returning back at around midnight, someone somewhere in the city who noticed my arrival to the hotel room started blasting the apartment with a high powered laser pointer until I closed the curtains. That aside, it was a remarkably nice stay, the only concern is that its wildly ostentatious for better or for worse and maybe the locals aren't too pleased with that haha. I would stay here again.

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

A bit of a walk to center of town. Convenient bakery attached was good.

Great place to stay

We had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Leifur Eiríksson. The location is excellent, right across from Hallgrímskirkja and within easy walking distance of restaurants, cafés, shops and the main downtown area. It is also extremely convenient for tours, with Bus Stop 8 nearby, where many tour operators pick up passengers. The staff were one of the highlights of our stay. They were professional, friendly, welcoming and very helpful with questions and tour arrangements. The breakfast was very good and a great way to start the day. The buffet offered a nice variety, including Geyser Bread - rúgbrauð . The one thing to keep in mind is the size of the rooms and especially the bathroom and shower. The rooms are on the smaller side. Overall, Hotel Leifur Eiríksson is a comfortable, convenient and friendly hotel that works particularly well as a base for exploring Reykjavík and taking day tours.

Excellent breakfast!
