Top hotels in Norðurmýri
Fosshotel Raudara
I loved all the front desk people. I loved the breakfasts; comfortable blankets, right sized pillows, small table and round arm chair. The Wifi was very weak; my bathroom had no heater; the door of the shower room could not close tightly.

The pod was an excellent soze for a solo travellor abd the kitchen that was available made it easy to make your own food and save money i an expensive location. I was able to check in early which helped a lot since my flight landed very early.

Fosshotel Reykjavik
We had a pleasant stay. The hotel was in walking distance of many shops and restaurants and we were picked up for excursions right outside of the hotel. Very convenient.
