Fosshotel Reykjavik
Great staff- very accommodating for me. The food in the Beer Garden was great, as well as Haus. It’s only a few minutes walk to downtown, and is very convenient. Loved my stay there!

Black Beach Suites
Fantastic location just outside of Vic. Easy and close access to the black sand beach. Beautiful, super modern, large, very well appointed suites. Short walk to the bar in the main building. I wish there was a restaurant at the main building, but overall still a great place to stay.
