The rooms are spacious and generously sized, which was an important consideration for my family and me. One of the things I particularly loved was the location. The hotel is right in the heart of downtown Reykjavík, making it convenient to explore the city, yet tucked away from the noise and bustle. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, assisting us with tour arrangements and transportation around Reykjavík. We also appreciated the convenience of being able to store our luggage at the hotel for the two days we checked out to explore the South Coast. And the breakfast selection was excellent! 👍 Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend Reykjavik Saga to anyone visiting Reykjavík."
