Five buildings in a calm corner of an older part of town make up this hotel with cheery and efficient guest rooms, some with nice views over Reykjavík's colorful rooftops. Its many regular guests choose it for its intimacy and location in the charming Þingholt neighborhood. The hotel's restaurant, Snaps, serves fish and steak from a bistro-type menu, while Bodega bar across the square is a popular spot for a happy-hour drink or to languidly sip spritzes in the sun.
A hostel with private rooms and dorms available, Loft is located right off Reykjavík's main shopping streets. The top-floor bar and lounge space hosts a busy rotation of events and activities, while the rooftop patio provides a sun-drenched perch from which you can people-watch from on high. This accommodation is not ideal for families, but it's great for solo travelers.
