We wanted an early check-in so to accommodate that, was offered a room at their sister hotel across the street, the Center Hotel Laugavegur. We accepted and were able to get a nap and then explore the shopping district and walk to a well rated restaurant, Reykjavik Kitchen, to have a delicious meal. The location was very walkable to local attractions. The room was nice and the staff very helpful. The included breakfast was decent and typical for European offering.
