This is the view on TOP of the church at the center of Rejkjavik. You can notice the colourful roofs and the church ground floor pattern where Leifur Ericsson’s statue is situated
Largest church in Iceland and one of  Reykjavík's best known landmarks. It's construction took over 40 years. The white interior is impressive. Don't miss the view from the observation deck on top of the tower.

The shared area was lovely. The fridge was a little full, but apart from that, everything else was great. The hot tub is a must! The reception team were also very kind and helpful.

Decent hotel in a convenient location. I was surprised at the poor insulation - window and electrical outlets allowed significant flow of cold air through them.
