Hotel Thingholt (standard), Reykjavik

Hotel Thingholt (standard), Reykjavik - Description

Location

This hotel is situated just off Reykjavik's main shopping street Laugarvegur in a narrow side street. It is for the most part a peaceful location, but can be a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights.

Rooms

The rooms vary in size, with a few that are large. All rooms are non-smoking. Designed by a Los Angeles based Icelandic interior designer, Gulla J nsd ttir, they are decorated with stylish state-of-the-art furniture and predominantly black and white colour schemes, though many of the rooms and notably the bathrooms have bare rendered walls. Some of the rooms on the top floor have characterful sloping ceilings and dormer windows. They are in exceptional conditions as are the funky modern bathrooms.

Restaurant

The hotel has a smart, stylish breakfast room on the ground floor.

Exterior

Half of this hotel is quite an old building by Reykjavik standards while the other half is brand new, blending together beautifully with an attractive white facade.

Lobby

The lobby like the rest of the hotel is chic, modern and stylish, a great example of Icelandic contemporary interior design.

General

This well located and managed property is the newest of Reykjaviks new breed of boutique hotel. It comes highly recommended.
