The Top Floor Apartment includes a king bed, bunk bed, and two 54m² balconies overlooking Reykjavik. All rooms feature kitchenettes with Nespresso machines, refrigerators, and cooking hobs. Hardwood floors and high ceilings reflect the building's 1900 heritage.

Aldamót Bar on the ground floor serves Spanish tapas with Icelandic cheeses, meat platters, grilled brie, and sweet fries daily until 22:00. The bar offers award-winning cocktails, gin pairings, and a rotating wine list. The adjacent Klaustur Bar specializes in Icelandic wines, whiskeys, and gins. The hotel lobby sells bottled water, soft drinks, snacks, and alcoholic beverages.

Location & Landmarks

Located in the historic Kirkjuhvoll building, the hotel faces Austurvöllur square, the Icelandic Parliament, and Dómkirkjan cathedral. Harpa Concert Hall is 500 meters away. Laugavegur shopping street, Hallgrímskirkja Church, and the National Museum are within 1 km. The area hosts parliamentary ceremonies and presidential inaugurations.

The concierge team books tours, transportation, and activities, available 24/7. Guests can pre-stock refrigerators with drinks and snacks. High-speed WiFi is provided free. The Kvosin Kiosk sells linen, teas, and toiletries. Lost items are held for 4 weeks. Guide dogs require prior arrangement.

Building Heritage

The hotel occupies a 1900 building that previously housed restaurants, travel agencies, and a public reading lounge. The property maintains original architectural features while incorporating modern Scandinavian design. Weekly jazz concerts occur at nearby Harpa Concert Hall.

“This boutique hotel occupies a beautifully transformed historic building. Its location is a strategic advantage, right by the Icelandic Parliament and Reykjavik Cathedral. From what I gather, its bar is designed to be a destination, with local drinks and award-winning cocktails.”
