Hotel Jazz

A good place to stay for an early departure the next day

The Manager of the Hotel was extremely polite and helpful. He was available on the phone whenever we called him to ask questions about places, transport etc. He drove us to the Blue Lagoon for a much more affordable amount than a Taxi wanted to charge us. Thank you to the manager very much for your hospitality! We were very close to the water front at this Hotel which enabled us to see the northern lights from our hotel window which was great. We were only 20 mins from the Blue Lagoon and less than 10 mins from the airport. There was fresh bread for toast in the morning and cereal so if you don’t mind a continental breakfast each morning you will be fine. The room was very clean and comfortable, had English TV on a good size screen which was great as not much to do in the evenings apart from chill in front of TV.

Everything was very expensive, the food, the transport (public and Taxi). Blue Lagoon was pricey but we budgeted for that and booked our ticket before we flew out (which is recommended). We had Dominos for dinner one night which was a 15 min walk from Hotel but reasonably priced also. The bus to Reykjavík cost a bomb and so did lunch there so make sure you budget for that. Unless you are going to hire a car you would need to book excursions (which are pricey) but there’s not much to do in the Towns and nothing much pretty to look at apart from the Sea and Coastline. I would not come to see pretty buildings as there were not many, we did not do the Golden Circle but heard it’s worth a visit.

Hot, crusty bread for a 5.30am breakfast- what's not to love
