Location, location, location. I have to admit it was hard to find, but it is located in the heart of the action. Hotel is on the south west corner of Hverfisgata and Ingolfsstraeti. There is a Taxi only parking right in front, use that to check in if you have a car. The parking is really tight. We were doing sight seeing so we wanted a car. For exploring the heart of Reykajavik you don't need a car and a taxi to this location would help. It is a small hotel 36 rooms I think, but they are really nice rooms. Bed was excellent. Compared to Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm (no hotel under $600/night) the bed was the best of all of them. Staff was super helpful in getting around town and checking in the hotel. I would not hesitate to go again.

After a four year foreign travel hiatus due to the pandemic and puppies, we embarked on our first journey since Krakow in 2019. First stop Reykjavik. The 101 staff warmly welcomed us after our overnight flight. They had a room ready upon our arrival and we grabbed a much needed comfortable nap. The folks at reception assisted us in booking two excursions. The recommended small group northern lights tour was a major success. We lucked out on a great night for viewing. The team at reception also assisted with airport transport at 5am on day of departure. Iceland can be quite pricey, but if the 101 fits into your budget and your plans include a few evenings in Reykjavik we would recommend .
