Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels
The property is nice and is located in a convenient location in Reykjavik. It is nice that they have a free breakfast. The shower in our room wasn’t very well designed so we’ll get the floor pretty wet and with the very high winds, our windows didn’t have good seals around them so it was making noise ...
