Hengifoss

The view you get after a 2.5km hike to the falls. As a treat on the way you get fantastic views and 2 other waterfalls on the way up.

The smaller of the two waterfalls of Hengifoss.
Flanked by basalt columns formed during the intense heat & pressures of a lava flow.

The room was the very top floor with a skylight that looked toward the church. And a window facing the Perlan. It was clean and comfortable with everything needed forvour syay. The only issue was only having a tub but we made it work. I highly recommend Oddsson downtown.

By far our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The breakfast was amazing in its variety and portions. The room set up was perfect for our family of four (2 bed 2 bath apartment) The Reykjavík Residence is wonderfully situated in walking distance of all downtown attractions and tours. I cannot recommend highly enough.
