I stayed at the Grand Hotel. I stayed in the "Newer Wing". We had the breakfast included. It was very clean and modern looking as well as one of the two closest Hotels to the Venue. There are a couple of ways to look at it. If you stay here, it might be a bit more expensive than some other hotels in the heart of the city. This can be good or bad. The pubs in Iceland are open way late. This is cool, but you might find yourself wanting to sleep with a circus raging just outside your window. I always bring earplugs for when it is time to shut the world off. The Hyatt is very comparable I believe and has a more happening hotel bar.
Walks from both of these hotels to the venue is about 5-7 mins. Walking to the heart of downtown, is more like 15-mins. Overall the city proper is not that big and can be done by putting your best foot forward. If you donÆt like this, There are a ton of very nice cabs that can take you hither and thither without much of a wait.
Now if you stay downtown, you will be in the heart of everything, but further away from the venue. Not the place for peace and quiet though. It lean more toward ôon and on till the break of dawnö.
Oh pro tip. If you hang out yackin in the streets till the sun comes up, avoid the nightly bar brawls unless you have a good remote repping gang with you. LOL. My amature drunk friend lost the desto and got separated from the rest of the fleet and got Blobbed! He made it alright but got out in deep structure. I have a lot of funny pics.
Take a day off and GO TO THE FRIGGIN BLUE LAGOON!! It is really cool. Check it out online before you go. DonÆt be scared off by bad weather. It is most fun to go in very foul weather. I think it was sleeting when I went. We also hit the ATV tour package that combines the tour with a trip to the blue lagoon. There are right next to one another. This was a blast!
Make sure you try the Brennivin! No other drink tastes quite like it. Or as my friend and I say in the morning, Begin againà with Brennivin!!! Woot!
Anyway I hope you have a blast! We sure as hell did!
