Hotel Reviews
ODDSSON Hotel
Reykjavik

Keyless entry was helpful since our arrival was so early. Free Breakfast were good and soup was available for dinner time. Nice sitting area for games and dining. Our last day departure was 7am; breakfast opened then so we were not able to eat. Food for that day would have been appreciated. ODDSSON is a beautiful hotel.

Horse Riding
Iceland

Our 2 grandsons were allowed to ride faster at the end of our ride which they loved. We asked for this and the owner accommodated them. They would have enjoyed even more time and the faster pace.
