The 3-star family run hotel Leifur Eiriksson is located in the centre of Reykjavik opposite the landmark Hallgrim's Cathedral and is walking distance from what the city centre has to offer. Guests can browse the boutique shops on Skolavordustigur or Laugavegur, visit one of the city's thermal baths, take a whale-watching excursion from the harbour or relax over a meal in one of the range of restaurants. [One of the best restaurants, which uses the fresh fish to create superb Goan dishes is just one minute from the hotel.] The hotel has 48 well-appointed rooms that offer satellite tv, telephone, radio and WI-FI. As this is a privately-owned hotel the owners pride themselves on offering a warm welcome to all its guests, so there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and are always at hand to offer advice and recommendations while in the city. (Guests requesting a triple room should note that bedding consists of a double plus extra bed).
