A Day at 101 Hotel

Morning

Begin with breakfast in the softly lit dining space — skyr, warm bread, eggs, and strong coffee — before stepping out into Reykjavík’s crisp air and colorful streets.

Afternoon

Wander the harbor, visit nearby museums, or relax in the spa’s hot pool and sauna. The hotel’s calm palette offers a grounding pause between adventures.

Evening

Return for dinner or a drink at the bar, where locals and travelers mingle quietly. Later, stroll through the city as evening light lingers long into the night.

Night

Your room feels cocooned and serene — dark textures, plush bedding, and deep quiet that invites rest.

Insider Tips for 101 Hotel, Reykjavík

•  If you’re sensitive to noise, specifically request a room away from the street or nightlife areas — some guests report club music late on weekends due to nearby venues. 
• Free high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, concierge help for tours and transport, and laundry services make logistics easy.
• Breakfast isn’t always included and can be add-on; Reykjavik has many great brunch/café options nearby if you’d rather explore local coffee spots.
• Harbour-view rooms fill quickly, especially in summer — book early if the view matters to you. 
• This location works well if you’re taking Golden Circle or South Coast tours without a car — many operators meet in central Reykjavik.
