Hotels in ReykjavikA simple mid-range hotel in suburban Kópavogur
8.1/10
A clean, friendly base for drivers, rather than a Reykjavík city-break hotel.
201 Hotel is a simple mid-range hotel in Kópavogur, not the upscale four-star experience some listings suggest. It's a strong pick for travelers with a rental car: parking and continental breakfast are included, highways are handy, and central Reykjavík is roughly a 10–15-minute drive away. Recent Booking.com and Expedia guests consistently praise clean rooms and helpful staff. Smáralind mall and nearby restaurants make the practical setting easier to live with.
The trade-offs are fairly clear. Rooms are functional rather than indulgent, and several guests report overheating in sunny weather. Breakfast earns plenty of praise, but crowding and slow replenishment recur across Booking.com and Tripadvisor. We'd skip it for a walk-everywhere Reykjavík weekend or a pampering stay; for a straightforward road-trip base, it delivers well.
