hotel suites in Iceland

[CloudBee]

We're looking to go back to Iceland in a few months. We loved the Hilton in Reykjavik, and I believe they have suites.  However, with a stroller it's a little bit of a hike from city center.  We would be willing to do it, but I'm curious to know what other hotels have suites.

Someone save me from clicking on each hotel's website and searching.

Who has vacationed in Iceland with a toddler?  DS will be 1 in March.  We figure we'll get a rental car this time.

Any other areas in Iceland that might be fun to spend the night with a kiddo?

Not a full service hotel, but we stayed at the Reykjavik4You apartments and we had a 1BR apartment -- they also have 2 BRs.

No elevator though, so you'd want to make sure that the apartment you wanted was on a floor you could handle with baby stuff.

We also didn't have a tub, but I think some of their apartments do.

I would imagine that as a large chain hotel, the Radisson, which has a great location, would have suites.

Akureyri would probably be good for an overnight with a kid. Lots to do there.

I second Akureyri

Whatever you do, don't stay at Room with a View.

The hotel itself is great, during the day the location is great, but it's next to a club, so you can hear music (very, loudly) from about 12-4am.

Are you doing this through the special IcelandAir has right now through march? I am tempted.

We stayed here for 3 nights  in May 2012 based on a rec from someone on this board:

www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g189970-d231237-Reviews-Castle_House_Luxury_Apartments-Reykjavik_Capital_Region.html. 

5 min walk from downtown, on street parking with no issues.  Comfy, quiet, clean.  No kid in town though.

S/o: is the Hilton centrally located to walk the city?

I was coming on here to post about this; we are considering booking it! I wanted input in Feb temps; looks like mid 30s?

We stayed at CenterHotel Thingholt. The location was amazing and it was really reasonably priced. They have "junior suites" and "loft suites". I can't speak to their size, but I'd recommend the hotel in a heartbeat!

We stayed at Room With a View and didn't have any issues with noise. The rooms were big, there's an elevator, and it's close to city center. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's about a 10 minute walk from the center of the city.  I was happy to be slightly removed.  And there are quite a few restaurants, and even a grocery store or two that you will walk by.  The Hilton has more space than hotels in the city center, and a great view.

I never received alerts from this post, so I'm just seeing this now.

I didn't know there was a special.  We're looking at Panama right now.  Maybe we should reconsider Iceland, lol.
