Hótel Heiðmörk
About this stay
Ögurhvarf 4 is not in Reykjavík proper but in Kópavogur, the neighbouring town, on the southeastern edge of the capital area: about 10 km from Hallgrímskirkja and Harpa, and around 49 km from Keflavík airport. That address is the point of Hótel Heiðmörk. Parking is free on site, while the city centre's street parking is paid, and the Route 1 exits toward the Golden Circle and the South Coast are closer than from downtown. Family rooms have balconies and are soundproofed, and guests mention small but comfortable rooms. Breakfast is served, coffee and tea are available in the lounge, and a tour desk books day trips. Elliðavatn lake and the Heiðmörk reserve, with forest and lava trails, are a short drive away.

Our take
Ögurhvarf 4 puts Hótel Heiðmörk in Kópavogur, about 10 km from Hallgrímskirkja, and I would only book it with a rental car: free parking on site and a quick run out of the city toward the Golden Circle are what you gain. An 8.2 average across more than 2,000 reviews fits a straightforward hotel with small rooms, balconies in the family rooms and a decent breakfast. Its green neighbour is the real bonus: Elliðavatn and the Heiðmörk reserve, with forest and lava trails, are minutes away for an evening walk. Travellers without a car, or who want Laugavegur's bars on foot, should stay downtown; bus rides from here add up.
Why we love it
- No paid street parking to worry about
- Quicker escape from the city than a downtown hotel
- Rated 8.2 across more than 2,000 guest reviews
Why guests love itFor a family with a rental car, Hótel Heiðmörk solves the capital's two practical problems: free parking at the door and room to spread out in family rooms with balconies. The hotel sits in Kópavogur, about 10 km from the centre, so evenings are quiet and the drive out toward the Golden Circle or the South Coast starts away from downtown traffic. Breakfast is served, and the tour desk can book day trips. The green space is the real asset for children: Elliðavatn lake and the Heiðmörk reserve, with paths through forest and lava, are a short drive away. Without a car, I would stay downtown instead, because every outing here starts with a bus or a taxi.
