Contemporary design hotel inspired by Iceland's dramatic weather and nature. Features modern rooms with rain showers, excellent breakfast buffet, and central location near harbor and shopping. Perfect blend of style, comfort, and value.
Storm Hotel by Keahotels is a contemporary design hotel at Þórunnartún 4 in the 105 Reykjavík postal district, situated in the Hlemmur neighbourhood approximately 1.5 kilometres east of the Old Town and a short walk from Reykjavík's main bus junction at Hlemmur Square. The hotel takes its name from Iceland's elemental and unpredictable weather, and this theme runs through the interiors: charcoal walls, raw concrete accents, warm amber lighting, and photography prints depicting Iceland's landscapes in storm conditions evoke the drama of the natural environment without compromising comfort. The building was designed as a shelter from the storm — a warm, well-appointed refuge that complements the rugged surroundings.
The hotel offers 104 modern rooms across standard, superior, and deluxe categories. All rooms feature rainfall showers, high-quality Nordic duvets, blackout curtains essential for Iceland's summer white nights, Nespresso machines, and flat-screen televisions. Deluxe rooms on upper floors offer partial views over the eastern city roofscape. Free parking in the hotel's own dedicated car park is one of Storm Hotel's most practical advantages in a city where parking is often difficult and expensive.
Breakfast is a consistently well-reviewed feature of the hotel: the buffet covers a broad selection of Icelandic smoked salmon, skyr, cold cuts, pastries, and hot dishes. The hotel bar and restaurant serves evening meals and a drinks menu drawing on Icelandic craft beers and spirits.
A compact fitness centre is available at no additional cost. The hotel does not have an on-site pool, but Laugardalslaug — Reykjavík's largest and most popular geothermal swimming complex — is approximately 2 kilometres east by taxi. The Hlemmur area has developed into one of Reykjavík's more interesting food districts; Hlemmur Mathöll food hall is a five-minute walk and offers excellent dinner alternatives at lower price points than the hotel restaurant. The hotel is well positioned for guests exploring Iceland by rental car, with straightforward road access to the ring road.
