Reykjavik boutique value is usually about atmosphere and placement rather than grand facilities.
Smaller properties often fit the city better than generic large-format hotels.
In heritage-heavy districts, also check whether elevators, step-free entry, or older staircase layouts matter for your stay before narrowing the shortlist.
