Landmark hotel on Hagatorg square beside the University of Iceland.
Radisson Blu Saga Hotel Reykjavik is a four-star landmark on Hagatorg square in the 107 district on the west side of Reykjavik, Iceland. The building is a well-known part of the skyline, standing next to the University of Iceland and close to the Vesturbæjarlaug swimming pool and the residential streets of the western district. The city centre and Austurvöllur lie roughly a 20-minute walk to the east, and several bus routes stop at or near Hagatorg, so the centre, the Old Harbour and the long-distance bus terminal are all reachable without difficulty. The setting is quieter and more local than the central streets, with a campus and residential atmosphere.
The hotel has a large, distinctive form that is recognisable from across the western district, and its upper floors offer wide views over the city, bay and mountains. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Business Class Rooms and Suites, with Business Class rooms aimed at corporate travellers who want extra workspace and services. Listed amenities are a restaurant, a bar, a gym and Wi-Fi. The restaurant and bar serve breakfast and evening meals and are typically used by both guests and visiting academics and conference attendees.
Service character is business-oriented, reflecting the Radisson Blu brand, though the hotel also works for leisure travellers who prefer a calmer base with lower rates than the old town. Indicative prices run from about ISK 24,000 to 42,000 (roughly $192-336) per night for a double room, which places it in the mid-range for Reykjavik. Guests often combine the stay with walks along the western shoreline, visits to the nearby National Museum of Iceland and the Nordic House, and day tours that collect from the hotel or from a nearby central stop. The wide choice of room categories makes it suitable for solo travellers, couples and small groups alike.
