The Hotel
What a hotel. It was quite an experience to sit in a sauna on 25th floor looking out over the city. We had a lovely room with city view. The hotel is easy to access from the ring road and have a safe parking garage under the hotel (€35 a night though). It is also in a good/safe area of the city.
