Lastminute "Top Secret Hotel" in Reykjavik - know what it is?

Hi all - I am going to book a 3 night stay in Reykjavik in July. Its our 10 year wedding anniversary so we want to stay somewhere nice, but everywhere is so expensive. I found a lastminute.com top secret hotel for £255 for the 3 nights - can anyone help me identify which hotel it is? It is harder to work out these hotels now than it used to be!
The description is this;
"This four star hotel offer you a contemporary style with all modern conveniences in a warm Icelandic welcoming atmosphere. The high standard and good facilities will ensure a memorable stay for all the guests".
Does anyone have any ideas? It doesn't give any distances to local attractions to work from, and I don't want to end up outside the city centre.
Thanks!

    Sometimes if you stick a portion of the description into google it can take you to the hotels own site as they just 'borrow' the description from the normal hotel sites.

    No guarantee it'll work but its worth a go.

    Thanks - I tried that, it didn't work - they seem to have got a bit more clever in hiding their secret hotels!
    Any other ideas??
    Thanks for your help

    I did a quick search and almost the same description came up for that hotel :)

  • Out of interest, have you checked the Icelandair short break packages? They often do 3 night deals included return flights from around the £250 mark. One of the hotels they feature is the Hilton, so it could be worth investigating if the dates happen to match up?

    Have a look at http://www.icelandair.co.uk/offers-and-bookings/book-packages/packages/item189781/Iceland/ for more details.

    I think it's the Hilton Nordica as well, but for the amount of time you're going to spend in your hotel you can go on one of the Icelandair cheaper packages to the Cabin hotel.
    Really basic, but very good value for money :)
