Description

Hlemmur Suites is a 4-star accommodation in Reykjavik, originally built in 1930 and renovated in 2013. The property offers a wide variety of room types, including studios, deluxe apartments, and multi-bedroom units with options for balconies and ocean or city views. Guests will find facilities for disabled visitors, a lift, a bar on-site, and a pet-friendly policy. The hotel scores highly on cleanliness, location, price, service, and breakfast ratings, all receiving perfect 10/10 scores. While the rooms vary from apartments to studios, many guests appreciate the spaciousness compared to typical hostel dorms. The property combines hotel-style private rooms on upper floors with hostel-style dorms on lower levels, catering to different budgets. The front desk staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful throughout guest reviews.

Location

Located at Laugavegur 105, Hlemmur Suites sits just 2 km from Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV). The hotel is within walking distance of the city center and near popular restaurants such as Eldsmiðjan (202 m), Argentina Steakhouse (203 m), and Domino's Pizza (276 m). Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach is approximately 2.5 km away, offering a natural bathing option within easy reach. The hotel is also a main stop for tours and excursions involving ground transportation, making it convenient for travelers planning to explore the region.

Tips

If you arrive early, the friendly staff may let you wait in the socializing room and store luggage.
For quieter stays, consider booking a private room instead of a dormitory.
Bring your own snacks or drinks, as the shared kitchen can be cramped and sometimes unclean, and the on-site bar prices are noted to be high.

Policies and conditions

Child policies: Children of all ages are welcome at this property. Additional fees may be charged for children using existing beds. Add the number of children to get a more accurate price.

First off—I had a very hard time finding the entrance. There is not much signage to direct you to the reception. Also upon entering the building I wasn’t even sure if it was the correct hostel.
The rooms—nothing special. I had one bed in a four bedroom dorm. Large open area. Small windows with limited airflow. Hot room. Semi comfortable beds. The rooms and floors in the rooms could be cleaned a little more often.
The kitchen is ABSOLUTELY disgusting. I would not want to eat off of any of the silverware or plates. There is food everywhere, most of it probably expired. very smelly.
Bathrooms were dirty and cramped. The soap to wash your hands.
I didn’t use showers but if they were anything like the bathroom m, I wouldn’t of used them anyways.
It’s a perfect location to bus pick up if that’s what you need. Location is good for restaurants, grocery stores and souvenir shops.
Front desk staff was nice and very helpful.
However, I would not sleep here again. You pay for what you get.

Very clean, pleasant accommodations. Staff was friendly, and helpful if you needed any sort of assistance. Great place to stay, walking distance to most shops and bars with one inside of the Hostel itself. I would definitely stay there again, but would probably inquire into getting a private room.

10.08.2019 Adam

The front staff were friendly and always available. The room and all bedding were clean. The bathrooms were of a public restroom style and the showers were in a locker room style. The kitchen area was a bit cramped for countertop space with no place to store non-refrigerated foods. The refrigerator was packed full and was hard to find room for my items. The location and price were great.

20.02.2019 Tim

A good hostel/hotel. The students stayed in dorms which served the purpose and were clean with shared showers. Staff had comfortable rooms on the same floor or better rooms in the hotel above. Was a little crowded at one point as they had three big groups in, but they managed the breakfast sittings well. Good food in the packed lunches and for dinner was very good.

09.07.2018 Kim

The location is really great - walking distance to the city center, but also one of the main stops for any tours/excursions that include ground transportation. Beds were clean and comfy though the photos online make the (hostel) rooms look a bit more luxury than they actually are. The bathrooms (specifically the showers) were not great - tiny shower stalls with vinyl curtains that you have to try not to touch. Stayed for about 5 days and I don't think it was cleaned once while I was there. I would advise against including breakfast when you book - it wasn't bad, but it was very basic and pretty much the same every day. Great bar up front to have a nightcap or, in my case, wait out a snow storm. For the price and location, I'd still recommend it, but loses one star for the shower situation.

15.04.2018 Cassandra

The lobby, bar, bistro and lounge areas are wonderful. But the rooms, kitchens, bathrooms are yucky. At least four outlets in the 12 bed room didn't work. At least two of the bed lamps didn't work. The kitchen was a dirty disaster from people being pigs and not cleaning up properly. There were fabric seat cushions in the kitchen that we're practically black with stains and grime. There was a two person shower with dingy curtains to separate yourself. The toilet room has about four small stalls and the door to the room can hardly be opened if anyone is inside. There are drawers under the beds for your luggage, and they all seemed to have garbage or gunk in them.

The desk staff were wonderfully friendly and the lobby/lounge areas around the desk were clean and comfortable. Beer and wine at the bar were good and the bistro area has maybe a dozen tables for restaurant food service.

28.03.2018 Rebekah

The staff were incredibly kind helpful, I arrived 8 hrs too early for check in and they let me stay in the socializing room while I waited for a bed and allowed me to store my things if I had wanted to leave. The entire place is clean and it’s got a great community feel with pretty good social vibes. Was able to connect with people and get groups to travel with and go out with. The bar is nice but not cheap, I recommend buying alcohol in the airport or liquor stores!

09.03.2018 Josh

An amazing place to stay for are grip to Iceland. Good be quility and nice rooms which all much bigger then expected. The ground floor social area and shared kitchens allow for conversation between groups. A great place for food down stairs and good breakfast. This only problem is the few drunk users and the occasional broken bed light. Would come again.

30.07.2017 C

Location was perfect! Staff were very helpful and sincere making a great visit. Excellent craft beer bar in lobby with daily happy hour. We stayed on 5th floor hotel area. Comfortable accommodations - it is not a full service hotel so no coffee in regular rooms although coffee daily in lobby. Minibar/fridge, down comforters & pillows. Terrace was nice to enjoy morning coffee and evening drinks. Very easy walking into downtown. Good value and great place to stay.

I had 2 pizzas in this town. First one was in "No name pizza" place, and that one was outstanding. In this pizzeria it was just normal, good pizza. So it is safe to visit. But... It is just normal...

06.12.2017 Huw

Delicious wood fired pizza (you can see the pizza oven in the kitchen). Medium pizza was plenty for 1 person and reasonably priced compared to internationally well known pizza chains. Free fizzy drink refills. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only in Reykjavik for 4 nights, but having tried a few other restaurants here, we've decided to return to Eldsmidjan for our final night evening meal.

26.11.2017 Puddinanpie

Best pizza we've had! Staff friendly, fast service and great tasting pizza, highly reccomend. Well worth it and get more than your moneys worth

23.09.2017 Jonas

This pizza spot is right on the main shopping street in downtown Reykjavik. Nice beer selection and laid back atmosphere. My only negative comment here is the sauce. Very basic with very little flavor. Crust was excellent.

21.06.2017 Richard

Summary based on one dinner:
-very good pizza, easily comparable to just about any expectation
-service upstairs friendly, but can be a bit slow when busy, which is understandable. We didn't have to wait for seating.
-medium sized is good for dinner, perhaps small. We mistakenly got a large & a medium after ordering two mediums and had enough for another dinner the next night. Take away box provided and we weren't charged extra for the large.
-typical prices for this area
-credit cards accepted
-didn't ask about wifi
-parking wasn't an issue since we walked

Excellent lobster soup, tasty porterhouse steak cooked to perfection. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Ambient could benefit from some improvements.

06.04.2017 Daniel

Food was good, service was good, prices were as expected. Food prices in Iceland are very high compared to other countries, especially for beef. This premium steakhouse is no exception.

The service was pretty good compared to other restaurants I visited in Iceland.

Nothing about my experience was bad, but this isn't a *MUST GO* restaurant for tourists in Iceland.

Great pizza. ?

28.10.2017 Rebecca

Told there was a 30 minute wait for food, we were there for an hour and a half because they 'gave our pizza to someone else'. They didnt have a record of our order when it came to getting a refund. Total waste of time. If you're dead set on pizza go somewhere else.

27.10.2017 David

They somehow lost my pizza, probably gave it away accidentally. Over 1 hour waiting. Also quite expensive. Avoid.

28.08.2017 Some

Amazing pizza. The crust is thinned to the perfect size. The menu is completely in Icelandic, so it was hard to figure out, but very good either way

16.06.2017 Riccardo

Very quiet and nice place. The pizza was really good
