Lovely hotel, modern and clean. Staff welcoming. We ate in the hotel on our last evening and had a lovely meal. Ideal location close to bus stop number 9 were your dropped off from the airport. Turn left and walk up the street for 5 mins and Alda hotel is on your right. There is a tourist information shop a couple of minutes up from the hotel on the same side which was a huge help👍🏻
Also, the number 9 bus stop is where you will pick up any trips you’ve booked while staying at the Alda hotel. We found it a great spot.

The mattress and the pillow are too soft. The bathroom water went slow. Location is good.

Excellent location, in the center! Great staffs service. They allowed us to early check in! It has hot tub and sauna and gym, it is small. We just came just sleep. Parking on street paying in meter. There are lots of restaurants and stores sorrounding! Excellent experience!

Nice clean hotel, staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location is great, minutes from shops, bars and restaurants but still very quiet. Plenty of bus stops close by too. The room was great, deluxe double with balcony. We managed to sit out there every night and see the aurora borealis which was incredible.

Great centre of Reykjavik hotel, breakfast is a wide variety and good quality

Nice location. Expensive for a very small room but perhaps common in Iceland. Toilet smells. Sometimes the toilet paper is not replaced.

Overall good and clean. Ventilation can be improved. Recommended

Being a bit harsh here. The staff were lovely at reception, bar and the cleaning team. The food and drinks were good. The rooms are very clean but small though and the "gym" was a bit generous in name. The showers were amazing, which is a must for me. But overall our stay was made lovely by the staff! The location also is amazing and having a Starbucks on site was great! Thank you!

I am honestly shocked this hotel is rated as a 4-star property, because the experience was nowhere near that level. From the moment we arrived, it was disappointing.
There is nowhere to pull up and unload your bags the street is a narrow one-way with barely any space to stop. There’s no parking lot, so you to walk about 7 minutes to an overnight parking lot just to leave your car which would be fine if they had people helping with bags.
When we checked in, no one offered to help with our luggage. They actually don’t have staff for that at all for this which is surprising and inconvenient for a “4-star” hotel. The front desk wasn’t friendly, and the overall welcome felt cold and unaccommodating.
The room itself was average and extremely small, definitely not what you’d expect for the price point.
To make things worse, at checkout right in the morning they immediately denied my check-out, telling me the housekeeping supervisor denied any late checkout today, something I’ve personally never experienced at any hotel. The attitude from staff was dismissive.
The only positive is the location, but there are plenty of other hotels in Reykjavik with great locations and far better service. We stayed in several during our trip to Iceland, and I would recommend others.
Overall, this property seriously needs to reevaluate what it means to operate at a 4-star level.

Strategic location. Near Bus Station #9 which is easy to access for flybys pick up & drop off and all the tours pick up & drop off. Walking distance to many attractions and eateries.
The room is okay, clean and tidy, has basic amenities.

Excellent lobster soup, tasty porterhouse steak cooked to perfection. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Ambient could benefit from some improvements.
06.04.2017
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.

A serious pizza to be fair. Great job. I'll be back again soon.
31.12.2017
Try the ravioli. Very good. Order a pizza to go. The quantity is so less you would feel hungry soon.
27.12.2017
F**ing disgusting. We were sitting next to the pizza maker. The heaters where behind us. The waiter then dropped our childrens pizza right in front of us, told us that they would make another one. The waiter put the pizza RIGHT ON THE HEATER BEHIND US. Then a few moments later he brought it back to us. Claiming it was a new one.
24.12.2017
Ok food, better to spend a bit more and get amazing food somewhere else

All meals look great but completely lack in taste.

Great pizza. ?
28.10.2017
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
They somehow lost my pizza, probably gave it away accidentally. Over 1 hour waiting. Also quite expensive. Avoid.
28.08.2017
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
Very quiet and nice place. The pizza was really good
