3 star hotels in Reykjavik

Nice hotel in an ideal location in downtown close to the shops in Laugavegur and bus stops. Reception was friendly and were helpful to answering any questions or requests we had during our stay. Rooms were small and basic but good if you're just using it as a place to rest during the night. Be aware that the rooms are not very soundproofed and that you may hear noise from the bar located across the...

Fantastic hotel in a great location, fantastically placed for the bus stops, the shopping in town or the nearby supermarket. Farooq was a great host, incredibly friendly and fantastically knowledgeable on all things Iceland even though he hails from West Yorkshire. We stayed in room 505 so was a bit away from any street noise, highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Second visit to this hotel. It maybe not the fanciest of hotels or the biggest, but the staff, location and cleanliness make this hotel fantastic. Front desk,Rushka and Farooq (who asked me to say he was the handsome guy) are first class. Nothing is too much trouble. Night staff and housekeeping are also great. This hotel does not have a bar but there are plenty nearby, so this for me is not a negative...

The hotel has a good location in the city center. The front desk service was excellent; a Pakistani man there even gave us a map showing us places to visit. The room was very nice and spacious, but the kettle leaked.

The location is great. The front desk staff were very friendly and recommended nearby restaurants. The breakfast was not luxurious, but very delicious. We were able to check in earlier than expected.

Well located. Walls are thin and could be noisy at night.

The hotel is centrally positioned. Staff are very helpful and accommodating. My plans changed and staff were very understanding.

Booked for a short stay with my son. Staff were very friendly and helpful, answering questions knowledgeably, around where to eat, directions, activities, ordering a taxi and using public transport. Hotel and room were very clean and in order. For the price it was very good value, and met our requirements. Nothing flashy, but good daylight and everything worked. Room was warm and cosy. Personally...

The location was great! All the bus stops are nearby, and there's a supermarket close by too. Highly recommend it.

The hotel is really in the center of the city.

All the staff is so welcoming and helpful. The room is small, but cleaning is perfect. Breakfast is simple, but good. I slept good, but shower pressure is not to good. I will recommend this hotel 🙂

The hotel is located in the center heart, just next to the rainbow road and surrounded by bars and restaurants. 10-minute walk to the nearest by supermarket, Bonus and very near to the Airport transfer bus stop number 14 and tourist bus stop number 6. Breakfast is offered to all hotel guests. Just one reminder there are a few steps before you reach the lift of the hotel and the reception is on the...

This is a good boutique hotel with rooms that give a quality feel. Excellent shower and balcony that added to my stay after enjoying my adventures in Iceland, I knew I would come back to a warm and clean room. The Breakfast was a great way to start your day. The only tiny issue was a loud door closing in the corridor due to a heavy spring closure. Great staff.

Excellent hotel, great views, and attentive service.

I was looking for an affordable hotel in Iceland, where prices are high, and I ended up here. The room was so small that I had to sleep on the bed, but the bed and linens were comfortable enough to help me relax and recover from my fatigue.

2-night stay The location is great and the downstairs bar is excellent. The breakfast is good but a bit hit and miss with some items. Coffee is excellent! The basic rooms are very small, so if with two suitcases gets cramped. Staff is lovely.

Good Spot Clean room and property. The front desk was very helpful and patient with our many questions about the area.

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the pier, and the staff are friendly. While there's no parking available, there are paid parking spaces opposite the hotel, and free parking is a 10-minute walk away, but ask the staff. Breakfast is simple, and the seating is limited, but perfect, with no waiting. Children can share a bed at no extra charge.

Our first check-in was quite stressful. We arrived around 3:00 pm but couldn’t get into the hotel because there was no reception and we never received check-in instructions. Luckily, someone who was inside helped us open the door and called the hotel for assistance. The room itself was nice and clean. However, for travelers without a car, be aware that the hotel is a long walk from most major sightseeing...

Morgenmaden var to go. Køkkenet var ikke fuldt udstyret men fint. Dejligt med cookies og kaffe gratis.

Great location and within walking distance of a lot of stuff! Only complaint is the room was slightly dirty upon arrival. The housekeeping left behind used cleaning towels, a glove IN the toilet bowl, and the shower had stuff from the previous people left behind. We did get breakfast down the street through the hotel each morning which was great!

Breakfast was good, maybe the best part of this property. Shower was old and gross. Guest room and breakfast room are very dark. Probably by keeping it dark, they can hide some dirtiness of the property? There’s a reason why it’s super affordable compared to other places around the area.

This is about a 12min walk to the edge of downtown. It is still within a lively area of hotels and restaurants. They have tried to update the interior which is fine, but it is a bit damp and has carpets in the main hallways. Heads-up they do not have a front desk or admin staff on site but they are very responsive through WhatsApp if you have any issues. I had to message them a couple times and they...

Great place if you need a room for the night. This is a 2 star hotel. It is very basic and an afforyolace to stay. The breakfast is awesome though! If you don't have high standards this a good place to stay.

Enjoyed my stay here, it was a good value functional hotel, spotless and warm, and our room was serviced daily. Parking outside made it a good base to explore the golden circle, Vík, etc. with a rental car. The managers are very helpful and friendly. There's coffee in the morning but no breakfast, but the manager recommended a nice bakery nearby with a discount for residents.

Very cute and clean! A lot of parking! The bed was super comfortable which was perfect after arriving late since our flight landed after midnight. Late check-in was possible, although we had a bit of trouble at first getting the code as they did not send it until we called. In the end they were very friendly and helpful. The location is great too, really close to a supermarket and a cute bakery. I...

We stayed at Hotel Heidmork for 3 nights and didn't faced any issues. The hotel is managed by a couple and is located few kms away from Reykjavik downtown but location is perfect when you are travelling Golden Circle and south coast. Would really recommend this amazing place.

Room is small but spotless. Nice bathroom. Very quiet. I would stay there again.

For us ot was really convenient. We stayed 2nights. Free parking. Nice hosts. Clean rooms. Quiet hotel, strong water power. There is always free coffee available. You get a 20 % discount of the closest bakery's Lindabakery. They have great sandwiches.

Nothing to do in the area. Good for a one night stop-over. No amenities. No cofee until about 9:00. Nice staff. Ony three TV channels. (they will say there are more than 3 but they duplicate)

Very warm wellcome and great travel advice when starting out our trip from Reykjavik.

Really comfortable beds, the bathroom floor was heated and we had a small balcony! The people were super friendly and their breakfast had all the basics needed. For a short stay it's great!

I stayed in this hotel for just one night. arrived in before the check in time but the staff still welcomed me. She checked my room to see it’s been cleaned so I could have my room earlier. She also suggested me the tourist spots around the hotel. And told me if I want I can ask for a sandwich to go tmr just to ask the clerk because I have to leave really early for my flight. Too bad I didn’t get...

Great experience. We had a problem with the code door when we arrived and someone was quick to respond and help! It turns out we didn’t check our email the day of and they upgraded our room for free. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast (included) was delicious and filling. Great location if you rent a car and plenty of free parking. Would highly recommend!

We were with friends for two nights, wonderful hotel, delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful hostess of the hotel. the rooms are very clean and smell nice. There is a cozy veranda and the opportunity to drink tea/coffee/cocoa with cookies at any time in the hotel restaurant. I definitely recommend the hotel, on my next trip to Iceland I will also stay here.

Hotel Lotus was our first hotel after arriving in Iceland. Although small, it was cozy and made us feel right at home. Free parking was available right outside, and the room itself was spacious enough to accommodate a large suitcase. The room was clean and tidy, with a separate wet and dry bathroom. Surrounded by residential areas, it was very quiet. The hotel also provided breakfast, and while the...

We were very happy with this accomodation! The day we left, we had to leave at 3 a.m. and were therefore to early to get breakfast. Knowing this, the very nice and helpful lady of the hotel made us some sandwiches, which were waiting for us on the counter. Recommended!

This hotel literally saved me a few others from a long day of exhaustion. They welcomed us in and we're so very nice and comforting. After a mess at the international airport which involved a power outage, freak storm, and hours upon hours of lines, culminating in false hotel vouchers from the airline (because the original hotels never received the voucher bookings because there was no power), we made...

Great place to stay for a night or two. Very close to the city center and also to the wharf. The beds were comfortable and every room has its own private bathroom which is nice. My only complaint is that they put us to the dining room/Breakfast room and it was VERY noisy in the morning when we were trying to sleep. Beyond that it was very nice and the staff were very accommodating.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Phoenix Hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, the beds were really comfortable. We had a small kettle to make tea and coffee which was good. Every night the beds were turned down and a chocolate placed in the pillows which was a really nice touch. The 2 managers were lovely, they couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good too. All in...

The hotel is located very centrally in Reykjavik allowing you to reach every location on foot. The rooms are very clean and the service is excellent. The owners are always happy to share their insights on where to go or to give you directions to where you need to get. The breakfast is plenty to take you a long way through the day. Definitely recommend staying there

Absolute gem of a hotel. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud, so soft and comfy. Lovely and warm without the need to put the radiators on. Although we did use them to dry our clothes after a really rainy day. Everything you need is provided, especially if you do hand luggage only like we did. Hairdryer, toiletries, water, tea and coffee! We did bring our own towels for the secret lagoon and local...

Fabulous hotel in the centre of Reykjavik. Beautiful rooms snd very clean. The breakfast is fantastic. The hotel is on the main street in Reykjavik but in a quiet area. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us nice tips and information about Iceland.

A wonderful little hotel on the main street in Reykjavik centre. The hotel is beautifully decorated and very clean. The two gentlemen running it are very welcoming and gave us good tips on what to see in Reykjavik and around the city. Breakfast was fantastic.

Very nice small boutique hotel in the centre if Reykjavik. Very clean and beautiful decor. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was phenomenal. It’s on the main street but in a very quiet area. The bed is one if the best I had in a hotel room.

The accommodation was adequate, room was warm, beds comfortable. Kitchenette had kettle, microwave and fridge but no cutlery or crockery, we had to ask for it. The shower was very small, it was hard to move once you were in and difficult to control water temperature. Cheap accomodation.

Great location right near Hallgrimskirkja Church, easy walking distance to everything. Great for a short stay. I stayed the night before my ringroad tour and the night after and had a room on 3rd floor both times. Comfy bed and room was clean. Small kitchenette with microwave, kettle and fridge. Good single rooms for solo travellers at a decent price for Reykjavik. Bathroom small but useable. Decor...

Ideal for a quick stop before traveling on. Ideal location right next to Hallgrimskirkja church. Easy walk or bus to down town, where loads of restraints. Only 1 pillow which was very flat and toilet could do with a bit more of a clean. But generally very nice room.

Given an 'Average' rating, but this was perfectly acceptable for what we paid for the room. Very convenient for the town center (an easy walk down to road puts you on the high street), well placed for bus/taxi pick-up and put-down. Good value for money.

Not really a hotel. No TV or Kettle. Kitchenette with sink and microwave? Breakfast not available until after 09:00 in the Vietnam restaurant which also acts as the reception! Good location though. Bed & bathroom clean, but with a couple of cockroaches

Close to the cathedral and the bus station, the environment is quiet, the rooms are clean, there are many places to eat around, there are plenty of people, and the house prices are cost-effective. It is recommended

Needs some improvement with kitchen supplies. Not too much of glasses for drinks. Just beer or another beverage glass

Good location, I will choose again this property

Good basic accomadation Good value for money but this is not a luxury hotel. Buses to city center nearby but it is out of town. Plenty of parking. A bit slow at providing us with room access details.

It was a different experience with no person to contact regarding questions. Questionable neighborhood, but in the end it was OK.

Curious stay, because check-in simply happened by phone for us to communicate that we’d arrived, to get the code to enter, and to know what our room number was. The place is clean and it’s a big three-floor house in the outskirts of Reykjavik, which is an interesting area to stay in, too. It’s right next to a big park and a school, very quiet and cute, and there are two huge and very soft cats in the...

This is a "self-help" facility. There is no staff. My room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. But shared bathroom and kitchen could use some TLC. The location is great if you have a car, but way out from the center (40-50 minutes by bus), so beware.

Convenient location with free parking. It's a short walk to the city center and great for chasing the Northern Lights by the sea. Breakfast was just okay. The hygiene was good.

Great location, very clean hotel, and you can even see the cathedral from your room. It's within walking distance to Rainbow Street, the Phallus Museum, the Concert Hall, and Little Elephant Supermarket. Plus, free parking!

Solo trip. The location is excellent. It's about a 15-minute walk from the airport shuttle bus terminal, or you can arrange a drop-off. For day trips, the bus stop is #8. The room faces the church and has a kitchen. However, rooms facing the church also face the cemetery behind it. Of course, this is quite common abroad. Just tell yourself it's good for promotion and wealth. The hot spring water has...

Highly recommended, a perfect score! The location is right next to the cathedral, and bus stop 8 is just a 3-minute walk away, making it ideal for day trips. It's very clean; even though it has shared bathrooms, they are spotless. You can see the cathedral right outside the window!

I didn't have high hopes for this hotel, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The location is fantastic; the church is right outside the door, and I was so excited to be staying so close to it when I first arrived. There's free parking available at the entrance, but it's first-come, first-served. I stayed for two nights, and even though the bathrooms are shared, everyone kept them very clean...

The location is amazing, the room windows looked directly at the Hallgrímskirkja church! The room is small but comfortable, the bathroom is clean. The staff is very friendly.

Evrything was good except that apartment had a strong fishy smell that just wouldnt air out in the 3 days we stayed there.

It's OK The room was large and nice accoring to the decription. There was actually everything available what you need. The location (in case you have a car) and environment is great (parking, gym, foodstire etc.). There are just a few things which should be maintained and fixed. I stayed there 7 days, there was no cleaning at all and you have to organize new towels and bedsheets by yourself by finding...

Access to laundry was a nice convenience. Self-check in was simple. Only minor inconvenience was the mini fridge didn't have a freezer section.

I chose this property for the washer dryer. It was a disaster. The circuit kept tripping. Had to make a call. There’s only one set for the whole floor and the dryer never did dry the clothes. I had to hang my clothes all over the apartment. The shower and sink drains were clogged and the night light switch was broken next to bed. Also only one sleeping pillow per person.

Good location for driving into the city, free parking, and clean. We appreciated having a small kitchen to prepare our own food, with dishes and cutlery provided. Check in was smooth but it was hard to get sheets and pillowcases for the sofa bed (they were not in our room upon arrival and we had to go find them ourselves on another floor). No blackout curtains - the curtains are red so the best you...

Modern apartment near a grocery store and bakery. The unit itself was clean but lacked some amenities. There were no black out curtains so it was bright at night. The shower basin was too small and you had to shut the shower off several times to let it drain so it wouldn’t flood the floor.

It was a good experience in Iceland however there’s very less amenities which is only beds toilet in the room and even there’s no microwave in the hotel.

The bed in the room was too soft, and I woke up with a backache. Also, the customer service was too slow to respond, and the room was completely empty.

It’s a very good location with decent price. The postcards are the cheapest I can find in the city. You’ll have access to nice food place from there.

Very convenient location just opposite bus stop no.9.

Jack at the front is very nice. The room is simple, but very nice people and yes, it was clean. Great price,Great location, and we will share to come back. Mr. Canada 🇨🇦

As location is in City, parking is an issue and extra cost. Shared showers were a mixture of standards. Kitchen was not regularly cleaned.

We had an amazing stay here. The hosts were very kind. The rooms were nice, clean, quaint and cosy. The breakfast was homemade and tasted amazing. Overal a great experience, would recommend this to anyone visiting Reykjavik

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming bed and breakfast right in the heart of Reykjavik! The owner´s warmth and hospitality made us feel truly at home. Breakfast was delicious and carefully prepared, so thoughtful! We stayed in the upper floor, absolutely loved it!

What a perfect stay and a perfect host. Arrived having received clear instructions for parking ( paid garage across the road ) and check in . We had the side annex , with its own door entrance. Very well equipped with kettle , microwave , fridge , Tv ( didn't use ) and WiFi. Large comfortable double bed , single duvets which seen common in Europe ( not so in the UK ). Spacious bathroom with washing...

Staff was good, room was too bright the door needs some type of curtain

This place really is a treasure. Perfect location in the center of Reykjavík. Beautiful historic architecture and extremely clean. Breakfast in the morning was great… with lots of local treats. We enjoyed talking with our host and meeting some of the other guests around the table. We would highly recommend this quaint and charming guest house!

Very sweet and perfectly located. The host is very charming , the community breakfast table was a fun way to meet other travelers. Our bedroom was rather small which made it a little uncomfortable but it was cozy.

Perfect place to spend a night or two as good location and comes with kitchen and laundry facilities. However check in can be a nightmare if your booking platform does not update you with check in instructions

The location was fantastic. Check in was easy. Staff seemed to come in regularly and take out the trash and tiddy up the bathrooms. The couch for the third person to sleep on was awful. There was a lot of mold in the shower and the drain didn’t work well. You had to continually shut the water off during your shower so it didn’t flood the bathroom. Staff was notified and they were able to have maintenance...

The room trash was not emptied and there was no indication where you could take it yourself. The humidity was quite high. The traffic noise was reasonably loud.

Great central location and value. You will share a bathroom so make sure you are ok with that. Having a kitchen available was great. Staff was helpful when I needed to speak to them.

Bathroom/Toilet is not as clean as expected

The rooms are clean for a budget hotel but the walls are paper thin. I can hear everytime someone takes a poop and when he goes to the shower or uses the tap. There is only 1 bathroom at every floor with the sink, toilet and shower in the same room so it cannot be used concurrently. This means we have to wait >30mins for each person to poop, then shower etc. You can only imagine what it is like on...

Close to the BSI main bus station (airport bus drop off) about 10-15min walk. Self check-in is possible if you arrive late in the evening. You will be given the passcodes for entrance to the building and also to the rooms. You just have to contact them. As for my room, I stayed in a single bed. It is small but all good. It has its own sink which is pretty useful for doing skin care. It also has cabinet...

Excellent location. Very near the BSI bus terminal. Getting around the city is easy on foot or by bus.

I think it's great for groups of friends traveling together. For couples, the room might be a bit basic, but the kitchen and laundry facilities are really convenient, making it perfect for a more budget-friendly trip.

1st night in Reykjavík, our room located at after entrance need to go down one floor with twist type staircase which is so torturing for us, due to 3 of us with three 28cm suitcase and also our hand carry bag. Kitchen and dining area was good and all kitchen utilities is fully equipped, we expected oil is provided but is not One small problem is the water shower is very slow and the shower curtain...

This hotel offers decent value for money in Iceland. The elderly gentleman at the reception provided excellent service. Although the bathrooms are shared, they were very clean. They also offer a €5 breakfast. The location is superb, within walking distance to both the bus station and city attractions. The only minor drawback is the soundproofing; you can hear footsteps in the hallway. Everything else...

The curtains in the room were broken, so we couldn't close it fully. The fridge was little smelly too. The water had a strong sulphur smell. The location was okay.

We enjoyed your stay at Guesthouse Galtafell. The parking available is free street parking, we went in late February 2026 and had no issue with finding a park close by. Rooms were quiet and safe. Good heating and a large bathroom. On our first night we had issues with the shower water not draining, we emailed and they had it fixed within hours. Although this wasn't communicated to us which was disappointing...

Very nice guesthouse situated in a quiet area, yet close to central city. Owners contacted us before arrival to instruct about access to our room. When leaving, my daughter forgot her gloves and hat in the room. The owner contacted us and arranged sending the items to Sweden. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Galtafell. It was very clean with great amenities and a spacious bathroom. The hosts are also very kindhearted and let us keep our luggage there post check out while we went on a day trip. Thorey and her husband go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and special.

This suited us perfectly for a three night stay. The building looks great from the outside. The room was a little quirky but clean and functional. Beds were comfortable and if you like a cheeky afternoon nap (like me) the sofa is also comfortable. Easy to check in and out. No hassle or fuss.

Our family stayed in a 3-bed apartment and it was absolutely perfect for us. Could not have asked for better setup for our group. The room and bathrooms were very clean, high ceilings, windows that could be opened to let crisp air in, quiet residential neighborhood, and within walking distance to downtown. We had a kitchenette which is very helpful when trying to save some money by not eating every...

A really great place to stay whilst staying in Iceland! The staff members were super helpful and attentive, even Fram the dog and JellyBelly the cat! The room was perfect for two of us, the beds were super comfy and room had everything we needed for our 5 nights away! Thank you for a great stay!🌌

Fantastic location, spacious and has everything you need for your trip.

Comfortable with lots of space - location is ideal for tourists

Room was very clean - information provided for check in and out was clear and helpful - location is great location - right in the city centre

Excellent location with the rainbow road right outside,lots of bars and resturants on your door step excellent communication from vladimir when i had to ask questions regarding propery and parking. The apartment was just the right size for 3 of us beds were very comfortable and rooms were lovely and warm we had a great stay

The location of this accommodation was fantastic - so central and close to everywhere, right at the heart of Reykjavík, close to the old harbour and many shops including supermarkets close by. Getting in to the apartment was a little unclear. We were sent the codes in advance but the code for the key box was very small and instead the code for the front door was the one we were trying - the code for...

We were nine women traveling together, and the apartment was spacious with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There was plenty of space and all necessary kitchen equipment was available. It’s located right in the city center, within walking distance to most places. Unfortunately, there was some dampness in the rooms. The staircase up to the apartment had a strong, unpleasant smell, so we had to hurry...

Beautiful venue, would highly recommend. Had been doing the ring road in a van that would last couple of days was so wonderful to come into such a cleanup, aesthetic, and calm environment to spend the night again. The breakfast was a big highlight, it’s not very often a hotel breakfast tastes like a home cooked meal!

Originally we did not receive the code for the floor door, but the help we received was good. The room itself was very neat and tidy, and had all the equipments we need to make our stay comfortable. There is a bonus 5 mins walk away if you need anything and the location of the hotel is ideal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding stay – highly recommended in Iceland! Our stay at Blue Mountain Apartments by Heimaleiga was truly exceptional. From the very first contact until departure, everything was perfectly organized. The team is incredibly flexible, caring and responsive. They reply very quickly to questions and requests and genuinely go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This...

It was very neat, tidy!! Loved that it had a cooking station! Did coffee and tea every day!! Staff was not to friendly, but i found alot of Icelanders were not on the very friendly side unfortunately!

The apartment had everything although there is questionable staining above the one window and lots of moisture around the window. Kitchen table has lots of scuff/tear marks in it which does not give the impression of care for furniture. Coffee provided are open and not individually packaged or sealed. The spare duvet for the pullout couch was also stained :( Water is hot and great pressure. Safe...

We booked 3 units for 2 days and everybody is happy for this clean and spacious properties, highly recommended

This is not a 5 star accommodation as in luxury etc. But it by no means deserved a 4 star review , so I had to give it 5. Lovely and cosy and clean. Very very helpful and friendly staff. We also had the breakfast basket added and it was fantastic, such a lovely treat every day. Would highly recommended both for couples and especially for families.

We absolutely loved our apartment which had a separate double bedroom and twin beds in the living area. Having a sofa, kitchen and dining table was lovely - it felt like being at home. the breakfast baskets delivered to our door were very generous and good quality. The kids loved having a PlayStation! Good location close to the main shopping street and places to eat. Highly recommended.

Superb! Comfortable and well equipped. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Hugely good value and right in the centre of the city. Would absolutely recommend and will only stay here when we come back! Absolutely lovely!

Great apartments, spacious and luxurious with lots of complimentary food and drinks. The apartments are in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from the city center and the main shopping street.

Really a great hotel in the suite type style. Clean, immaculate, and a great central location in Reykjavik. Staff is very helpful. One staff member called back a tour bus after we had accidently missed the departure time. Definitely, worth the price!

Lovely place; the Christian X Suite is great
