Beds described as extremely comfortable, 'the comfiest bed I have ever slept in'. Effective heating system noted by multiple guests. Modern amenities in rooms including Nespresso coffee machines and kitchenettes in some units. Self check-in process is straightforward once access codes are received. Friendly and helpful staff according to several positive reviews. Breakfast described as tasty with good variety, though it costs extra. No staffed reception desk causes access difficulties; guests must rely on emailed codes which sometimes malfunction. Multiple reports of maintenance issues such as non-working lights, broken shower heads, leaking wet room bathrooms, and malfunctioning TVs. Cleaning service is inconsistent; some guests reported no towel or toilet paper replenishment without calling. Some guests found hallways and corridors dark, dirty, and with unpleasant odors. No elevator available, making luggage transport challenging especially for upper floors. Location is inconvenient without a car or taxi, with the nearest bus stop a walk away.

Description

Arctic Comfort Hotel in Reykjavik is a 3-star property built in 1995 and renovated in 2016. It offers a wide range of room types from Economy Single rooms to Superior and Deluxe rooms, including family and studio options. The hotel operates without a traditional reception desk; guests receive access codes before arrival to enter the building and their rooms. WiFi, a restaurant, a bar, and free parking are available on site. Rooms feature modern amenities like Nespresso coffee machines and some have kitchenettes. Heating is effective but can sometimes be too strong. Bathrooms are wet rooms, which may cause water to spill onto floors. Despite some maintenance and service inconsistencies, many guests find the beds exceptionally comfortable and appreciate the self-check-in process.

Location

The hotel is located in the Haaleiti district of Reykjavik at Sidumula 19, about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the city center. Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach is approximately 2.9 kilometers away. The Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV) is only 3 kilometers from the hotel, making it convenient for travelers arriving by air. Nearby dining options include Tian Chinese Restaurant (349 meters) and BK Kjúklingur (366 meters), both well-reviewed. While the hotel is somewhat removed from the busiest city areas and situated near an industrial estate, supermarkets and restaurants are within walking distance.

Tips

  • Make sure to arrange your access codes well before arrival to avoid entry issues, especially in cold weather.
  • Bring your own toiletries and towels or call ahead to request them, as cleaning services and supplies may not be reliably provided daily.

Well where do I start?
Arrived got in the halls are slum like. Got to room the main lights weren't working, cue call the number given for any issues, called 3 times before actually speaking to someone, they advised finding a staff room and taking lamps from there as there is no one on site!! Found lamps they were flat packed so had to build them and then separately find bulbs so an hour and a half after arriving finally some lights.
Day 2 came back to room to find no clean towels and no toilet paper, more phone calls and visit to store room still no toilet paper!! In the meantime some nutter running through the hall wanting to be let in his room as had Been locked out, finally a security guard turns up and sorts him out 2 hours later!! Finally we're let into another room to steal their toilet paper!! Next day still no clean towels apparently you have to call to get some!!
To call this place a hotel is a joke I certainly will not return and wouldn't recommend anyone go there!!!
By the way the funniest thing was when we called about the lights not working they asked for a picture!!! What of? Darkness!!!!

Despite the hotel’s somewhat unpreposessing location in the middle of what appears to be an industrial estate, we did enjoy our stay in room 501 here. Points of note- The hotel is approximately 2 miles from the centre of Reykjavik. So prepare to walk, hire a car or make use of taxis etc. We were told the hotel has no reception desk-and we never did see or find one. You need to contact them in advance to get your “access code” which unlocks the main door, your room door and then locks your room door on exit. The e-mail with this information went to our booking agents, and not me, so I had to call their call centre to get it re-sent. All while standing outside in temperatures below freezing. This code also will not work until 3pm on your arrival day. Luckily we were able to attract the attention of the housekeepers who let us in and let us wait while they finished cleaning our room. The bathroom is a wet room. So when you’re in the shower, the toilet will get wet. The sliding door also leaks so the floor outside also gets wet and slippery. The WiFi was also very spotty and wasn’t working at all on our last day, so the TV refused to work. And the heating while excellent, gets a bit overwhelming and may need turning down. But. The bed. Oh my word the bed. I wanted to pack it up and bring it home. Hands down the comfiest bed I have ever slept in ! Overall, it’s a good base and a place to lay your head at the end of the day. Would happily return.

No reception but they emailed us with the code to get in and the code to our room which all worked fine, no lift, main light not working but that didn’t bother us much as we had the big windows so there was plenty of daylight, didn’t see any cleaners, bad smell from hot water was everywhere in Iceland so no just this hotel, bathroom door didn’t close but other than that everything was clean and done the job, supermarket near by also which was good, big tv was good, and had fridge, coffee machine and kettle so overall was happy with the hotel for 3 nights stay.

The rate of experience definitely is dar better than the pat review. The hotel just need to focus of micro detail of booking such as breakfast , the capsule given for the coffee maker machine should be compatible . But above all , the experience is really comforting as the hotel names as. The room is well renovated, Their in house geo soap is great smell and relaxing. The shower is of good high standard rain shower feature. The hotel is best for light travellers as there is no available elevator. The location is perfect and not very populated busy area . Google map stated short walk distance to Bonus Supermarket which is best place to buy groceries . The hotel is known for pickup of tour packages, which is good criteria of choosing hotel when in Iceland.

We had Horrible experience we had in this hotel
- NO Reception staff
- Codes we were given were wrong which means we could not enter into the hotel we had to use international roaming to call their call centre which was staffed by overseas people!!
- No lift in hotel which means we had to carry our heavy bags
- Dark and haunting corridor
- Rusty pillars in corridor and inside our rooms
- No Shower Screen which means water was spilling ever when having shower!
- Stinky smell when having Shower
- The basin was so small
- No bin inside room
- No storage space inside the room
- TV was not working

AVOID THIS HOTEL IF YOU CAN!!!

Very easy to do the self check-in. I just wish there was an elevator but it wasn't too bad bringing my bag up the stairs. Very nice room.
24.10.2025 Tom
Clean and nice, but no change of towels.
No staff present. Digital communications only.
Not close to city centre, but lots of restaurants nearby. Overall a pleasent stay.
12.10.2025 Sabrina
There were many problems encountered with the hotel room here. The lights would not work when attempting to turn them on. The TV would randomly turn on at different points in the night, and it would play Chinese shows. The hallways smell very bad. The staff was unresponsive.
10.10.2025 GUILHERME
I was quite disappointed cleaning services are paid separately, but still a nice overall experience.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

Authentic Chinese food, deliciously prepared

Food came "too quick', not a very cozy place to have your dinner
08.11.2017 Susan
Food was tasty but barely warm by the time it reached the table, which was a real shame as otherwise it would have been pretty good. Again pretty expensive in relation to UK prices, but probably about the norm for Iceland. Service was quick, but we were the only people in the reasturant until just before we finished.
