Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel in Reykjavik

Helpful staff and convenient location to restaurants and supermarkets.

The hotel is in a great location, about five minutes' walk to the beach. It's super cool to run along the coast. You can see the sea from the double room window! It's very convenient to walk to anywhere! The room design is Balinese style, the toiletries are very useful, the fish salad fried chicken for dinner is delicious, it's the first time to have sweet and sour fish, and I'm super satisfied when I return to the hotel hungry after a day trip! Free coffee is provided all day, the service attitude of the staff is good, and there is a supermarket behind the hotel

The hotel is very comfortable, warm and stylish

The hotel is clean and sanitary. There is a supermarket nearby and the restaurant is a 5-10 minute walk away.

The room is very clean, very Nordic, and the service is good

This hotel has a Thai style. I stayed for 4 nights. It is clean and has no odor. It is cleaned every day. I am very satisfied. Free coffee and tea are available all day long. It is good.

Excellent location. Airport transfer bus, Northern Lights and other activities buses, drop off and pick up in front of the hotel, no need to wait at bus stop. 

Supermarket near by, just a few minutes walk. 

Nice view from hotel window, refer to picture.

We started our travel to Iceland by driving around Iceland in a campervan, so we were hoping for a relaxing hotel stay in Reykjavik at the end of the trip when we pre-booked. We were not disappointed by the Eyja Guldsmeden. The location was only a few blocks away from downtown where there were tons of shopping and dining options, and the hotel itself was beautiful. In the lobby, we grabbed (included) coffee in the mornings and a reasonably-priced drink for happy hour. The service at the front desk was friendly and cordial. The room itself had a nice view of the mountains and was warm and cozy. It was a great stay and we would definitely go back to this hotel again if we are ever back in Iceland!

Our only difficulty, understanding this is mostly outside of the hotel's control, is that some of the sidewalks on the walk to downtown were extremely icy and slippery after a day or so of wintry mix that froze over. We had to be extremely careful making our way down to Laugavegur, which had much safer sidewalks. There were even a few buses and cars that couldn't make their way up or down the icy, hilly streets and had to work their way around. So if you are going in the Winter, be cautious and walk slowly!

The room design is consistent with the entire hotel design. The heating is sufficient. It is also good that the airport flybus can deliver to the hotel door. It is just a long way from the center of Reykjavik.

Good location. 10 min walk to Reykjavik Downtown. The supermarket was around the corner. A coffeeshop was nearby. I was here because of the Reykjavik Marathon 2024.
