Where to stay in Reykjavik

Super nice staff and multiple choice for breakfast. I will come back again next time

We are here as tourist. The hotel is not at downtown. We took bus to travel around. The bus system is convenient. Though the hotel belongs to a high class hotel group but the room quite basic. No amenities are provided. Not much eateries or shops are around the area. Hence we took bus to those places. The hotel lobby is nice.

Very good, clean hotel typical of the Hilton brand. Room is big enough, modern and well-maintained. Very good hotel for a good restful night after the flight to Iceland. Parking is free.

room was clean, friendly staff, was very helpful as well, didn't try the food but looks fancy, we could order in as well. 

The location of the hotel is a bit out of the way, but it was only used as a stopover so it didn't matter too much, and for travelling around Reykjavik we recommend booking another Hilton Curio Select hotel. Facilities in the room were fair and worthy of the Hilton name.

Beautiful hotel central location close to lots staff was great and hotel was clean!!

Fantastic accommodations. Very helpful staff and great room. We stayed here over the new year in room 457 which is a business class room. The room is spacious and quiet with comfortable beds. We had coffee, tea and complimentary chocolate. There is even robes and slippers in the closet. The food in the restaurant was exquisite and the service was excellent. The food is not cheap but worth it. Be...

The beds are comfortable but 1. I had a hard time finding my room 2. I could hear that my neighbours were doing some stuff through the door in my room 3. Breakfast didn't have much variety. This is a fancy hotel but my stay could have been better

Great stay at the hotel. Booked a room including breakfast. The breakfast had lots of variety and choices and fresh produce, some of it local. The hotel staff was friendly and available for all request and questions. The rooms were good and spacious, a little bit noisy because of the door between the two hotel rooms. Located perfectly in the city nothing is ever further than a 20 minute walk anyway

The rooms have good view of their snow-capped mountains. For now it takes longer though to move from the rooms to the ground floor since the hotel is presently undergoing renovation. Their Grilled restaurant on the top floor has 180 degrees view of the city. It serves good food & wine.

The refurbished rooms are nice and comfy with good beds. The old rooms not so good. Once the hotel is finished refurbishment it will be great. Only about 10min walk from town.

Very outdated. There are refurbishment going on but not finished until 2019. Room very tired. Mattresses sagged in the middle. Rang reception they didn't care. Rang later in the day they could do nothing as fully booked but moved us next day to an upgraded room. Some reception staff could be friendlier. Housekeeping very nice. Breakfast buffet selection is good as long as you don't want your food hot...

Breakfast not as good as the other Berjaya hotels. Same spread throughout our 4 breakfasts!!!! Good location for walking around but carpark a little further away from hotel entrance. Very close to return our rental car office. Lots of eateries around but it’s a problem getting a table. Front staff are pleasant but ineffective when issues arise.

This accommodation is quite well located, by walking for about 10mins able to reach a few places of interest in Reykjavik. The room though slightly on the small side, but still able to open 2 big luggages (walking space got abit tighter but still manageable). Bed was comfortable, however we found a stain on the bedsheet:( Overall, it was a nice stay👍🏼

Great location: great harbour view, close to city centre, usually get picked up first for tours. cozy boutique feel.

It is so nice, the room and the lobby environment is sooo cozy!!! Beyond my expectation!

Good vibe. Next to harbor as well. Good resting area at the lobby level . Separate room where you can chill or have discussion.

The hotel is cosy and comfortable. The breakfast starts at 7am which is a little late if you've got some day tours booked as you usually need to be out early, but they allow you to take away which is very useful. The location is good too as it's close to bus stops, the harbour, and the centre of Reykjavik. The room could have done with some more space to store clothes.

The best hotel in Lei City, with a good location, next to the sea view, ten minutes walk from the shopping festival, and next to the concert hall. The room is not big, Nordic style, very tidy and clean, with good sound insulation. Parking is at the door of the hotel, and there will be staff to help you park. The parking fee is very expensive, 400 RMB a day.

The room is comfortable, the transportation is convenient, the view from the rooftop bar is great, the restaurant on the first floor is very famous, reservation is required, but the taste is average, not as good as the Harpa rooftop view restaurant opposite. Overall it's not bad, but it's a bit expensive when booking, and it's 600 cheaper when I came back to check.

Great location, downtown but walking distance to main tourist attractions, main shopping street and nearby many restaurants. Rooms are very clean and well designed. The team was great and helpful, veryy responsive. The food options at the hotel are not the cheapest however I think its very worth its value, i found it super delicious.

A little expensive but still pretty good. My friend stayed in a small suite with a better view. My beggar room has no view at all. To be honest, it's just an ordinary five-star standard. But in Iceland, all right

Very comfortable, the location, environment and service are all great, close to the beach 🏖️, next to Rainbow Street, this time I encountered the Red Storm Hotel and it gave me a free delay

The room was spacious and we even got upgraded! Friendly and helpful staffs!!

Excellently located near downtown Reykjavik and the harbor. The rooms are as pictured, very clean, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Perhaps they could increase the breakfast selection and add one of those machines that allow you to select various types of hot drinks.

Stylish hotel in a central location. Delicious breakfast. The Junior Suite was perfect for our family of 4. Would recommend!

The room includes free spa, which is good, but there are too many people

This center bar hotel is much newer. Although the room is not big, it is very comfortable to stay in. The attitude of the lady at the front desk is also very good.

It's a little distance from the city center. Free parking is available in a public free parking lot nearby, which is a 5-minute walk. The room size is OK, but the facilities are average.

very good hotel and nice location and very clean. Staff very nice and I enjoyed staying here.

We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoy our visit. Michelle at the front desk provided exceptional service and we will book again for our next visit.

I stayed in Alda Hotel for four nights. The hotel is situated at the city centre of Reykjavik which is very convenient. The room was well furnished and comfortable. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful. They even prepared a "grab and go" breakfast for me on the last day as I needed to check out early for my flight. I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for...

The hotel is very cosy and the staff are very attentive to our needs. We have stayed there for honeymoon and they gave us complimentary upgrades of room with free wine and chocolate which is pleasant surprise too. The hotel is also central located. There is also free access to gym, sauna and outdoor hotspring too. Greatly recommended

I love the hotel location and cleanliness in the hotel room. It meets my expectations, and all is good.

Convenience place in town centre , services are good, clean and tidy but room is small

Breakfast is good as the expenses in Iceland is high and the booster is good to get rid of the coolness. The room is big with good partition at the entrance to dry the wet coat and shoe with the overnight warm conditioner.

Very nice ??, i’ve been with my school and we had no problem.

Stayed five nights in March 2018. Pleasant stay, good room, bed, and breakfast was very satisfying. Staff were helpful. Would recommend. One drawback was the hotel is far from city center but close to a mall with everything we needed. Gray line bus service helped with transportation needs. Traveled from USA via WOW Iceland airline.

Good hotel for it's price. Close to highway, but I wouldn't say it was a problem. Trivial ham-cheese-omlet-coffee breakfast was good.

I am Christie Varisano (Isaiah's mom) who just returned from Iceland and stay at Hotel Smari....it was a fantastic stay! The Staff being their best asset ...just wonderful and helpful always!!! Rooms were clean, beds comfy, and BREAKFAST was a wonderful experience of delights! I read another review mentioning some maintenance could be improved(which I would agree) but as with any home there is always...

Joyce Bertschinger here we (My BF & I ) stayed from Nov 13-17th. It was clean & comfortable! Breakfast was super, great! The four people we met working at the desk far exceeded our expectations . They where kind & courteous & very helpful !

Great service. The hotel is clean, in a very good and quiet area with restaurants and shopping centre near by. The reception is so helpful!

good place to stay in this city

Really cool place. Staff was completely amazing. Above and beyond. And the breakfast was one of the most amazing I’ve ever had! I’d go back just for that!! The berry juice was so good, and so much variety. The restaurant looks out over the lake. Hot tub was just ok. Area around the hotel very pretty. Room was very spacious and well appointed, if dated in style. Removed one star for a musty smell and...

Excellent staff and customer service! From check in to cocktails at the bar, it was a very enjoyable experience. Spacious room for our family of five.

Amazing place, extremely clean, beautiful decor, would recommend this place over any hotel downtown

Great view and facility and comfortable stay The facility is very nice, spacious, and comfortable. Excellent and friendly staff.

We came in late after long day . The room was ok but the building is pretty old , the light in the bathroom and main bed room is not working . We try to ask the staffs to help but it’s really late ( we checked in after 11pm) staffs was not at the desk by the time we needed help with. We are group travel and the coffee in the room only has two capsules. We have to go to the dining room to get our coffee...

Good to stay on a budget. The breakfast is fine and the stafff are helpful and bedrooms fine got to socialise with people over the world however the shower I was having problems getting the right temperature

For what it is, it's fine i guess. The room and the shower was clean, the rest not so much. The tables sticky, the floor old and thus not very appealing. Take care of your food! Ours was stolen from the fridge by other tourists. Not really a fault of the motel but still very uncool. If you are a light sleeper, the you shouldn't stay here! The road is very noisy. Not a problem for me but something to...

Nothing worse than a dorm room. I got to the hostel very very early in the morning (around 5am) and the staff in the kitchen let me sit in the restaurant and wait until i could check in at 2pm. I decided to go for a walk around 9am and the young lady behind the counter put my bag with her and watched it while i did that. they ended up being able to check me in around 10am. Was quite dirty when I arrived...

The hostel was pretty nice, the staff was helpful but not friendly at all. The kitchen was good, bathrooms clean. The only bad thing is that the beds are so extremely noisy, every time someone change slepping position 'even carefully', all the people inside the room note it. Breakfast is normal, but, it is better to buy something in bonus and cook it.

Stayed in a 16 person shared room. Room was clean and so was the bedding. Cleaning staff came in around 9:30am to start cleaning the common kitchen/bathroom areas. There were utensils and cooking supplies for solo travellers to use which was nice! Comfortable common spaces. The bedroom did smell slightly bad, I would argue that it was most probably because of the other guests hanging wet clothing/towels...

I stayed one night here and it was fine. The room was very hot even though we opened the window. We just couldn't find a way to turn down the heat on the radiator (possibly user error). The breakfast wasn't very good so I just ate some yogurt I bought at a store, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it.

It's OK, a little noisy on the street

They are very responsive, hotel is just next to halal restaurant and supermarkets my stay was perfect

This hotel is nice and convenient as right in the city centre. Can walk to most of the tourist attractions and restaurants. Clean room and helpful staff which made us feel great for our trip in iceland Highly recommended.

I stayed at the City Center Hotel in Reykjavik and had an excellent experience. The location is perfect: right in the city center, within walking distance of the main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Ideal for exploring Reykjavik on foot. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Despite being in a central location, the soundproofing was...

The hotel is located in the city center and is very convenient for restaurants and city attractions. However, the bar downstairs is open all night and is very noisy, which will affect your sleep. If you are sensitive to sound, you should pay attention. But the room is clean and has hot water.

Although I repeatedly emphasized that I could make up the price difference, the local guy at the front desk still upgraded the room for free and recommended local food. The hotel is next to the square, surrounded by many restaurants and a small and medium-sized supermarket.

Room is too dark, not enough lights. No outlets for charging devices.

The hotel was very nice and clean, the location was perfect. The staff was awesome and apecial shout out to Charlene, Artur, & George who treated us with wonderful hospitality!

Good stay. Perfect location! Polite and helpful staff. Great breakfast and happy hour. Nice relaxing hot thermal tub. Overall, very pleased with our stay here. The room had some areas that need improved (multiple areas with paint chipping, a window lock semi broke) but was spacious and nice to stay in for a while. Few issues with tv, internet and phone first night due to winds, but the staff handled...

Clean and welcoming. Fantastic location and friendly helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent and rooms were comfortable.

Room was too small. Whole hotel had a very dark, closed in feel. When we originally arrived in Reykjavik we stayed in the Centre Hotel Laugavegur. Although the hotel was further away from the centre of town, the rooms were more spacious and the rate was $90 per night less. The convenience was not worth the extra money.

This hotel is truly amazing and anyone going to iceland needs to stay at this hotel! The bacon is amazing and Arthur is truly a special human. I love this hotel so much and cant wait to come back.

Super clean hotel, wonderful breakfast, it's not very close to the center, but if you don't like walking 30 minutes there, you can take the bus that stops practically in front of the hotel. I highly recommend it.

A neat hotel, with a good breakfast. Very independent and well arranged with garage

It's not in the city center, but the flybus can go directly to the hotel entrance. The breakfast is OK. Self check-in is available. The room is not big. I only stayed here for one night and left in the morning. It's hard to comment on other aspects, but it's OK overall.

Room is much smaller than expected, and the value for cost and parking facility is low but manageable.

Self check in hotel, great facilities and parking. 10 minutes away from the center.

Close to the bus lines. The breakfast is amazing! It’s lot's of good stuff, but it gets changed from day to day. These people prepare on the same day, and not the night before. It makes a huge difference in the quality. The rooms are modern, well designed, and well lit. The plumbing is excellent as well. Some other hotels have sulfurous water because Iceland is on a volcano. These guys have it managed...

It was easy to find the hotel and my room. The code on the door was kept switching but eventually got inside. It’s not a luxury but you got everything you need. The kitchen has all basic stuff and even tea and coffee. It wasn’t busy and I felt safe there. I’m happy with my stay. A little walk down from the hotel and you reach this beautiful view which is gorgeous.

The location of the hotel is great, which is convenient to most tourists spots! The room is clean and comfortable! The service provided by the hotel is generally good as well!

Quaint little space at an awesome location. Basic amenities, good enough for a solo traveller

Good prices, good location, average room for solo traveller

Very convinient location next of dowtown. Well organized syetdm for Check in. Would recommend gor 1 or 2 nights with budget.

There is a common kitchen, When I left the hotel, I found that I had not taken the necklace. They found it and kept it.

Room was very small, couldn't walk down side of bed, but was comfortable

A very nice, new hotel that is part of/above a bar/restaurant. I just want to point out that there was no noise from the bar that I could hear (I was on the 4th floor). Aside from jarring elevator rides, I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was almost new, I had a balcony and it was close to almost anything I wanted to do. For those who want to do puffin or whale tours, it's extremely close to...

Room was clean and modern. Bed was comfortable, and tap water also great to drink. Receptionist was really kind and helpful. He guided us with the parking in Iceland and also upgraded our room without asking. Hotel is located on a quiet street, but you are within walking distance of city center. I would definitely stay in Local 101 again :)

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.

super cute little spot to stay for our stopover. parking wasn't as easy as other reviews implied, we had to circle around a few times before we found a spot.

4 dages tur til Island It was great! The staff were very friendly and you felt welcome as soon as you came in. A small but cozy hotel, and it’s the perfect place to stay when you’re in Iceland. Only thing I have, is the breakfast. It was alright, but we waited quite a long time for the items to come, I’m thinking that there only were 1 person in the kitchen. Small thing. Otherwise, everything was good...

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

We were pleasantly surprised, rooms are spacious and lovely and warm, we had to run the radiator down. Clean comfy beds, rooms tidied on a daily basis, tea trays restocked and lovely hot showers, with it being Iceland expect a slight smell of sulphur from the hot water. The continental breakfast is excellent, nice and fresh with plenty of choice, try rhe freshly made waffles mum. I am no good with...

Stayed here 6-9th March. The rooms are basic but did the job. Could be a little cleaner, dust on the lamps etc but the beds and bathroom were clean so that's the main thing. The rooms were very toasty, we had brought hot water bottles with us not knowing what to expect and we didn't need to use them once. The best thing about this hotel was the customer service. The staff helped us so much with...

This hotel was booked by the tour company and the reviews were good. We arrived after a stressful start to the holiday and immediately felt relaxed when we met Mike & Dido. They helped us to plan the excursions and suggest a place to eat, which luckily was a block away, as it was windy, cold and snowing. Would suggest you pay a visit to Ginger, the healthy fast food place. The rooms were a good size...

Pleasantly surprised by the room's size. Felt comfortable and safe. Quiet despite being very close to the reception area. Great location among the locals as another guest pointed out to me. Friendly & helpful staff (reception & housekeeping) Room was a bit warm but opening the windows helped. Free Wi-Fi. Would definitely stay again.

The staff at the arctic comfort hotel was amazing , nice room , nice continental breakfast . The friendliness of the staff was amazing . They went above and beyond to make my stay as good as it was . I will be coming back that's for sure

Awesome service. Great prices. Good and clean rooms with a mini fridge and electric kettle and good big windows. Also, just 5 min walk to all the nearby restaurants and supermarkets. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I'd stay there when I visit again for sure!

Nice facility. Staff could be nicer. The location is okay, but you still need a taxi to get to most attractions. There are a lot of stairs to go up. Breakfast is good. The bathrooms are very clean.

Great hotel for price, easy and accessible, simple check-in and check out process, staff were friendly and very helpful

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grimur hotel. The place was clean, convenient. Icelandic people are very friendly, but Zuzanna took it to another level. She helped us out so much and always with a smile.

Very good hotel, nice localisation and close to the city centre. We did not use the public transport but there's a bus stop in the front of the hotel. Big parking lot for cars and a supermarket on the building as well. Everything is self check-in. They send you codes and you don't need anything else. Very good breakfast, cozy and clean place. Staff very friendly and helpful but wi-fi was not working...

Great place to stay when in Reykjavik. Good clean facilities. You get the codes to enter the place and your room prior to check in and that's it. No staff needed. Hassle free check in and check out procedure. Decent location, 7 to 10 mins from the city centre.

Considering how everything around here is so expensive, this hotel is pretty great. I mean, it's still not affordable for some, but I enjoyed my stay here and that makes it worth the money.

We had a pleasant stay, clean rooms and had to share a bathroom but never had to wait to use and didn’t see anyone else. If you are a student/on a budget this is good value for your money. Location is also great— near bus stops for tours and in walking distance of many shops and restaurants.

I loved this cozy hotel. Access in and out was easy around the clock. Key drop off before reception opens was also easy. I stayed in an room with an en-suite bathroom and double bed, and was sad to leave when the time came. The bed was so comfortable and everything was immaculately clean. The location is fantastic. My daughter accidentally dropped the top of her contact lens case down the sink, and...

Brilliant location in Reykjavik. Walkable to most places. The room was very comfortable with a large and warm bed. Make sure you get to breakfast early, as they were running out of food at 9am. I would definitely stay here again. It was very welcoming and comfortable.

Stayed for 3 nights with a friend. Hotel location really good, just in the centre of the city. Room nice and warm with private bathroom ( I know you can book also rooms with sharing bathroom). The room could be little be noisy because of the thin window on early morning or late evening, with the hotel located just on main street where all the buses are coming to pick up tourist. Breakfast good, with...

The hotel is right next to one of the pickup points for all tours and buses, downtown shops and areas are perfect walking distance. The rooms are small but that's fine since it's mainly for sleeping and keeping your things while you explore. Some rooms have private bathroom, others have a shared one and it's about 3 rooms per bathroom, they are always clean but other guests aren't as clean with them...

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 stayed at R13 A Townhouse Hotel in a “Triple Room” with a private bathroom. There was a main bed, a single bunk bed attached to the wall above, a beautiful private bathroom and a kitchenette with a hot plate, oven, mini dishwasher, mini fridge, sink, dishes, utensils, cups, kettle and tea. Self check-in was super easy! They offered us an early check-in but I declined it since I thought we were...

very good value for money. Helpful and friendly staff, close to a big shopping mall 24/7 which is super convenient to buy food, living necessities like a shaver. Close to bus station, easy access to downtown. Have got a stunning view from my room.

This hotel apartment was one of the best that we have ever stayed in. For price, facilities and friendliness you can't go wrong. Situated on the outskirts of the city centre, we had many shops and restaurants nearby. The room was spacious with kitchen facilities, including a microwave oven, where we could cook our own meals. Having a fridge with a freezer compartment was handy too, for storing frozen...

I booked this hotel because I had a kitchenette and we planned on cooking to save money. However, there was not a pan in the room to even use the stove that is provided. Or a proper knife to cut an apple unfortunately. Or a rag to wipe down the counter. The dishwasher was a bonus as I didn’t know we’d have one but there was no dishwasher pods to use or even dish soap to wash our dishes. In the past...

good place to stay, would recommend to friends we had a good experience at this hotel - with check in, out, our room was lovely, there is a mini kitchenette although we didnt use it was nice to have if needed. would recommend to friends. free parking. easy to get to downtown or to go elsewhere.

Very friendly staff and extremely cooperative. Perfect place to stay for a couple
