Tge front desk staff, he gave me suggestions and helped me book the show ticket. He gave me clear instructions and seeing my lost look , even gave me the hootel phone numbers to call him in case I run into trouble
Foss hotel Reykjavik is a great place, conveniently located next to Bus stop 12 where all the tour operators pick up and drop off as well as Fly bus tdrop off and pick up. The hotel is very clean and safe
I have a fantastic experience with the staff in front desk and house keeping. I was a solo traveller and I asked guidance to the front desk on some places that i wanted to go within and near Reykjavik
But the housekeeping folks while cleaning did not even touch any valuable stuff that i left. It is really a very reliable and safe hotel. They have a restaurant that serves delicioys food
But thanks to his clear guidance I managed to navigate well and had a great day out. This hotel is about 15 to 20mrs from city centre by walk. One day I forgot my gold chain in the room
I ate their fish and chips and chicken salad. The breakfast has a good spread. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The best part is still the excellent service from the staff
Had a great stay at this hotel. The booking was meant to be for a twin room but initially was given a double. After a bit of searching the staff managed to sort out a twin room for us
This is my first time visiting Iceland, and I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with ample room and a big, cozy bathroom
Everything was great except for the slightly out-of-the-way location. The facilities were complete, breakfast was plentiful, and the service was attentive and enthusiastic.
The reception staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely consider staying here again if I visit Iceland in the future
The hotel is located in what's arguably the most popular area for hotels in Iceland. It's about a 10-minute drive to the harbor, museums, and shopping spots
The rooms are quite spacious, but the bed was a bit too soft for my liking
Great location. The staff were rally friendly and welcoming. My room was perfect and very warm and cosy. There is a spa but I didn't use it. The food is the restaurant is excellent and I recommend a visit there.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe of the hotel felt welcoming without being overly formal. It struck a good balance between functionality and comfort, which worked well for our audience
Beautiful modern and clean hotel in the center of Reykjavik. Everything is walking distance from here. In front of the hotel there is a beautiful record store, if you like music you might get lost in there
Fantastic hotel right in the centre of town! Close to all the bus stops for tour pick ups and loads of nice places to eat. Staff are super friendly and the room was clean and large for a city centre hotel
The location is very convenient, close enough to walk to shops, restaurants, and pick up points for tours, but still felt calm and manageable for a group
This is a great option for travelers looking for a reliable, well located hotel in Reykjavik that works nicely for both individual travelers and groups
Lovely hotel with great facilities including a wonderful spa (extra cost for standard guests). Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Buffet breakfast was excellent and worth paying that bit extra
Its location is however a fair walk out of town (and beyond the bus station). We coped because we’re happy to walk, but there’s a lot of construction going on in the area, which made part of the walk a difficult one
For those who are planning organised day trips: due to it's location this hotel is the first pick-up point for most travel companies. This means you'll always sit with your travel companion!
Hotel staff was very friendly and cooperative. I was staying with my wife just for 2 nights and we both are satisfied. Hotel window view was amazing. only 8-10 minutes walking distance from bus station
Comfortable hotel a short walk from the city center. The room we had was big, with a lovely bed, a bathroom that was clean and spacious enough and all facilities you might need
The breakfast buffet was good, as long as you stay away from the waffle irons and the espresso machine if you have only a short amount of time (they have very tasty filter coffee at the other end of the buffet, no queues there)
The harbour, waterfront, shopping streets and main attractions were all at most 20 mins walk away in different directions (except Perlan which was 30-40 mins). I didn't have to use any transport apart from going on tours
I got a bus from the airport to there and caught two different buses for tours to the golden circle and the northern lights as well. As a solo traveller this was perfect as there was nothing to worry about
There was also a free shuttle bus there to Grandi area. There were numerous restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and bars in close proximity. You didn't really need to go very far after a long day out
The service at the hotel was excellent. Friendly and professional staff. Always someone available with a smile. The cleaning staff were extremely polite. My room was super comfortable
I stayed here for 5 nights and couldn't fault anything with this hotel. A short 3 minute walk to bus stop 1 at the city hall
Yes, there were a few noisy guests who didn't know how to open and close doors quietly but I think that's expected in hotels as long as they are at appropriate hours, which they were
The sauna and relaxation areas are not huge, but offer a nice opportunity to unwind after a long day out in the cold weather. The staff are friendly and happy to help with eating suggestions and deals available
The location is excellent, within walking distance to the city's popular attractions, restaurants, cafes, etc. The room is relatively small, but comfortable. The bathroom is relatively small, especially the wash basin
Hotel is in a great location (close to bus stop 5 which you'll get why knowing bus stop numbers is ideal as this is where you wait for yours to pick up or bus to the airport)
Breakfast is good and close to harbour means nice views. Just come with an idea of spending more than you think as that is how Iceland is!
Blue Lagoon is a must
The room facilities are complete and the space is quite large. It's very close to the pier, making it a great choice if you're planning a whale-watching trip
The hotel sits on a street corner, with easy access to the city centre and a nice view of the harbour. Clean and warm, with enjoyable breakfast
The only thing was the shower is the room wasn’t working at its best, only the one showerhead was working. In the area there isn’t a lot so you have to drive. Overall though the hotel was very peaceful and relaxing
Other than that we had a great stay, the pull out bed for our daughter was far more comfortable than the one in others we’d stayed in. The staff were lovely and very accommodating
Highly recommend!
We stayed in one of the rooms with the private hot tubs. The room was very spacious and well laid out. The rooms were very clean and so was the hotel
The only negative I can say is that the shower was really tight, the two doors don’t really work well
They also had great recommendations for tours!
Otherwise the room was pretty standard size, squeezy for 3 people, would be fine for 2. Didn't manage to try the hot tub as it was full with patrons. Do not forget the complimentary drinks, Cheers!
Stayed here for one night before a glacier tour. It’s the closest hotel to the meeting point for the tours. The rooms are spacious, beds comfy, the food at the restaurant was INCREDIBLE! Especially the beef tenderloin
Absolutely perfect! The hotel offers an aurora service, and we witnessed a massive aurora display right outside the hotel entrance! The cleanliness was also excellent, and the beds in the standard room could be pulled apart
The best hotel near to the Glacier. The sauna and hot tub are amazing. The receptionist is very welcoming. Coffee ans tea are so delicious. Would come back.
They provided a surplus of clean towels and a very nice area to dry off indoors. The rooms had huge windows facing the ocean for a great sunrise view. We ate at the restaurant here at 6pm and were amazed by the food
The hotel's location is excellent. It has hot springs, a sauna, and even an aurora wake-up service, which is a really nice touch.
We enjoyed our one night stay here and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing Iceland vacation place to stay. It was one of the only hotels available in this small town so you may have no other option
Breakfast each morning was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the hotel’s happy hour at the bar — ring the bell for service. There’s also a cozy spa and a small gym available for guests (exercise bikes and dumbbells)
Great spot, central to alot of amazing places in Reykjavik. Clean, comfortable, and friendly staff. Perfect spot for walking and exploring the city. Morning breakfast was full of yummy options, and easy on the wallet
If you’re joining guided tours, Bus Stop #6 is only a three-minute walk away, which made everything incredibly convenient. The staff were super friendly and welcoming throughout our stay, always happy to help
The staff were warm and welcoming, the hotel bar is a nice addition. As pricy as iceland can be, it was the best choice for me. Thanks to all the staff

Free parking is available along the residential edges of the city center and at a free lot near the church, and with the Easy Park app, managing parking was simple
I stayed for 13 days, room 305. I felt so much at home I didnt want to leave. Location, can't really beat it, the sushi across the street was to die for
But believe me the calm that prevails over this hotel makes everyone relax and the three of us will come home relaxed and calm after the wonderful two nights we had here and the best thing is that most everything is within walking distance 🤗
A small patio with a couple of chairs and a table was part of the room. The breakfast was also very good, and it was an extra plus to have a pool at the back of the hotel, free for all guests to use
Excellent breakfast and very clean.
Hotel Örk stands out for its excellent breakfast with plenty of variety. The rooms and common areas were very clean and well maintained. A comfortable and pleasant stay overall.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Clean, spacious, comfortable room. All of the staff were helpful and welcoming. The breakfast had too many options to mention and the atmosphere was relaxing and refreshing.
My plane was diverted to Iceland for an emergency and passengers were sent to this hotel. I was surprised how clean, modern and nice this hotel was. Spacious rooms, spotless clean, with super friendly staff
I also liked the surroundings with Reykjadalur, The Geothermal Park and several cafes and restaurants, grocery store and gas station nearby. We ate at The Greenhouse, which was easy and good
It does not feel like a standard hotel because it is a dorm used as a hotel during summer - which is perfectly fine! When I had an issue with my room the manager helped me out great and went above and beyond what he was supposed to do! Thank you
Great accommodation, clean and with a beautiful view of the village. The responsible crew at the reception and also the cleaning team. I enjoyed staying there, will come back soon surely! :)
I was a bit worried initially from some of the bad reviews but actually pleasantly surprised. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Yes it’s a university building some time of the year but actually really good
The front desk staff, specifically Kasper, went out of his way to try and help us brainstorm solutions for putting through an insurance claim for a chipped windshield
Fun with the corridor names, I was in Jotunheim myself, which was a bit worrying, but I had my Thor's hammer with me so I was safe
😁
Joking aside, nice hotel for me, good distance to everything, good service and nice staff
Our first visit to Reykjavík, and Borg Hotel was the perfect choice. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city and within walking distance to so many great spots
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We also loved the beautiful Art Deco motif that gives the hotel so much character and charm
We had so many questions being our first day in Iceland and Claudia was amazing giving us recommendations for restaurants, shops and the northern lights viewing locations
Great location and super friendly staff. We had a great experience at this hotel. Rooms were really nice, clean and well styled
Fantastic location, handy for bus stop 3 for tours and what a stunning building! Staff are so helpful, can’t fault the place.
The location is perfectly situated downtown, the room was well appointed and confortable. The art deco aesthetic is everything! Very hospitable staff, I would definitely come back on my next trip out here.
Extremely good service, the hotel made perfect arrangement for check-in out of office hour. I could get my room key easily and I'm able to store my luggage afterwards. Millions thanks for the arrangement of the hotel
Accommodations were great as everything in the city centre was nearby and the airport shuttle has a bus stop just across the street making it easy and very accessible. Would highly recommend.
Really good location for our need. At edge of city center, but close enough. Around the corner from bus stop 9 and a block from a very good food hall and 24/7 market.
Perfect location for someone traveling solo. Conveniently located to dining and shopping. Very walkable to anywhere no need for car rental or public transportation
This property was conveniently located to shops and restaurants. There was onsite paid parking. Only downfall was that the garage opens at 7am.
Nice accommodation and clean environment.
Very convenient and central place of stay
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
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!
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
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. Parking on street paying in meter
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
The spa was wonderful, the standard room was roomy, breakfast tasted great, and there was a happy hour at the bar, but most importantly, the service was excellent, the team was very nice and helpful! Our dog felt great at the hotel, The only thing that could use some improvement is the menu; it’s a bit limited in options and the prices are on the higher side
Beds comfy but would prefer cotton rather than towelling sheets but that’s a personal preference not a negative. Great little spa with 2 outdoor hot tubs. Bonus was catching northern lights on two of the nights
Really lovely hotel. Everything great, only downside was the location. We hadn’t realised how far out it was from everything. Great for seeing northern lights but at least a 2 hour drive to lots of the popular sights.
Hotel was clean and nice. Location is 1.5hr away to Vik etc but was a great stop for us coming down from the north. Didn’t manage to see any aurora here as the weather was cloudy.
Warm, cosy welcoming hotel with great service. Food was excellent and well presented and good choice of wines
Excellent hotel. Staff very helpful and food very good. Rooms were great and views fantastic.
This hotel is in the best location- very close to rainbow street, bus stops, grocery store, second hand store, and much more! Even being in the middle of everything it is quiet and homey feeling
Hotel was on a very central location. We were provided with all kinds of amenities. The morning breakfast had so much variety. Supermarkets and other shops were on the same street
The family room had everything for cooking and it was extremely spacious and comfortable.
Extremely cozy, charming, and well thought out
One night the bar next door had renovations going on untill gone past midnight which kept us awake as it was against our room wall. Spoke to the receptionist the next morning and they sent and had words with them for us
The hotel staff were all realy friendly and helpful. Location was perfect, 5 min walk from the main bus stops and right on the high street. Rooms were realy big with a little kitchenette too which we weren't expecting
It was a comfortable stay for a family of three with a three-year-old. There's a waterfall nearby and about three restaurants
The breakfast, while not extensive, is delicious, so I highly recommend it if the price is right
The staff of the hotel are helpful and friendly
Nice hotel! We had a wonderful night here! Highly recommended:)
good breakfast. good place for aurora
We stayed here on Christmas and had Christmas dinner in the hotel restaurant. Prices in Iceland are really expensive, but it is still important to fill your stomach. The room was standard and the staff was very nice.
I would highly recommend this hotel if you are ever travelling to Reykjavík, and here’s why. Arrival:
When you arrive, you are welcomed into a warm and quiet atmosphere
Rooms:
Upon entering the room, you are greeted with comfortable, tidy beds (depending on how many guests are staying) and a neatly kept bathroom with all the essentials, including:
A shower
Plenty of towels
Toilet paper
Soaps
Next to the bed is a bedside table with a convenient iPhone charging lamp, which is very easy to use — you simply place your phone against the X-shaped holder
Around four metres in front of the beds, there is a tray with tea, coffee, sugar, and similar items, along with a mini fridge. A mirror is placed near the bed, although I felt it could have been cleaned a little better
Service:
The breakfast area offers a paid buffet breakfast in the mornings, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The bar also has a happy hour, which I believe runs from 5pm to 6pm, offering both drinks and food
The reception desk is on the left, with comfortable sofas and seating directly in front of you. The reception staff are very helpful and assisted us with directions to get into downtown Reykjavík
Depending on the room size, there is also a table and chair, which is ideal for reading or relaxing. A modern, high-tech telephone is also provided in the room
But all these negatives are only really bothersome if one uses the room for an extended time: if you are able to leave to eat somewhere else and don't plan on sitting for hours in your room - then it is a perfect retreat to clean up and get some rest between two adventure-filled days
Seldom to leave a comment, but my stay was Superb at the Storm hotel!
Firstly - The hotel is located right next to the major bus stop #12 where many tours pick up/drop off there, it’s such a convenient location
Secondly - Very clean, warm and spacious hotel room, with very helpful staff members. In fact, I left my item at the hotel after checking out and only realized it after a few days
Location is perfect with the 12 bus stop right outside the hotel. Less than a minute walk to the harbour and the high street. Highly recommend this hotel
Excellent hotel stay overall from a UK and HK travellers. Clean room, nice shower and bathroom, housekeeping was very tidy. Very good location close to the city centre and BSI bus terminal was 25 mins walk away
I reached out to them and got a swift reply (Thanks!)
Thirdly - breakfast was amazing as well
Dinner in the restaurant was exceptional and service was great. A good selection of different options for breakfast also. We were even treated to the northern light which I was able to see from my bedroom window!
A great place to stay the night after the glacier tours. A very modern hotel that feels like a fortress. Directly across the street from the geysir. Rooms are sizable and the restaurant is good
We stayed at this hotel the first night on our Iceland trip. An easy drive from the airport and in a great location. The rooms were really nice and an excellent shower
Can’t say enough good things about our stay here. We arrived in the evening in the snow which was a nice surprise! We got checked in and were able to snag a reservation at the on-site restaurant right away
Everything is perfect except breakfast. The staffs, everybody so pretty.
Booking two months in advance costs 487 yuan more than booking last minute, so don't book too early. There are plenty of rooms available, so you don't have to worry about not having a place to stay.
