Hotel Reykjavik Saga

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. I wish I could have stayed forever. The staff was very friendly AB’s the rooms are gorgeous"

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Reykjavik Residences are a cluster of smaller, charming buildings. Each with a different character. All of them lovely. All of the in the centre of the most charming part of town. Our studio suite was stellar. The people at the front desk reception are extremely friendly and helpful."

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

6/10 Okay

"We stayed at the Center Hotels Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik, Iceland in June 2026. The hotel was chosen primarily due to its location. The hotel is located near the waterfront, across from the Harpa Concert Hall. So it is a nice walk to/from bus stops, historic part of town, the church, and boat pier for whale and Puffin watching tours The rooms are small, but clean. Surprisingly, the shower is nothing that we have ever encountered! It shares the floor with the rest of the small bathroom, with a curved plastic door to keep water from hitting the bathroom door. Everything else gets wet. There is a squeegee provided to move water to the drain after showering. This was our biggest disappointment at the hotel. There is no air-conditioning, so there is a small window that can be opened to let in fresh air from outside. There is no screen in the window. The room had a big crack across the ceiling and some paint was chipping. Our room had 2 twin beds, a desk, 2 strange chairs, and a small refrigerator. The TV had some channels that had weak signal scrambling problems. The Wi-Fi worked fairly well, as it does in most of Iceland. My bed sheet had a small hole in it that was clearly visible on by the pillow area. So not perfectly maintained room. It was refreshed everyday, at our request. The breakfast cost extra to the room price, and was located on the top floor bar area. It had good food and an excellent view of the harbor and music hall. The front door needs to be aut"

Fosshotel Barón

8/10 Good

"Hotel was close to the Rainbow Street, Sun Voyager and the downtown shopping area. You won’t run out of restaurants and shopping to go to. Parking was expensive and you can park in the different parking lots nearby. Room was a cramped and do not have a tap card to enter. You will get a literal key for your room. It was a good base if you are out all day exploring. I would say that its mid priced but I would explore other hotels if I were to return to Iceland."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

4/10 Poor

"They don't have a reception desk, which is fine, but the access codes for both the front door and the luggage room didn't work. Every time I needed to enter the building, I had to call them and provide my reservation number, name, and length of stay. I contacted them twice by email requesting new codes, but the issue was never resolved. The room was not cleaned during my stay, and the towels were never changed."
