Kitchen was well appointed and had a nespresso machine (only 6 pods - there were 8 of us). The microwave is way up over the fridge so good we had some tall people. We were there one night (coming off a cruise) which was Culture Night. Expected high price but it was pricey."

Top Vesturbær Hotel Reviews

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good. Breakfast,spa, location. I highly recommend."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

8/10 Good

"Happy with our stay, good value for money. Room was spacious enough to fit our suitcases comfortably. You can park for free across the street from the hotel or one block over. ~20ish min walk to the busy area. Breakfast was light but good enough to get going for the day. We had no issues with our check-in code but we saw one person outside talking with the property because theirs wasn't working. Overall we were happy with our stay given the price point."

Hotel Von

8/10 Good

"Great location, handy parkade 5 min walk away, so you don't need to worry about zone 2 parking etc. Note: no coffee machine or instant packets in rooms other than Junior suite or Deluxe room, which lists Nespresso machine. But grocery store is next door to buy instant coffee and snacks. Easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants, waterfront etc. Breakfast not included and 3000 kr ISK quoted by staff."
