Sand Hotel by Keahotels
5/5 Excellent
"From the welcome we received upon arrival, the well appointed room, the fabulous breakfast (we will truly miss the food and staff every morning) and the evening greeting when we returned after an amazing tour, our stay at Sand Hotel was truly a home away from home. Special thanks to Halldór Bjornsson who made our stay exceptional and added to the charm of the hotel and all of it’s comfort. Thank you for everything. We can’t wait to return."

Location Location
"It’s all about location. In the heart of downtown old Reykjavik. A stones throw from bus stop 1 and a 5 minute walk in a straight line to the main drag. Famous hotdog stand around the corner. Plenty of bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Lovely icecream parlour next door. The wonderful Settlement museum 2 minutes away. Viking Museum and must do Fly over Iceland within walking distance. Our room faced the Square. We enjoyed watching the workings of the square. The breakfast was lovely too. This hotel is well used but very clean and our room was comfortable. I would stay here again for sure"

Nice place to stay
"Really clean modern hotel, all staff were happy and helpful. Breakfast was a good standard but felt slightly limited after a couple of mornings. The hotel including the bedrooms are ridiculously hot but everywhere inside in Iceland is heated that way so not really a hotel fault."
