Hótel Kría

"Hotel was conveniently located and room nine size."

Konvin Hotel by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport

"The bedroom and definitely the bathroom could have better lighting. The shower stall was slippery."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious and comfortable. Loved the comforter! The only thing is that the sign is hard to see in the dark and rain."

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

10/10 Excellent

"We are doing the full circle of Island and this hotel was the fourth hotel and I can confidently say that this hotel is the best. This hotel is truly 4.5 star hotel. The front desk staff were very courteous and helpful. The room was well lit and had power plugs next to bed for convenient overnight charging of our iPhones. The shower was nice with good drainage but I wish they had shower door. It splashed water all over bathroom floor without the door. The highlight of our stay was dining experience. The breakfast was excellent and staff worked hard and all of them very courteous. The dinner staff were the best. They were all kind and friendly. We stayed at this hotel 3 days and have no complaints. Highly recommended."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to everything in city. Many restaurants . Property felt like home!"

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Family of three stayed in a room with a room with a bed plus sofa bed. There was plenty of room for the three of us and our suitcases. Two of us enjoyed the sauna. Robes and towels were provided for all 3 which was nice and showers were also available in the gym area. We paid extra for the breakfast which was the best during our stay. The staff was very nice ! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Emma at the front desk went well above to make sure we enjoyed our stay. She made sure our room was well away from the large tour groups also using the facility. Indeed, we hardly noticed the other guests. She also made sure our spa and massage reservations were correct, even changing one to accomodate our changing schedule.. On another day, I stopped to ask where to find an odd size coin battery and the receptnist turned in her seat and said, "you mean like this?" And handed me the correct battery, she then declined to charge me for it. It didn't stop there as the bar, restaurant and housekeeping staff all went above and beyond to be helpful. The spa facilities were very relaxing with two separate hot tubs, a sauna and first class massage therapy services. Tour busses have difficulty navigating the narrow city streets, so there is an organized tour bus stop, #17, a very short walk away, in front of the Maratime Museum, a gateway to the wonders of the far north country. In summary, highly recommended."
