Top University of Iceland Hotel Reviews

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Well located and great views."

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"It was in a very accessible location, and the staff was great! I would definitely stay there again."

Hotel Von

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. We were able to check in early. Loved the balcony. Convenient location."

Grandi by Center Hotels

8/10 Good

"Nice friendly people"

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fine"

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

8/10 Good

"Overall happy with the stay. We had some inconvenience due to their parking area is on renovation. We are being asked to park bit far in a grocery store parking lot. We couldn’t bring our luggage to the room due to the distance,other than that no issues, I am assuming that’s a temporary problem. I would recommend this place."

Exeter Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to the waterfront downtown area. If you are subject to noise, do not book the rooms adjacent to the waterfront as it is noisy and to cool the room down, you need to open the windows. I asked them to move me to a garden room in the back and it was fine, no view of the water but for me a good trade-off to get a good nights sleep. Be aware, they only have seven or eight parking spots on a first come first serve basis, and you must pay for one of those. Otherwise, you must download the Parka parking app and find a Roadside spot to park, which is a 5 to 10 minute walk. Overall a great experience!"

City Center Hotel

8/10 Good

"No one is around. no questions answered. Self Check-in is a ridiculous concept. I ran out of coffee in my room three times, had to hunt the cleaning ladies down to get some pods for the nespresso machine, but other times had to go without morning coffee---really? No tissues in the room, blowing my nose on toilet paper for this expensive room. My last day I was down to the very last of my toilet paper. While it was close to everything, which is great, the noise in downtown doesn't let one sleep til after 4 a.m., no exaggeration. I will stay in a hotel that offers breakfast and is in a quieter neighborhood. The keyless entry was great, really liked that and I always felt safe, a single female traveler, but Iceland is known for it's very lowcrime rate."

Hotel Reykjavik Centrum

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small and we were facing ground level to the street so anyone passing by could see into our room (not ideal). Sound proofing also isn’t great. Bathrooms are also small and shower stalls leak into the main bathroom, no matter how hard you try. That being said, hotel is centrally located and clean. I didn’t eat at the hotel so I’m not sure what the food is like."
