Top Downtown Reykjavik Hotel Reviews

Hotel Reykjavik Centrum

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely helpful front desk. Especially Kristyna at front desk."

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

6/10 Okay

"It was relatively clean, staff was polite but short, location was great. I was a bit disappointed that the balcony was not private and had a stair leading down to the street, that made me feel slightly unsafe and was not mentioned in the listing. The sheets and duvet cover also had old stains and hair on them, and two out of three times we talked to staff they seemed annoyed that we bothered them, even tho we were quiet and respectful. The room often had a smell like sewer that we couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. One other thing that was kind of annoying was the lack of good blackout curtains, which made a huge difference when the sun only set for about an hour. It seemed like we paid far more than what it was worth. It wasn’t terrible, but also wasn’t great."

Sand Hotel by Keahotels

10/10 Excellent

"This boutique hotel is located directly among the heart of the downtown action. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The only negative was the issue of parking. So don't rent a car unless you are comfortable walking a distance to and from your parking space. Other than that, everything you need is within a short walking distance. We booked several excursions, all of which were easy to get to once our front desk staff provided tips on how to get around. Hopping on and off busses allowed us to immerse ourselves into the culture of the area. The room is perfectly clean but gets hot at night. So we requested a fan which helped to keep us cool while we slept. The hotel gym is small but well enough equipped to get in a decent workout. I do wish there was a microwave somewhere on the main floor. Our leftovers from the pricy steakhouse went uneaten since there was no way to reheat the meal. I truly appreciated being discouraged from tipping but instead encouraged to write a nice review. The Bistro Reykjavík and The Kastrup restaurants were excellent for good, hearty meals and cocktails. The Sand staff were quick to respond to every request we had during our stay. I'd definitely stay again."
