Very good hotel. Needed a room for 5 which most hotels can't do but got a great room with two double beds and a sofa bed. There was a comfortable seating area and table plus kitchenette and a good coffee machine. There was plenty of space for everyone and the location is fantastic, literally a two minute walk from lots of bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend.

The front desk staff at Kvosin were amazing! Right from the start they did their best to make us happy during our stay. From helping us with a very early check-in to taking the reins and rescheduling our bookings so we could get a nap in before heading to see the sights (overnight flights suck), Elayna and the guys at the desk were awesome! Oh and the room was super nice - 2 bedrooms, living area and kitchen - would have loved to stay there a couple more days but had to head West. Highly recommend this hotel when in Reykjavik

Love the hospitality of the front desk staff. The hotel is centrally located to everything, the spacious sleeping and living room space with the mini kitchen is fantastic.

Staff were nice and the room was clean and had great facilities. The issue was the noise levels. Everytime someone walked it sounded as if they were stomping and periodically when I presume another room used their facilities a mini waterfall sound came down. Overall it's a wonderful place but the noise is too great and even with wearing earplugs to bed it was too loud.
