The location is terrific for exploring the city. The staff are friendly and welcoming and ready to help with any questions. We found the breakfast to be just what we needed and appreciated the ginger shot and smoothies. There’s a bit of street noise at night so if you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs or they have some at the front desk. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

Everything abou this hotel was great! Room was small, but expect that in Europe, but we were surprised at the lack of storage. Pretty much just a small area to hang clothes and a shelf underneath you can put your suitcase and just take your cothes from there. The breakfast was very good...no hot options, but we knew that. The location is amazing, right in the middle of the pedestrian street.

We really loved our stay at the Sand Hotel. The room was quiet and perfect for the two of us. The breakfast was sublime. We even tried their next door bakery outside of breakfast hours. Definitely give that a try too. The only downside to the Sand Hotel was parking. We were tired after our flight and did not prepare for parking. That added a little stress to our visit. So, plan ahead, understand the parking options, and you’ll be in good shape.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Reykjavik. The location is perfect—right on a central street and within easy walking distance to many of the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It was the ideal base for exploring the city, and we really appreciated how convenient everything was. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Reykjavik!
