Reynivellir Holidays from NZ$3,800

Pros: Property was in a quiet, beautiful area with easy car access. Cons: There was no in-unit fan or air cooling system. As a result people open the windows to let in cool air. We did not open the windows when we stayed due to the number of bugs outside, so it was incredibly warm and difficult to sleep comfortably. Despite our best efforts, there were 4-5 spiders in the sleeping area and several flies.

This is well-appointed modern hotel that is centrally located at the end of Laugavegur Street. It is right across from the fabulous Hlemmur Food Hall and Lucky Records, a Reykjavík institution for music fans. The rooms are comfortable and European chic. The breakfast buffet is delicious and a great way to fuel for a day of sightseeing. The spa is well-kept and a good way to unwind after a hard day of touring. This hotel is used by large tour groups and there are times of day when the lobby and restaurant are crowded and a bit chaotic. This did not detract from our stay and the rooms were quiet. Iceland has become very expensive since I was last here 4 years ago—and this hotel is no exception. Whatever you have budgeted for your Reykjavík stay—double it! Iceland makes Switzerland look like a bargain!

Great front desk staff!

This was a great stay! The hotel is clean and everything runs efficiently. I especially loved the breakfasts. Close to bus lines.

Cons: I'm surprised that we got a room located in the basement of the building and the room is next to the street. There's a strong smell of mold in the room. Unfortunately, the hotel is fully booked so we can't change room and they offered a 10% discount. Pros: the room is very practical with a kitchen and everything you need to cook for a small meal on a trip. The bed mattress is comfortable. I also like the breakfast sourdough, which is freshly baked from the popular bakery in the city.
