"Room had a lovely ocean view and it was very clean. There was enough bedding if anyone wanted additional blankets but there was no need. The room temperature was comfortable and at one point, we reduced the heat and opened the windows since the apartment was nice and toasty. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. There was tea and coffee available to us. The location was perfect to walk around town. There were cafes close by as well as eateries and shops. I highly recommend."

Top National Museum of Iceland Hotel Reviews

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Reykjavik. Everything important or interesting (except perhaps Perlan) within convenient walking distance. Great breakfast and bar. Restaurant is streetfood oriented so you may want to walk a few hundred meters for a proper dinner. On the expensive side but then what is not in Reykjavik."

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"It is in a great location with many places to eat within a 5 minute walk. The coffee shop attached to the hotel is really good too. When you check in you're given the option of daily, every other day and no cleaning of the room which is really nice. The room I had was clean, spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside is Iceland is built for heat conservation so there's no air con nor can you open the windows in a meaningful way."

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Center Hotels Arnarhvoll for 3 nights. The location was excellent and we loved the views from the hotel, particularly from the Sky lounge on the top floor, where breakfast was served and where you can get drinks in the evenings. The hotel was good value. And the staff at the front desk were excellent -- super helpful. However, we found our room to be inconveniently small (you had to squeeze by the corner of the bed just to get around it) and the mattress was not that great. If you have no back issues, and you avoid the smallest room, I would definitely recommend it."

The Reykjavik EDITION

2/10 Terrible

"Beautiful property and an excellent restaurant, but the overall hotel experience was deeply disappointing. The staff came across as rude, unhelpful, and overly robotic rather than genuinely hospitable. For a hotel marketed as five-star luxury, the amenities and service felt surprisingly underwhelming. What truly crossed the line, however, was my mother’s experience at the spa. My mother is a very small woman and booked a massage during our stay. Despite repeatedly asking the masseur to use less pressure, he continued being excessively rough to the point that the massage left her in immense pain and covered in large bruises across her back. When we initially approached the staff about the situation, all they did was send up a tiny container of peppermint balm for her muscles, which honestly felt more like a dismissive brush-off than genuine concern for what had happened. When we approached the staff at checkout, they responded in the same robotic fashion with plastered-on smiles, rehearsed apologies, and absolutely no meaningful resolution. They refused to remove the massage from the bill and instead simply stated that they were “investigating the case.” The entire response felt cold, performative, and completely lacking in empathy or accountability. A nice restaurant and an abundance of uptight staff do not make a true five-star experience. Unfortunately, this hotel felt much closer to a three-star property, and I would NEVER choose to stay here again."

Hotel Reykjavik Saga

10/10 Excellent

"Staff and facilities were excellent. Breakfast was the perfect way to start the day. Excellent buffet breakfast with a variety of food to choose from. Staff there and in general were always helpful with a smile. I would recommend Reykjavík Saga to anyone who wants excellent hospitality, friendly staff and well maintained and clean facilities."
