"The apartment was in a nice area not too far from downtown. 4 bedrooms with nice beds and a decent living space/kitchen. Kitchen was well appointed and had a nespresso machine (only 6 pods - there were 8 of us). The microwave is way up over the fridge so good we had some tall people. We were there one night (coming off a cruise) which was Culture Night. Expected high price but it was pricey."

Top Vesturbær Hotel Reviews

CityHub Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"clean rooms, clean bathrooms"

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Fosshotel. The breakfast buffet was amazing! Food was fresh and delicious. Our room does not have an air-con but it has window shutters that you can open to allow cool air in. Beds and pillows are comfortable after the long day tour. Amenities are acceptable. Staff are friendly and approachable. You dont have to go anywhere as Bus station 12 is conveniently located at the side of the hotel to wait for the tour buses. The hotel is at walkable distance to the nearest Bonus (Skipholt) grocery store to buy snacks stash for tours."

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. Front desk especially so. Ordering cabs - restaurant suggestions and just general information. Parking was a challenge with only 8 spots available but once you navigate the Parka App, wasn't that big of a hassle. Beds were move of a queen size than a double so that was nice. And the USB ports were a nice touch."

Day Dream Vesturgata 17

8/10 Good

"I thought this was a very comfortable and well located hotel. WiFi was great. It wasn't super fancy but it met all expectations and I found it quite cozy and pleasant. The staff was super responsive via message. Perfect score! The only thing that could be better is a little more direction on parking. This is not the property's fault. I searched for hotels that had parking included and this one came up and I failed to verify, It doesn't have parking included so that was a search engine fail, but there was a parking garage 2 min away and street parking. That's important if you are reading this review and considering staying-also it's many stories so keep that in mind if you over pack your bag like I did."

Hotel Local 101

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a gem of a find. We had a lovely night at this place. The little restaurant was so adorable and quaint, and the staff were absolutely lovely people. Our room was clean, quiet, and perfect for our needs. It was close to some restaurants and shopping, which we easily walked to. Overall a great stay and would definitely repeat!"
