Top Downtown Reykjavik Hotel Reviews

Fosshotel Barón

8/10 Good

"Great location, helpful staff"

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."

Sand Hotel by Keahotels

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the Sands Hotel is really what set it apart from other stays. Laura & Mira specifically were helpful, accommodating & overall fun to talk to about the area. They also gave us great recommendations for attractions to see. This front desk staff, along with others we didn’t get names of, were a highlight of the hotel. Additionally, the included breakfast was a nice surprise as food is quite expensive in Iceland. Location was in the heart of the city’s we could walk to everything we wanted. Overall, if and when we visit Reykjavik again we will certainly stay at the Sands."

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."
