"We really enjoyed our time in our static bus. The views of the mountain were superb, and it was nice to be able to walk some way up the side of it, to about 150 m. I could have gone higher if I was suitably equipped. The bus itself was well equipped, though the kettle took a long time to boil. We planned our hot drinks well in advance. Linda was very helpful and supplied a bowl to do the dishes as there was no stopper in the sink. The toilets and showers were close by and worked very...

Top Skalafell Ski Area Hotel Reviews

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"Nice place with very friendly staff"

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel and staff. The only issue was the lack of street parking in the evenings (the hotel doesn’t have dedicated parking). It’s in downtown with a lot of shops, which makes it convenient for shopping but tricky to find parking."

Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels

8/10 Good

"The hotel is nice and there is enough parking in front and at the back of the hotel. The rooms are really small. We stayed at this hotel for 2 different nights in 2 different rooms and both rooms were quite small to fit our 4 bags (2 big and 2 small trolley bags). Once you open one of the bag, there is hardly any room to roam around. But overall a very good hotel and welcoming staff."

Grandi by Center Hotels

8/10 Good

"Clean large room and they gave us an upgrade! Loved the coffee shop attached too."

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"I was really impressed with your CityHosts. It was like having a concierge during my stay. They recommended a good late night place to get a sample of Icelandic cuisine and gave good instructions on how to get to the bus station. They were helpful with my pre-ordered breakfast and coffee, which was very good. Thank you for the gift of the quality breakfast cooler bag. The quality of the Pod and the linens was outstanding. The whole place felt so hushed and secure, very relaxing. The bathrooms and shower were meticulous. Very good experience."

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

8/10 Good

"It was a lovely spot, a bit far from the downtown area but the breakfast and room were lovely. The bath in the shower didn’t work as expected, but we also didn’t call down so keep that in mind."

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, nice rooms, a little bit uncomfortable here and there's *pillows some of the blankets were way too warm with minimla ventilation* so hot sleepers like myself need to cool off throughout the night at times. Still a comfortable stay once the room cooled down to comfortable temperatures."

ODDSSON Midtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bed and room were really comfortable. Everything was super clean. Design is modern yet inviting. Our son loved the bunk beds. We liked having the kitchenette in our room as well. The breakfast options were great and the staff was very friendly. We would stay here again."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

10/10 Excellent

"Location is 10 minute walk from the center. There is new staff no check-in that was surprising at first. Otherwise a clean safe enjoyable stay . Bed was very comfortable."
