"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.

Top Skalafell Ski Area Hotel Reviews

Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels

8/10 Good

"To management: Natalia helped me very competently to sort out a car/Airport shuttle that I had booked. For the room: there's way too little surface area to unpack toiletries etc. The luggage rack is a pretty design, but not practical as it doesn't create a flat surface, being so close to the wall. The room was really small"

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"Good location and helpful friendly staff."

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with amazing staff!"

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 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."

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."

"Lovely staff, wonderful breakfast, nice hotel and great location. I thought they had a spa, but their spa was actually a lounge … no sauna or soaking….. otherwise perfect."
