"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

ODDSSON Midtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel. Good location. Breakfast was great. Staff were very nice and helpful."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in/out staff were amazing and very accommodating before, during, and after our trip. They put our 3-room party in the same building, held our luggage securely before and after our stay, delivered our breakfast bread early to accommodate a scheduled tour. The rooms were very nice (1 room apartment) and had everything we needed. The breakfast deliveries contained yummy food - hard boiled eggs, fruit, ham/cheese/bread, butter/jam/honey, yogurt, tomatoes/pepper/cucumber (a surprise every day). We usually ate the food the day before as it was delivered in the afternoon and then the fresh bread came in the morning. We’ll be booking a trip back to Iceland and we’ll be staying at this same hotel."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

8/10 Good

"Clean room and very warm on a cold and snowy night. There are no staff and it is "self serve"; however, they are reachable by telephone and extremely helpful. The bed and linens were super comfortable. Checkout is promptly at 11 am."

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

8/10 Good

"The proximity to downtown was great. The room although getting tired looking was clean. We found the staff both at check in and check out extremely accommodating. The one issue I had was breakfast was definitely not worth the price. The choice and quality was good but it was not worth 100.00 Canadian for two!"

Fosshotel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"The furniture is outdated and room is very basic and relatively just call 3-3.5 stars hotel.However, location is convenient next to bus #12 which it helps for any tours you sign up."

Miðgarður by Center Hotels

8/10 Good

"The hotel, staff and breakfast were great but parking is a premium so make sure you download the Parka App before arriving so that you can easily pay for on-street parking"

Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels

10/10 Excellent

"Nice basic property. The free parking is a nice amenity in Reykjavik. The rooms are small but functional. The staff was helpful. Breakfast was very good - the buffet was kept constantly stocked, even with a large number of people. We would certainly stay here again."
