Hôtels à Reykjavik

Points positifs: The hotel was great. From the atmosphere and decorations to the people working there. The front desk staff were amazing and friendly. They were always ready to help and had a smile on there faces everyday. We got a family sized room for two people just because I heard the rooms might be smaller. However the room was bigger than I expected including the bathroom. You hear that the shower doors fold to make more room. However even extended there is enough room for the other person to use the sink or get ready. The hotel gives you a cell phone with data included, which was honestly amazing. I made the phone into a wifi hotspot and was able to use my own cell phone throughout the trip. Just bring portable charger with you as the phone battery dies quickly this way. The hotel is also located on the main strip and perfect walking distance from restaurants and bars. But a few blocks down so you don't hear the noise of the bars at night. We never tried the breakfast downstairs as we always had say trips planned in the mornings. There is a bakery down the street that is open early I can't remember the name of it but the front desk told us about it. Big enough to sit down and have breakfast, but gets packed as well so give yourself enough time if you have morning plans. The room does come with a pot to make your own hot tea and instant coffee if you are in a rush.

Points négatifs: Hard to say what I did not like about the hotel. The only thing I can think of is that the room gets very warm and with no thermostat to control temperature. We opened the window everyday however it only opens a tiny crack and doesn't stay open on its own. Probably from the wind outside. Just bring light pajamas with you and you will be fine.

Points positifs: Location and view.

Points négatifs: Smal room, not much storage room.

Points positifs: Somehow this isn't mentioned on their website or any reviews I've seen, but Hotel Alda gives each guest an android smartphone in lieu of a room phone. This phone works throughout Iceland, has reception on speed dial, and has all the other bells and whistles you'd expect of s smartphone: maps, activity guides, etc. A great and welcome surprise!

Points négatifs: Unfortunately for the hotel, but fortunately for Reykjavik generally, there is a bit of construction going on near the facilities. Not a big deal if you're getting up early to go on an adventure, but if you intend to sleep in do ask for a room on the other side of the hotel. This advice should be good through the end of summer 2015.

Points positifs: L'emplacement et la vue.

Points négatifs: Petite chambre, pas grand-chose pour ranger ses affaires.

Points positifs: Best facilities, awesome common spaces, kitchen, strong wifi. Very clean and well-appointed rooms. Staff is very kind and helpful and not arrogant even if the bar area attracts trendy clientele

Points négatifs: Street noise required earplugs (but the location couldn't be better so it's understandable)

Points positifs: Staff was very helpful and pleasant with tours, directions, getting back to airport, and any other questions people had. Breakfast was sufficient for a hostel and this was good because eating out could get pricey in Reykavik.

Points positifs: Staff is very helpful

Points négatifs: Smaller rooms on a busy street

Points positifs: Old marina location and near to old town. Nicely quirky in terms of design and decor. An enjoyable experience which I would choose again.

Points négatifs: Not keen on the glass walled bathroom facility, which takes sharing a step too far for us.

Points positifs: Great location on the harbor; within walking distance of the main Reykjavik attractions; very cool vibe for both adults and children; excellent service.

Points positifs: bar was good breakfast location

Points négatifs: road outside can be loud

Points positifs: Le personnel est très serviable

Points négatifs: Chambres plus petites dans une rue animée

Points positifs: Great location and cozy

Points négatifs: A little cramped, but that's Iceland

Points positifs: Very close to city center quiet street Staff was very nice and accomodating

Points négatifs: Rooms were miniature! Typical of Europe, but this was very very small, don't pack too much!

Points positifs: Il est très bien situé et confortable

Points négatifs: Un peu à l'étroit, mais c'est l'Islande

Points positifs: The location was very nice and central.

Points négatifs: The hotel staff were rude and not helpful. One night there was so much noise from people talking and partying until 3:00 am. Could not sleep. The buses no linger pick you up at the hotel. It the walk to the bus stop is less than five minutes. It was still inconvenient with all our luggage. We did not know that when booking.

Points positifs: Excellent location within walking distance to busy city center Great value for the money Friendly staff Prompt service from staff & housekeeping Nice little restaurant in the lobby

Points négatifs: For some reason the TV was messed up most of the time (would get frozen on certain channels and would have to get up and turn it off). However, was not in the room much, so this was not a big issue.

Points positifs: The hotel is centrally located in Reykjavik and next door to some excellent restaurants. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.

Points positifs: Location was good.

Points négatifs: Parking was listed but it was public parking. We had to drive around and parked a few blocks away.

Points positifs: Location! You can not beat the location of the Centrum. Also the front desk staff is awesome. They can book all of your excursions for you and if you would like dinner reservations, they can suggest where and then make the reservations for you. The hotel bar happy hour was excellent if you like beer and craft cocktails.

Points négatifs: The room size was a little small and there was no place for a second piece of large luggage. Also, even with the radiator in the off position, the room was extremely hot. We were forced to sleep with the windows open. The amount of noise coming from the street from cars and people at all hours of the night caused us not to get a good nights sleep in the 8 days that we were there. I wish I would have brought ear plugs.

Points positifs: Outstanding staff. Very clean. Very central. Convenient bar and restaurant.

Points négatifs: Slow wifi.

Points positifs: Close to old parts of town. In fact, hotel is built over museum for first settlement.

Points positifs: It was clean, desk staff were pleasant

Points négatifs: The hotel had messed up the reservations. My reservation through Kayak was fine. However, a hotel block that was to be released 45 days before my arrival was still on the books (I was joining a hiking group) and they tried to get me to pay for that supposed reservation. In talking with the agency that had arranged the room block for this particular hiking group, this is not the first time that this hotel has done this. In addition, a friend of mine who had confirmed her reservation at Hotel Centrum before leaving the US, received an e-mail that they were overbooked and she had to go to another hotel---even though Hotel Centrum had double bookings and indeed did have rooms.

Points positifs: Location in town.

Points négatifs: Ridiculous price for room that had no amenities. Paid five star price for two star motel. Room small, bed uncomfortable. Everything extra.

Points positifs: L'hôtel est situé au centre de Reykjavik, à côté d'excellents restaurants. Le personnel était très serviable et bien informé sur la région.

Points positifs: Il est bien situé.

Points négatifs: Le parking était classé mais c'était non surveillé. Nous avons eu de trouver le bon chemin en voiture garée et à quelques pâtés de maisons de l'hôtel.

Points positifs: Emplacement ! On ne peut pas trouver mieux que l'emplacement du Centrum. Aussi, le personnel de la réception est génial. Ils peuvent réserver toutes vos excursions pour vous et si vous souhaitez réserver une table pour le dîner, ils peuvent suggérer où et ensuite faire les réservations pour vous. Le happy hour bar était excellent si vous aimez la bière et les cocktails artisanaux.

Points négatifs: La taille de la chambre était un peu petite et il n'y avait pas de place pour deux bagages volumineux. Aussi, même avec le radiateur éteint, la chambre était extrêmement chaude. Nous avons été obligés de dormir avec les fenêtres ouvertes. La quantité de bruit venant de la rue des voitures et des personnes à toutes les heures de la nuit a nui à notre sommeil durant tout le séjour. J'aurais aimé avoir apporté des bouchons d'oreilles.

Points positifs: 20-40 min walk from most attractions. Great proximity to soccer stadium.

Points négatifs: No gym.

Points positifs: Nice enough décor

Points négatifs: Small rooms, limited amenities, somewhat close to downtown, at least 25 minute walk.

Points positifs: The staff who checked us in knew very little about the area, telling us we would have to ride a busy to down town when in actuality it's walkable (w/ a 5 1/2yro) in about 25 minutes. She additionally was no help with bus fair, stops, or routes. We adventured and found our way fairly easily. There is no pool on site, the one they mention is across the highway and down a side street but heated and great for families. The breakfast was mediocre, luke warm food and not many choices. our room faces the parking lot/highway and had windows so dirty it was difficult to see out of them. The room was extremely hot, even after turning the heat off and the noise from outside (cars & people walking to and from partying until 4:30 am) kept us up most of the night. Overall this was the worst nights sleep of our trip & the worst accommodations we had.

Points négatifs: The whole experience was less than desirable.

Points positifs: -Buffet breakfast included was delicious. -The swimming center close by is a must for families! -Rooms were clean, and compact. -Allowed us to check-in at 8am!!

Points négatifs: -Distance from city center; We had a car rented, so not an issue. -Allowed us to check-in at 8am!! Received a smaller room than booked, but appreciative of the convenience of unloading all our bags immediately.

Points positifs: We had a comfortable room, and the location was a bit far from down town, but it was a great place to stay. There are a variety of restaurants in the two-or-so blocks from the hotel, one is right next door. The best part was one of the desk employees, Arnar. He was super helpful, cheerful, and friendly, but what he really stands out for (IMHO) is how he saved the day when one of us messed up on some reservations. We would have missed the whole thing and lost our money. He made some calls and got us rescheduled and arranged transportation to the event. Whew! I was beyond thankful. He saved the day.

Points négatifs: Wish we would have had a room with a view.

Points positifs: Very friendly staff and nice bar downstairs. Modern decor.

Points négatifs: Rooms are extremely small. Windows are not very tight in cold weather. Location is not great, about 2 miles from downtown.

Points positifs: 14 Minutes de marche de la plupart des attractions. Proche du stade.

Points négatifs: Pas de salle de gym.

Points positifs: Le personnel est très sympathique et agréable ,bar au rez-de-chaussée. Décor moderne.

Points négatifs: Les chambres sont très petites. Les fenêtres ne sont pas très étanches quand il fait froid. L'emplacement n'est pas génial, à environ 2 km du centre-ville.

Points positifs: Very clean and modern. I didn't realize it had a kitchen included. Perfect location, quiet but on a nice street right in the middle of everything. Good Buffett breakfast. Good security. Good heating.

Points positifs: We were upgraded on arrival to studio apartment which was a nice surprise .good location for town centre .good choices of restaurants nearby .

Points négatifs: Having to pay to park your car even though it belonged to the hotel . Very expensive for all the bars and restaurants .

Points positifs: Best location for shopping, central to the city. Complimentary breakfast is a great way to start the day--so convenient! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again!

Points négatifs: Although I didn't experience any noise (staying early in the week), I could foresee noise issues near the weekend and in the summer.

Points positifs: We booked a double room and it was really more like a one bedroom. Had a stove and separate seating area, was clean and we had no problems with noise!

Points positifs: Everything. This place was fantastic. The Staff was helpful, the location can't be beat; you're in the middle of town, on the main street. walking distance to shops and restaurants. Nice size room, fridge - really the best value / location we stayed in Iceland. Good breakfast options compared to other places we stayed. Recommended.

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: Nice, clean, spacious rooms

Points positifs: The rooms and location were excellent. The breakfast was included but not that impressive.

Points positifs: Tyeblocation, size of the room,value and the included breakfast

Points négatifs: No way to wash our clothes, no hot tub and only five channels to choose from

Points positifs: La situation géographique, la décoration des chambres, le personnel, les équipements et installations de l'hôtel, le rapport qualité-prix.

Points positifs: Walking distance to most of towns best sights and restaurants. Felt very safe and the breakfast was great. I would stay here again.

Points négatifs: Parking was hard to find. That is to be expected when staying in any downtown area. Dining is expensive everywhere in Iceland. For a one in a lifetime place to see. It was still worth it.

Points positifs: Hotel was walking distance to shopping. Had a small kitchen with burners, microwave, refrigerator and dishes. Stayed 4 nights and made dinner 3 of those nights.Going out to eat very expensive Bonus (supermarket) is just 2 blocks away. Staff is extremely helpful. We arrived at 8am and there was a room ready for us.

Points négatifs: Make sure you get to breakfast on time. Close doors exactly at 9:30 and by 9:15 slim pickings on options. It could be that it is early but staff wasn't that welcoming for breakfast. Just basic offerings - toast, cereal, hard boiled eggs, meat, cheese, yogurt. Was fine for us but for those who like a hot breakfast it isn't available They cut fruit in half so for those of you who like to grab and apple for later in the day that isn't an option.

Points positifs: Tout ce qu'il faut. C'est un hôtel fantastique. Le personnel était serviable et l'emplacement est imbattable, vous êtes au cœur de la ville, sur la rue principale. On peut aller à pied jusqu'aux magasins et restaurants. Une grande chambre, un réfrigérateur - c'est vraiment le meilleur rapport qualité/prix et bien situé Nous avons séjourné à l'Islande. Le petit déjeuner est bon choix par rapport à d'autres hôtels où nous avons séjourné. Je le recommande.

Points négatifs: Il n'y a rien

Points positifs: Staff was very responsive to our request to change rooms. Rooms had a nice (small) outside sun deck.

Points négatifs: It's a little far from the tourist area (shops and restaurants) but that might be an advantage as we got more exercise.

Points positifs: Just the cutestest hostel ever. Very trendy, clean and comfortable. Spacious rooms, clean bathrooms and showers. Guests were very respectful. Had no trouble sleeping in the evenings. Great bar and sitting area in the reception area to drink and meet other travelers. Food was delicious at the restaurant. Excellent location, located on the main road, central in downtown. Most tours pick up just outside their door steps, as well as local bus stops. Although, it's easy to walk everywhere from there. Absolutely, love it and hope to stay there again one day.

Points négatifs: No negatives.

Points positifs: Decent price and location

Points négatifs: Much dirtier in person Kitchen appliances don't work (stoves, ovens, microwaves) so use and need of kitchen is pointless People staying there do not clean their dishes, and cleaning crew doesn't do them either, so there's always a sink full of dirty dishes and no utensils. Advertises soap and shampoo provided yet they give 1 tiny bottle of shampoo that people end up stealing so no soap or shampoo Same with the soap in the bathrooms. No soap. Checked out a day early (almost 30 hours early) yet told that no refund would be given because not given 24 hours notice (?)

Points positifs: Classy breakfast buffet, wide spaces in the dorm rooms, not too cramped, evening shift front desk worker "Gary the Great" is a not a cool friendly dude, but extremely helpful.

Points positifs: laid back fun atmosphere

Points négatifs: There was nothing I didn't like

Points positifs: Friendly staff,decent location, clean dorms, nice locker for suitcase.

Points négatifs: Not having bathrooms for both sexes on both sides of the floor. Layout of dorms not great. Bad internet

Points positifs: This review is about the two floors of the hotel which are a hostel, not a hotel. They lend you a tiny (nearly a joke, I guess) lock to put on the small cubby boxes in the room. 1000ISK deposit. The kitchen contains dishwashers.

Points négatifs: I stayed in a room with 12 or 14 beds. The doors on these rooms are "underdamped", meaning they are designed or adjusted to slam very very loudly if you let them close by themselves. It shakes not just the room, but is even obnoxious during the day if you're in a common kitchen or lounge down/across the hall. The door in my room was slammed AT ALL HOURS of the day except 12h30 -- 03h00 a.m. by the absurdly inconsiderate guests. The problem is that there is no effort by the hostel to tell people how to behave, and for some reason a large cross-section of the sample of young travellers in my room seem entirely oblivious to the surely-obvious effects of their actions on other people. There were no quiet hours announced. No one was told to close doors quietly. I was dumbfounded how people stayed up shouting, drinking, etc inside the dorm room (there are couches) until midnight, even when others were obviously trying to sleep, and the same people when they were on a different schedule, were up at 03h a.m. sharp talking loudly, and slamming the door countless times again. I mentioned to the staff that there was an educational solution (maybe) to this problem, but they didn't seem very interested. In addition to all that, the rooms, which look nothing nice as clean as in the pictures online (of course), have little cubby boxes below the beds where you supposedly can lock your valuables. The locking tabs are a bit of a joke, maybe, but in my room several were actually broken off anyway, so there was no way to lock them. This was my worst hostel experience ever.

Points positifs: Relax ambiance amusante

Points négatifs: Il n'y avait rien que je n'ai pas aimé

Points positifs: Personnel sympathique, bon emplacement, dortoirs propres, bon casier pour valises.

Points négatifs: Ne pas avoir de salles de bain pour les deux sexes sur les deux côtés de l'étage. Configuration de dortoirs pas super. Internet mauvais
