Review: "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..., by Deborah

Star rating: 3/5
Guest rating: 9.4/10 (21 reviews)
Review: The Artist Lodge is the highlight of our round trip this autumn. It’s located close to a peaceful fjord, yet well connected to the capital and route 1.

Hotel Laxnes

Address: Haholt 7, Mosfellsbær, 270, IS
Location: Mosfellsbær
Star rating: 3/5
Guest rating: 8.6/10 (823 reviews)
Review: Hotel Laxnes is located in Haholt which is about a 15 minute drive from Reyakvic. The views from the bedroom was stunning and there are plenty of facilities close by e.g. supermarket, pub and bakery. There is a bus stop just outside of the hotel and the number 15 and 6 go into Reyakvic, so it's easy to get into Reyakvic. The hotel was very clean and was cleaned everyday during our stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and there was always plenty to eat at..., by Anonymous traveller, 2 June 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent

Hotel Lotus

A modern building with a flat roof, large windows, and a parking lot.

Location: Háaleiti
Review: Lovely, small hotel. Rooms modern, stylish, very warm and wonderfully clean. Staff were incredibly helpful and attentive - nothing was too big or small for their kind attention, efficient. Continental breakfast plentiful and fresh, tea and coffee available in small but stylish lounge 24/7. I want to go back in the summer and will book this hotel again and have no hesitation in recommending it to all my friends., by Lynn, 18 January 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Hotel Eyja

A buffet with various dishes and drinks, including fruits, salads, and bread.

Location: Holt
Review: Staff in the hotel were all pleasant and helpful, and rooms were nice and comfortable. I opted not to eat in the restaurant as I thought I'd be pushed for time to have breakfast before some of the organised tours starting at 8am, and generally decided to eat elsewhere in Reykjavik for dinner. Location wise, it's a quiet road just at the eastern edge of downtown, so just a few minutes walk away from various shops and restaurants. Also about 5 minutes walk from bus stop #12 which seems to be one..., by Alex, 25 May 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

A kitchen with dark cabinets, a countertop with a basket of fruits, and a paper bag.

Review: We had a fabulous time here. Room was clean and had everything provided you could possibly need. Breakfast was amazing- ample for breakfast ans snacks for lunch too! I don’t think we ever managed to finish it on any of the days we stayed! Check in was seamless with all the info we needed. Would stay here again without a doubt., by Simon, 18 February 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

A hot tub with wooden railings, surrounded by lanterns and a scenic mural.

Location: Downtown Reykjavik
Review: Wonderful stay at the Alda Hotel. Excellent location to explore. Rooms were comfortable, clean and warm. Staff were polite, helpful and friendly. My only criticism is that the bar connected to the hotel closed at 10pm. We always enjoy a nightcap after a long day exploring and often found it closed which was a shame., by Emily, 11 November 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Sand Hotel by Keahotels

A modern hotel room with a bed, a desk, a flat-screen TV, and a hallway leading to a bathroom.

Location: Downtown Reykjavik
Review: A lovely hotel, centrally located on Laugevegur. Although we’d emailed ahead to pay for early check in, our room wasn’t ready when we arrived but we were able to leave our luggage in the luggage room and explore the city. Laugevegur is a pedestrian street in the part where the hotel is so it isn’t possible to be picked up or dropped off directly outside. The bus stop for Flybus (and tour pick ups) is number 14 at the bottom of a reasonably steep hill - getting the suitcases up was a challenge..., by Naomi, 23 February 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

Apotek Hotel by Keahotels

A dining area with a wooden wall, multiple illuminated shelves with bottles, a dark leather chair, and a wooden floor.

Location: Downtown Reykjavik
Review: Great Hotel, perfect location for the Bus Transfers to the airport and downtown. We did not use the facilities of the hotel as we where out all the time, but room was nice and right next to a bakery for breakfast if you want something less expensive in the morning. As down town there is merriment noise into the early hours to be heard if you need the window open like we do, fine with treble glassing closed. Definitely would go back., by Neil, 12 January 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

Reykjavik4you Apartments

A multi-story residential building with balconies, a flat roof, and a mountainous backdrop.

Location: Downtown Reykjavik
Review: We had the 2 bed apartment for our first night in Iceland. Free parking for our rental car very handy. Apartment was large, spacious, very clean and everything in the kitchen we needed. Walking distance to all the bars, restaurants and sightseeing in Reykjavik. The apartment is on the ground floor, only drawback is the curtains don't quite reach the edge of the windows so people can see in. Had to tuck them around the radiators. Excellent bakery right opposite for morning pastries and packed..., by Amanda, 21 February 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent
