Hoteles en Reikiavik

Ventajas: 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.

Desventajas: 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.

Ventajas: Location and view.

Desventajas: Smal room, not much storage room.

Ventajas: 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!

Desventajas: 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.

Ventajas: Ubicación y vistas.

Desventajas: Habitación pequeña, no hay mucho espacio de almacenamiento.

Ventajas: 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

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

Ventajas: 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.

Ventajas: Staff is very helpful

Desventajas: Smaller rooms on a busy street

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

Ventajas: bar was good breakfast location

Desventajas: road outside can be loud

Ventajas: El personal es muy servicial

Desventajas: Habitaciones más pequeñas en una calle concurrida.

Ventajas: Most cooperative and friendly staff. Great location too.

Desventajas: Rooms were a bit small.

Ventajas: Personal más cooperativo y amable. La ubicación también es fantástica.

Desventajas: Las habitaciones eran un poco pequeñas.

Ventajas: I enjoyed the high end quality from top to bottom of the hotel! It was immaculate, stylish and staff was helpful and enjoyable.

Desventajas: I would have preferred to have been closer to downtown so I could walk to the downtown area. However, that would mean having a big hotel in the middle of a great little town. I understand that they are building something closer to town that fits in to the surroundings, so I'll have to try that when it opens.

Ventajas: The staff was very helpful and friendly, the restaurant was excellent. You can book tours from the operator in the lobby. Great views from our top floor room. We definitely recommend that you stay here and enjoy the beautiful country.

Desventajas: Location is just a wee bit far away but buses or a short walk will get you downtown and closer to more dining choices

Ventajas: Great view of the bay, executive lounge was first class.

Ventajas: Muy buena vista a la bahía. El salón ejecutivo era de primera categoría.

Ventajas: Great location. Quiet and close to everything. Room was adequate for my purposes and comfortable to sleep in. The staff was helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back.

Ventajas: Quiet, private.

Desventajas: I arrived at 7am but paid for the night before because I needed to sleep. At 12 noon it here was a nock on the door and a moment later a phone call. They wanted me to check out even though I had a five day reservation . Actually should not of been charged for the first day because I didn't get what I paid for, sleep. The staff was always to busy on the computer to acknowledge guest unless you engaged them.

Ventajas: Clean rooms, nice decor

Desventajas: Not best value for the money. Breakfast expensive

Ventajas: The room was large by European standards. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Ventajas: Gran ubicación. Tranquilo y cerca de todo. La habitación era adecuada para mis necesidades y cómoda para dormir. El personal era servicial y amable. Sin duda volveremos.

Ventajas: clean hotel, very comfortable, great breakfast included. heated bathroom floors and heated towel rack were exceptional

Desventajas: no shampoo/conditioner in rooms

Ventajas: Hotel limpio, muy cómodo, desayuno incluido. pisos climatizados y toallas calientes, excepcional

Desventajas: No hay champú ni acondicionador en habitaciones

Ventajas: Everything about this stay was fantastic. The rooms were massive by European standards and so were the beds. They were heated nicely and had heated towel racks, lighting and tech was great. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was pretty good.

Desventajas: The only downside is you aren't right downtown but it's tough to say really what downtown actually is. It's such a big sprawl of a city so it's in Reykjavik but just not the heart I guess, they have a shuttle to make up for this.

Ventajas: Luxury hotel

Desventajas: Location was a bit away from the city centre. Taxi cabs are very expensive.

Ventajas: They were very Eco-friendly and "green." Pretty clean and modern.

Desventajas: The staff was not very accommodating at all. I reserved a superior room with a double bed, and they gave us 2 twin beds. After speaking with the front desk, all they could tell us was that they are fully booked, and that you're never guaranteed the type of bed you want, but we could push the 2 twin beds together if we'd like. No, thank you. We were only staying there for one night, so we decided not to push the issue. Checkout is at noon, but after reading the hotel info they provide you with in the room, I saw they offer late checkout at 2pm as an option. So, that evening I called the desk to request late checkout, and the woman I spoke with could not give me a yes or no. She said I have to speak with the day staff. I called at 8am the following morning and the woman informed me again that they are fully booked. Ok, but I'm just asking to check out at 2pm. Check in for any new guests is at 4pm. That still gives cleaning crew 2 hours to get the room ready for any new guests arriving. I even tried to compromise and say can we at least stay until 1pm? We were catching the shuttle to the airport at 2pm from the hotel, and didn't have anywhere to go for 2 hours if we checked out at noon. She told me they could hold our luggage and we could go downtown and shop. No, I'm not risking missing the airport shuttle because you told me to go to town and spend $$. So after me asking the same question in 4 different ways, she finally said ok, you can check out at 1pm. Well wow! Thanks a million, Grand Hotel. We won't be staying with you on our next trip to Iceland.

Ventajas: Comfortable bed.

Ventajas: The hotel was very clean, staff were helpful, our room had a beautiful view of the city and the water, and the room itself was nice. The double bed fit two large adults easily, which was a concern when we were booking. The bathroom also included a tub in addition to the shower. The lobby area was nice with large doors to see out when waiting for tour guides or cabs, and was filled with pamphlets of various activities. Hair dryer/iron & board/mini fridge and laundry service pick up available.

Desventajas: The location was a bit further from the city than anticipated, it's listed as a medium walking distance, it is walkable, just not desirable on cold/rainy nights, approximately 20kr cab ride. The dinner buffet was fairly expensive and we didn't really care for it, we preferred the restaurants around the corner or in town and the cost was similar or less, potentially regular ordering tasted better than the buffet. No shampoo/conditioner/lotion, I always bring my own, but wanted to note.

Ventajas: They have all the basics. The hotel may be good for large groups/bus loads of people who need a place far from city center to rest for a night.

Desventajas: Politely rude staff: At 1:45 PM and earlier they say "Checkin is at 2 PM". Service Industry speak for Piss Off. 1:58 PM, "Your room is not ready". 2:02 PM, "We don't know if it is ready" (communication problems with housekeeping?) They sometimes seemed annoyed answering questions people had about how to go somewhere in the city or which day excursions are available. "Here's a brochure." is their typical answer. They never tell you the actual details of where to go or what to expect. Rooms were very basic. Tiny pillows on bed. Two cotton comforters on double bed, each was the size of a large towel. Breakfast and Dinner are very over priced.

Ventajas: Nice parking lot

Desventajas: Room was very warn, sheets did not fit the bed and furniture was dirty. Staff was not friendly. The hotel was not inexpensive and was probably the second worst I have ever stayed in. I would NOT recommend staying at this hotel.

Ventajas: Easy access, lots of parking, modern building and rooms Great to see Monaco and Cyprus Olympic teams there too,

Ventajas: Breakfast Buffet was excellent, lots of nice areas to sit in in lobby and restaurant. Nice staff.

Ventajas: The duvet. Very comfortable. The breakfast is included and very filling, especially to brave the cold of Rekyavik.

Desventajas: The staff did mess up our tour reservation once and we had to ask management time and again for something to be done about it. The desk in the room had some coffee stains and the shower door does not prevent the water from going all over the bathroom! Plus the hotel was definitely a bit distant from city center.

Ventajas: Hotel de lujo

Desventajas: La ubicación era un poco lejos del centro de la ciudad. Los taxis son muy caros.

Ventajas: La cama era cómoda.
