Reykjavik hotels in Hlíðar

Pros: Great location, nice and modern room but be careful of your head if you stay in the corner room.

Pros: Design of the room, we liked it a lot, even though the lights on the ceiling look like a spider:) well equipped kitchen in the room very good location near the main street Free parking Very good communication with the hotel, we got lots of information in advance which was much appreciated Wifi

Cons: The room (number 2) was on the ground level, even a bit below the ground. All people walking past on the street were looking into our room which was not comfortable. We had to put the blinds down but then there was no day light and we had to turn on the lights. For 1-2 nights ok but not for longer stay The reception office was next to our room so we were woken up by the receptionist who had opened doors and was calling loudly.

Pros: Within walking distance from lots of restaurants, shopping and just strolling around.

Cons: Everything was excellent. Friendly staff, great location, cool room with lots of electrical plugs. Would definitely stay here when.

Pros: Great attention to detail fine finishes good location parking

Cons: no staff on site as arrived late

Pros: Room is spacious, clean, very good looking and fully equipped.

Cons: We had a problem checking in and the guy who would fix the card was late.

Pros: Rooms are so beautiful and cosy. We had a view room on Hallgrímskirkja church. There is an equipped kitchen very practice. The bathroom is so incredible.

Cons: All is done with code , there is nobody to welcome you :( . BE CAREFUL don't book the private place option because the parking is for everybody even you don't pay. So we paid a expensive option for NOTHING. It's a little far of city center by foot ....

Pros: Location and clean

Cons: Ground floor / a bit noisy

Pros: The room felt quite high end. Free tea and coffee. Bathroom was nice. I generally liked the design even if it was a touch shabby.

Cons: When I checked in the lady on the phone checking me in (no one was there) appeared to have lost my booking. While I'd already upgraded she then told me good News, I'd be upgraded! And gave me the room directly opposite the entrance to the building on the ground floor which was exactly as standard rooms were pictured. This room was too warm to sleep in and prone to noise... And had a car park outside. I called to ask for a fan and no dice. No lamps to keep on overnight.

Pros: Privacy. Quiet. Modern. Small. Short walk from bus station and downtown main strip and church.

Cons: TV channels were comical. 800 channels only about 25 worked and all were multiply duplicated... But who goes to Reykjavik for the television??? Still, it could have been easier.

Pros: Clean, good location and large rooms

Cons: There are no staff anywhere

Pros: The lovely woman who checked us in was friendly and personal. If I was going to stay for a week in Reykjavík I would book this hotel. It was comfortable, unique, and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed our night in a very comfortable king sized bed, the spectacular shower and other thoughtful touches.

Cons: I only had one night.

Pros: Good location short walking distance from the church and downtown. Big room with nice comfy bed. More like a small appartment. Good price for Iceland.

Cons: Nothing really, was what we expected.

Pros: Nice place to stay in Reykjavík. Very comfortable, clean and fancy. A lot of parking spots near the hotel. Just 10 minutes walking from main highlights and main Street.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful room and decor throughout the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Location is on the edge of the city centre so it is little farther away from some of the main bus facilities. Highly recommend getting door to door pick up for the airport buses.

Pros: Breakfast, bar, location, decor, space, feel, cleanliness, modern

Pros: Awesome staff & cozy! The hotel is also eco friendly which I LOVE!

Pros: Staff are amazing, very helpful!

Pros: Great location, breakfast, view of ocean and excellent service by the staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Wonderful cozy rooms, nice and helpful staff. Perfect location to explore Reykjavik.

Cons: Not the cheapest choice ;)

Pros: Everything about our stay here was wonderful. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the decor was lovely, and there was coffee and tea available at all times. The hotel is located about two blocks from the main street and is a 10 minute walk to restaurants and shops, and about a 30 minute walk to the harbor.

Cons: Nothing - everything was as we'd hoped!

Pros: We really liked staying here. We were given an upgrade for our 4 nights which was a lovely beginning! Our room looked over the front and had a sea view, our daughter’s room was a little smaller opposite ours looking over the back of the hotel. We found the Rooms quite charming. We enjoyed returning from a busy day out to the warmth of the lounge for happy hour. I would definitely stay in another Guldsmeden hotel.

Pros: Quiet. Reasonable price. 24 hr staff, coffee, and apples freely available

Pros: Wonderful staff, great Happy Hour, breakfast. Please note below: I am not from Norwalk, CT. I am from Windsor, CA.

Cons: No!

Pros: I found the Eyja Gudsmeden Hotel to be modern and clean. The common areas were cozy and a great meeting place to have a drink and a snack and relax. The staff was incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend staying here.

Pros: The lightning of the pods was great also pod is fully equipped with tv and headphones... The living area was very comfortable with good

Cons: The matrix wasn’t comfortable

Pros: I loved the friendly staff. I absolutely loved the sleeping capsules as it provided privacy. It even had its own TV! It’s across the street from a grocery store if you wanted to get food.

Pros: The staff were lovely and it was very easy accomodation

Cons: It’s a little bit out of the way from everything

Pros: Did not like anything about the accomodation

Cons: The flat screen TV,didn't work .Only one air vent worked.The flimsy plastic moulds of the pod and the hit and miss lighting gave it a very poor feel. Lockers were not large enough to take any amount of luggage,so you end up spending the night in a hot box with no air cuddling your backpack.In an already cramped room containing four pods,the locker was placed in front of the access to our pod making it difficult to get in and out. Bathrooms were not clean ,with an assortment of clothing draped around .With the joy of bad jazz playing the entire time whether you wanted to listen or not.

Pros: Convenient location slightly out of City center Good WiFi Nice common area including bar and fully equipped kitchen

Cons: Bathroom not very clean - but ok for Icelandic standard Capsule is quite fragile and it doesn't lock despite expectations, so you have to use separate locker which is rather small

Pros: Location

Cons: Too noisy

Pros: Provided breakfasts were nice, TV inside of pod was good at the end of the day. USB charging ports inside pod. Affordable bar inside hostel.

Cons: Pods were very creaky, doors on single pods can't be secured closed. Not much noise insulation. Still considerably better than a normal hostel bed.

Pros: I liked the location and the kitchen facilities were nice.

Cons: The pods were very noisy! Echoed any movement from the pod above. There was dirt and junk in the sliding doors of the pod which seemed gross. And the pod doo didn’t lock so your belongings and yourself weren’t any safer sleeping than in a bunk bed which was a disappointment because it was part of the reason I booked. Also the lockers were extremely small so only other place to lock suitcases was a side room not in the room so you had to get everything out for night and next day in advance. Pretty disappointed considering the price point.

Pros: Inside the pods you have lots of space. You have your own privacy. Also, guests usually were very quiet and didn't bother other ones in the night. Kitchen was clean, as well as the bathroom.

Cons: There is nobody at the reception at night. Basically that is not necessary, but just if you forget to the code and cant get in or situations like that.

Pros: Not much

Cons: This was the worst smelling place I have stayed in my life. Filthy. Just gross.

Pros: Easy walk or bus to downtown, grocery across the street to save $ on food and great staff. Recommend it!

Cons: It’s a little cramped and noisy, but that is true of most hostels.

Pros: Interesting experience

Cons: Some pods need repair. No room for luggage except tiny lockers

Pros: Comfortable, convenient, value for money. Being able to cook made it more affordable.

Cons: A client talking on the phone in the bathroom at 6 in the morning.

Pros: Great espresso, clean, quiet, safe, good location for tourists as 15 minute walk to tourist district but in a neighborhood.

Pros: Nice location. If you like desolation.

Cons: The price was ridiculous. The toilet didn’t work.

Pros: Super helpful owner - so friendly and welcoming. Complete kitchen facilities. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Convenient location. Great value!

Pros: Everything was super clean and very comfortable

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Best price/value ratio on Iceland. Free coffee and tea on site. Great kitchen. Not too crowded. Cute staff

Cons: The bulding and the rooms are old and there's no care in making the place likeable. On the street in a not so nice block.

Pros: Well equipped kitchen, bathroom on every floor. Very friendly staff.

Pros: + Location a bit outside of the city is quite helpful, if you are travelling from BSI bus station + the price is actually cheap considering the price niveau in Iceland, but for only a few bucks more you get a much better quality

Cons: My girlfriend and me had booked the guesthouse twice this month, in each case for a one-night-transfer in Reykjavik before heading to other destinations in Iceland. Unfortunately, we were not able to stay there for the first night, after I had a bad accident with a broken bone and had to cancel about two weeks of our four-week-trip in Iceland, staying that time in hospital. The Igdlo guesthouse was the only one of around ten accomodations in this period, that showed absolutely no concession or kindness - they had the money and didn't care about anything else. On the second date, I was at least able to continue the trip on crutches, so the following remarks are based on that stay: - impersonal welcome and correspondence (that confirmed my impression above) - rooms were noisy, spartanic and without any charme - that might be okay for a cheap hostel, but in particular the beds are too small for two persons; the sink in the room spread an unpleasant smell; bedsheets had stains

Pros: Well-run Very good staff clean and good value and location for a stay in a very nice but expensive city

Pros: This guesthouse became our home away from home. The owner is so sweet and helpful, going out of his way to help make our stay successful. He stored our extra luggage while we were traveling, two times, and for a FREE. The kitchen is well equipped and clean, with plenty of fridge storage. Shared bathrooms were clean, rooms were clean, comfy beds, and so quiet. Location was perfect ~ within walking distance of restaurants, bus station, grocery store, and other attractions. The prices for these rooms were very reasonable - some of the lowest we paid for lodging in Iceland. The staff made us feel welcome, and made our stay so easy, comfortable, and worry free. The flower garden around the entrance, with picnic tables and a sweet kitty made staying here even more enjoyable. You'll love staying here!

Cons: Everything was dirty, including the common kitchen, and the front desk gave te let to our room to another guest who ealked right into our room while we were sleeping! They don't care, so don't stay there. The plae doesn't even have a sign to find it.

Cons: The old mattresses.. not very comfortable.

Pros: Nice hotel. reception works 24/7. It was very convenient because we arrived at midnight. Staff is very nice.

Pros: We only needed a bed for one night and didn‘t expect to much for the low price. The location is ok, walking distance to the city center and there is a bonus supermarket nearby.

Cons: Our room was not as modern as it looked on the pictures, quite old carpet and not very cosy. Shower and sink in the room were quite smelly.

Cons: It was a little bit of a walk to see the sites if you choose not to drive.

Pros: Although small, the room was cozy and had a nice bed. Personnel was very friendly. Free coffee and tea available as well. Price was fair.

Cons: Room was quite small. Not very sound proof. We had the room next to the 24/7 reception, so we could constantly hear the talking and the bell going off very clearly.

Cons: No tv. Shower pressure weak. Toilet ran long to fill. Few accessible outlets.

Cons: The hotel lacks charm (it is however very functional) and is not located in the old district (what was clear when we booked it).

Pros: The location was really the best thing. The rooms were nice and spacious. The breakfast was good they also offer ready made sandwiches and drinks that you can just grab and go in the lobby. It was a comfortable place to stay.
