We stayed in this beautiful old hotel in November last year. It was bitterly cold outside but the hotel offered a comfortable level of warmth, as opposed to awful cloying heats some hotels have. The staff were as good as you'd expect. They offered to book any trips we wanted and were always on hand for local advice or directions... More

We recently visited Reykjavik for two nights and wanted to spend our brief time there in one of the city’s finer downtown hotels. The Borg delivered most of what we wanted -- a charming, older stone building with character and atmosphere , elegantly decorated in art deco style, a good-sized room, very nice staff, a quiet night’s sleep, and an...

I just finished an enjoyable 3 night stay at Hotel Borg. The location is absolutely perfect. On a quiet street facing a park right in the heart of downtown Reykjavik. Less than five minutes walk to many bars, restaurants, shops, supermarket, bank, taxi stand, the harbor, etc. Like many readers, I was concerned about the reports of noise. I had... More

We recently stayed 4 nights at the Borg. The location is perfect with excellent walking distance to most restaurants, bars and shopping. I was a bit apprehensive because of other reviews regarding noise. However, of the four nights, I heard noise only one night and it did not keep me awake. The double paned windows really help mitigate the sound.... More

While we really love the location, our room was disappointing. We were in room 302 and although it was larger than the first one they showed us, we did not like having to go up the decrepit old elevator. The room itself was pretty stark. Also, they need to do a better job at blackout curtains. The staff in the... More

We stayed at the hotel for two nights during November and we had a lovely stay. We were in a deluxe room on the 5th floor, which was very comfortable and elegantly furnished in art deco style. The hotel is very conveniently located in central Reykjavik and its perfect base to explore the city where all the restaurants and shops... More

We stayed here for 5 nights and loved it. Hotel Borg is in a perfect location in downtown Rejkayvik. There are plenty of great restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated in the art deco style and the staff were very friendly. Parking on the street or right up the road in a big parking... More

So here's the deal. I recognize that this review will not be for everyone. In fact, if you are planning on visiting Reykjavik with your family or significant other or something like that, then The Borg Hotel will probably suit your purposes just fine, and you can stop reading this now. If on the other hand you are single, visiting... More

Right in the centre of Reykjavik, on the main square, this is the perfect taste of luxury before heading into the wilds of Iceland. Everything about it is excellent, if pricey - rooms, cocktails, breakfast. The staff are friendly and the bathrobes are fluffy and I'd recommend it to anyone!
