We arrived having booked a room for 2 people, as we are a gay couple I think the owner got confused and gave us 2 single rooms. One room in the basement was disgusting - more like a police cell! We asked to be moved so then we got a room in the loft, where you could literally not swing... more

My partner and I have just returned after staying 4 nights at this hotel having booked via Icelandair. The hotel has a brilliant location, it was clean and the service was brilliant. It is basic but for what you pay its great value - if you want lots of luxury then of course you are going to pay more especially... more

We were recently due to stay at Hotel Leifur Eiriksson having booked through a package offered by IcelandAir. Upon arrival we were given some vague excuse about one of the rooms being 'broken' and bumped to another hotel elsewhere in the city on the basis that this would be a free-upgrade. Having read some of the reviews on this site,... more

We stayed here twice on our 10 day round trip of Iceland. The first stay was fine. The photos on the hotel's official website are rather misleading. The whole place feels more like a youth hostel than a 3*hotel. The staff are ok but not friendly or that helpful. We stayed in a twin and a 'triple' room. The triple... more

This is an ok hotel well situated in the town centre. Check-in was quick and easy for us (others had to wait whilst their rooms were sorted out). The small room was theoretically a twin but really was two singles pushed together with two single duvets under a double bed spread. The ensuite was very small but workable. TV was... more

Facilities in this hotel were what you expect from a basic hotel not a mid range 3 * hotel. No hairdrier and they struggled to find me one. Only 4 coat hangers in the wardrobe. No toiletries. Our room in the annexe was of a good size and larger than most but the toilet/shower was minute, about as big as... more

I have just returned from a long weekend in Reykjavik and I had the best time ever. The only thing that could have been better was the hotel. It was very clean but very basic, more like a hostel. The rooms were very simple, no tea/coffee facilities or hairdryers. The bathroom was very very compact. The only problem with our... more

Visited this hotel in September 09 It enjoys a great location next to the Cathedral, only problem is that someone climbed up during the middle of the night and started ringing the bell at 2am. What a clown, should be locked up! Building work is noisy and goes on all day. When I arrived I was told the room was... more

Stayed here 2 nights. The first we spent in a tiny room on the fop floor with a sloping ceiling over half where you could hardly stand up, a tv that barely worked, windows that didn't open and the narrowest beds I've ever seen. Complained bitterly at the poor value and was moved to a marginally better room for the... more
