I loved this hotel's location ... just a couple of very short blocks off of the main street, Laugavegur. I found that to be a bonus, because Laugavegur is very busy day and night. And unless you're going for the pub crawl party I think staying just a block or two away from that scene is ideal. I walked all... more

Just returned from a long weekend searching for the elusive Northern Lights, unfortunately the weather was not to good for them, but we still had a great time. The rooms are fairly basic but very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was good, but the view from the restaurant is exceptional. The spa is not all that, a bit dark and... more

What makes this hotel so wonderful is the staff -- especially the restaurant staff. We came in late evening in the middle of the only storm they had this winter and the restaurant was near to closing but they seated us and even let us order full course meals. The food is delicious. We were upgraded (I think) to a... more

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were there for four nights. The staff were very helpful. We paid the 10Euros to use the spa all week. It was worth it. We used it two times in the evening after long days of touring or shopping. Was nice. Rooms were newly renovated. Had a problem with the thermostat however.... more

This hotel is a great deal. The standard room is small but comfortable. The breakfast is ample. And the hotel is quiet, yet very close to everything you want to see and do. Be sure to spend the extra 10 euros for access to the spa, which includes a hot tub, sauna and steam shower. The admission fee is good... more

When booking this trip to Reykjavik we were looking for a hotel that was well situated, modern with good amenities and good value. We looked at several different reviews websites including TripAdvisor before we made our choice and were not disappointed. Reykjavik is not a big city and the Arnarhvoll is only a very short walk (2 mins) from the... more

First of all the reception staff was GREAT - each and every one were very helpful from accomodation arrangements, to travel arrangements - each interaction was comfortable. The hotel is very centrally located to the center of Reykjavik but it is also very quiet. A pleasant walk to a number of areas. We never needed transportation other than to go... more

We were glad to be allowed to check in early on the day of our arrival. The hotel is a couple of short blocks from hard-core downtown but is quite convenient. No street noise. Regular breakfast buffet was quite good -- several choices and good ones -- and was served in a beautiful room on the 8th floor, overlooking the... more
