101 Hotel earns acclaim for its modern, clean rooms and helpful staff, with the hotel's central Reykjavik location being a highlight for guests eager to explore the city. However, some guests have called out issues with noise from nearby clubs and streets, impacting their sleep, and others mention the lack of USB chargers and design inefficiencies in rooms.
While the atmosphere is deemed stylish, the value proposition is questioned due to high costs and unexpected charges, leaving room for improvement in guest satisfaction.

Detailed Reviews
Hotel was perfectly placed for exploring the city. Staff were super helpful and happy to accommodate any requests. We ate at the bistro around the corner for lunch prior to our afternoon/evening visit to the blue lagoon and food and service were excellent. The only negative so to speak about our stay would be the bathroom. Firstly having no door was not ideal especially if travelling with friends as a flimsy curtain did not afford any privacy. Secondly having a wet room set up with the shower right next to the toilet meant the toilet was drenched every time you showered. The tiles on the floor although lovely were extremely slippy when wet especially as the water didn’t drain quickly and the floor around the toilet remained wet and slippy for some time. At least a blade to swipe the water into the drain would be helpful to prevent slips. That said we did thoroughly enjoy our stay.

This hotel is in a great location, across the street from the downtown Tour Bus stop #6, making it very convenient for the airport bus and all the bus tours. Every tour company picks up there. The neighborhood around it is full of restaurants, bars, and shops. It's centrally located, and easy walking distance to both Hallgrimskirkja cathedral and the historic city center. I walked around a lot in the evenings and loved the vibe of the neighborhood.
Oddly, there are no signs identifying the hotel from the street or sidewalk level. Just walk where your phone map tells you, and go inside. The 101 doormat inside the lobby was the only hint I was in the right place. Hotel owners: could you etch a 101 in the glass on your front door or put up a small sign for pedestrians?
My room was very modern and clean, with a comfortable bed and all the amenities one expects. There are two things to be aware of though. 1) Only stay there with a spouse or partner (or solo), not friends or children, because there is nothing separating the glass shower from the bedroom (no wall, no doors). 2) The street side of the hotel can be quite loud on Friday and Saturday night, as this is a big night-life district and the street is busy with people loudly having a good time. But my room faced the inner courtyard and was very quiet.

Poorly designed rooms:
Bathrooms have no doors nor separation from the bedroom.
No storage space other than a small hanging rail and 3 wall mounted open cubes.
No electricity sockets anywhere near the beds.
Blinds not made to fit the windows with big gaps on either sides. In the winter this is not an issue but In summer it would definitely be.
Poor soundproofing. However during covid there are curfews so the noise from the bars is not an issue.
Amenities and service:
Good housekeeping twice a day. Nice Aveda toiletries for free, however you have to pay for anything else ( shaving lots, toothbrush, female kit…). Decent hair dryer, bathrobe and slippers provided though.
Friendly staff all over.
Room were not inspected before check in. First room the heating was not working. Second room had 2 dead squashed mosquitos stuck on the blinds!
When I asked for still water instead of sparkling complementary water someone suggested I drank the tap water. Only one offered per stay.
Very limited selection at breakfast and restaurant food menu.
Bar closed on Sundays and Mondays, again possibly due to covid.
I never stay in 4 star hotels so I am not sure if this is the standard in 4 stars and can’t compare it like for like to anything else I’ve experienced. And to be honest had I known the edition had opened I would have gone there without hesitation. But this one was recommended by friends who had visited Iceland before edition had opened and it was probably the best option then.
It is probably not a bad hotel if you’re not a fussy demanded guest I guess and it is quite pleasant if you look past the room issues. It even has a little gym and spa and some interesting art.

Room 403 was very nice but behind the coat hanger (open to the wall) there was a lot of mold on the wall. Breakfast not included, very poor, little choice and sparkling water also charged in addition to the breakfast. go to the bakery on the main street instead of spending money on breakfast at the hotel. Last note I DO NOT recommend this hotel because next to a disco with loud music that can be heard in the room and drunk guys vomiting and peeing in the corner of the hotel. In the morning they wash the road but there is still a lot of traffic and noise.

Cheaply furnished

Overall I really liked this hotel - the rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable although a little more closet space would be nice. We received upgraded rooms, which was a nice touch as there was an email glitch that did not forward my confirmation, so I wasn't 100% sure we had a room when we arrived late at night (but we did!)
We stayed twice during our trip, and I would definitely stay here again. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the location to the sights, shops, and restaurants of Reykjavik are all easy walking distance. There are parking garages nearby too if you cannot get (or fit into) the 6 spots the hotel has reserved. We had nice views from both our rooms.
Be aware that there are bars nearby that are very popular on weekends so you may hear some street noise during your stay (obviously not the hotel's fault.) But this is the same anywhere you stay downtown in Reykjavik. Earplugs are available, and I use a white noise app on my phone, which helps.

Location, location, location. I have to admit it was hard to find, but it is located in the heart of the action. Hotel is on the south west corner of Hverfisgata and Ingolfsstraeti. There is a Taxi only parking right in front, use that to check in if you have a car. The parking is really tight. We were doing sight seeing so we wanted a car. For exploring the heart of Reykajavik you don't need a car and a taxi to this location would help. It is a small hotel 36 rooms I think, but they are really nice rooms. Bed was excellent. Compared to Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm (no hotel under $600/night) the bed was the best of all of them. Staff was super helpful in getting around town and checking in the hotel. I would not hesitate to go again.

Our room #405 overlooked the Harpa Concert Hall (beautiful modern glass building with the harbor and the mountains behind it), the Culture House, a city park, was right next to Bus Stop #6 for Flybus (airport shuttle) and tour/ excursion pick-up's, and was within a 10-15 minute walk to many attractions, restaurants and shopping. Location amazing! No special perks as others have mentioned even though part of the Marriott system. Was not extraordinarily expensive given that many hotels are very very expensive in Reykjavik.
Pros: Lobby and bar beautiful. Staff courteous, friendly and efficient. Very clean, comfortable beds. Liked the modern aesthetic of the room. Lots of light through the windows, but with well fitted black out shades (not needed as much for us given December). Great desk with multiple outlets overlooking the view. We went to a bar across the street for dinner, Islenski Barinn - reasonably priced, very lively (long line out the door, though we got there at a lucky moment and got right in), very friendly and welcoming, and the food was terrific!
Cons: No outlets next to either side of the bed, really unacceptable! No teapot or coffee pot, major bummer in the mornings. Halls are very dimly lit. The bathroom and bedroom are wide open to each other, that's not so appealing, though the glass enclosure around the toilet was fine. A bit more storage/ bigger closet would have been appreciated.
We were there off season so the hotel was sparsely occupied and no loud noise from neighboring restaurants/ bars, but I could see this as a potential problem during holidays/ in high season.

The room was modern and clean, and we really liked the lobby and restaurant/bar. The location is also tremendous, you're right in the middle of the main business district in Rejkavik and can walk everywhere in town. One downside to watch for - the walls are THIN. We could hear people outside all night coming back from the bars and also noises from all around the hotel. Other than that, it was great.

Visited the hotel in July with my husband and highly recommend it, we stayed in a Double Deluxe room.
The design is beautiful and the staff was very helpful, providing us with good tips and guidance what to do in Reykjavik. If you arrive early I would recommend requesting an early check-in because the check-in starts at 15:00, I sent an e-mail few days before my arrival and they gave me access to my room at noon.
We liked the location, located next to the main street Laigarvegur.
They also have a spa and a gym that is free of charge.

Dear Shulag, thank you kindly for your question. We are more than happy to arrange airport transfer for our guests. In regards to early check in, please reach out to me directly as I would be happy to assist with checking if availability will allow early check in on the arrival day.
I look so much forward to welcome you to our beautiful hotel.
