ODDSSON Midtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel and staff, although a little far away from all city activities. Bus stop is also half mile away. Great food. Would recommend."

Hótel Múli

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room bit small for us but had a good nights stay. Breakfast was amazing. Nice variety. Will stay again."

Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed one night before beginning a cruise. Close by the cruise port which was convenient. Good breakfast was included, Room was on the small size but served us well for our needs."

Icelandic Apartments by Heimaleiga

8/10 Good

"This property is located in the suburbs of Reykjavik -- on the eastern edge of town. There is an important issue not made clear on the Expedia listing: there is no receptionist. Nobody is there at the site. Even if you book here on Expedia, the owner will email you a code that you use to enter the property and your room. I did not know this and got stranded at the door searching for the email for about 10 minutes. The apartment itself was quiet, spacious and bright -- I liked it. Downside is that they don't make up your room daily or remove your trash. I stayed for 3 nights, and they never made my room. The washing machine on my floor was broken. There is plenty of parking in front of the building. Locations is great for exploring Iceland -- it is better than staying downtown. I saw solo travelers, families and couples."

Hotel Ísland - Spa & Wellness Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and staff was helpful. Good location"

Reykjavik Domes

10/10 Excellent

"This exceeded our expectations it was beautiful. We loved the hot tub. Beds were comfortable. Such a fun way to end our trip. This is not camping in the middle of Iceland. It is only a 15 minute drive to Rajkovic which we liked so we could go out to nice dinners at night. It’s kind of in an old industrial park when you look around the scene isn’t that nice but when you’re in the dome, it was really cool to watch sunset. While inside you don’t feel like you’re in an industrial zone, but if you’re looking for wilderness, this is not the place for you. This is just a quick drive outside of the city and somewhere fun to stay well in Iceland. I would recommend it to anyone going to Iceland with a family. The kitchen came in handy although we forgot half our food in the cabinet because we put it away sorry……. They left us some sodas and even some champagne in the fridge for our arrival. My only suggestion is more towels. And maybe a table and chairs out by the hot tub so that we could have coffee in the morning outside"

Blue Mountain Apartments by Heimaleiga

10/10 Excellent

"Great location as it was an easy drive to city center and even easier to head out on the road for our daily adventures. Beautiful views and nice to have a small kitchen with a grocery store nearby. Bistro across the road was lovely too."
