Top Reykjavik University Hotel Reviews

Miðgarður by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Location is very good"

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Good location near the harbour. We had a balcony room with a great view. Good size room, lovely breakfast."

Igdlo Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Great place. 3 blocks from Hallgrim… church"

Hotel Von

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely time staying at Hotel Von! The staff were friendly and the room was very clean and well maintained."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was excellent. The location was superb. The room was elegant. I can't ask for more. Extremely satisfied."

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"We paid for an early check in and got upgraded to the king suite. Although our stay was only for one night, we were so impressed with everything including the friendly helpful staff members. Would 100% stay here again and would recommend to anyone!"

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a lot of unique charm. Much better than the cookie-cutter corporate crap, the vibe is hip & comfy, and I appreciated all the common areas. As expected, the private rooms are much nicer than the dorms, which are cramped and not the most comfy. Location is excellent - and the bar downstairs is a nice touch."

Hotel Reykjavik Saga

10/10 Excellent

"We were very satisfied with our recent five-day stay at Hotel Reykjavik Saga. It’s a fantastic hotel conveniently located in the heart of Reykjavik. It’s within walking distance of great restaurants, museums, parks, stores, and the harbor. We found it charming that we could hear the bells from a nearby cathedral pealing at the top of every hour. Our stay was wonderful. At check-in, Matteo of the Reception staff greeted us warmly. Upon learning that we were there for our 25th wedding anniversary, Matteo assigned us a nice room on the fifth floor with a beautiful view of Reykjavik and easy access to the sun deck. He also arranged to have our room decorated with two love birds made out of bath towels. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, featuring a variety of hot and cold dishes and quite a few delicious Icelandic specialties. The breakfast staff was cheerful, courteous, and helpful. We enjoyed using the dry sauna, cold bath tub, and shower area. Unfortunately, the steam sauna was out of order. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Saga. We highly recommend this hotel to all travelers planning a trip to the beautiful city of Reykjavik."

Center Hotels Laugavegur

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property and right on the pedestrian street that goes to the waterfront"
