Top Reykjavik University Hotel Reviews

The Reykjavik EDITION

10/10 Excellent

"Very very room, the staff was very helpful, short distance to city center, over all a great stay."

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying at Cityhub, location was great, really good value for money. I was a bit skeptical about the communal bathroom situation but found it perfectly fine, showers are individual and behind lockable doors with shelves and hangers for your stuff so you have plenty of privacy for the whole process, everything was always clean, shampoo and shower gel provided. Loved that the communal kitchen provided a fridge as well as kettle grill etc so we weren’t as limited with snacks as I thought we might be. Beds were clean and comfortable and staff were helpful and friendly. Over all I have no complaints, you get exactly what you need and exactly what you expect when booking :)"

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel!!"

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

Guesthouse Sunna

Bus Hostel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"Its been 10 years since I've stayed at the Bus Hostel, and while I do like the renovations, them not having reception past 4pm and none at all on weekends makes it slightly difficult to check in online. Also considering, that most flights arrive outside of those times makes is a little frustrating. But I called the help line and it was sorted out fairly quickly."
