Reykjavík is a nice city, clean friendly people and they speak English...but it is super expensive to eat there or to buy clothes or souvenirs. Its a good place to stay if your plans are for exploring the country
I could not say enough of this city. I just love it, the colorful houses definitely helps a lot when the sun is not shining in the sky and I love its vibrant life, day and night. Worth a 2-day visit, at least and make sure you visit the Harpa Concert Hall and eat in little local restaurants!
Rent a car. Iceland is easy to navigate, Reykjavík is actually small. However we might try to do a circle of the whole island next time which would mean staying in different places. Buy duty free alcohol upon arrival.
It is a very walkable city and the people are all very nice. Food is expensive but good. Lots of interesting stores to check out! The little restaurant Loki near the Guest inn had an amazing smoked salmon sandwich!
Reykjavik can be easy to get around without a car if you stay downtown. We downloaded several walks and booked tours. Everyone goes to hot pools, geysers, lava tubes, and glaciers. There appears to be an excellent bus system as well. We felt we could get a good “first time” feel of Iceland doing this. Everything is expensive in Iceland, especially nice restaurants. Food in markets seemed limited to us who are used to lots of freah vegetables all year. Book an apartment with a small kitchen, and buy your alcohol in the duty-free shop right at the baggage claim at airport. This was a tip that saved us lots of money!
Friendly, clean and accessible downtown. Cute and cozy attractions. Nothing too eye-opening. So few people that it felt eerie even on the weekends. It's far enough from the airport that you'll need to pay $$$ to get here after landing. However, hotel prices are exorbitant! You can walk this area in one day. Very little to explore. Also wasn't impressed with the artwork or culture.
“The hotel is located just on the street to the Hillgrimskirma, which is the center of the city and very convenient. The room was spacious and very comfy. The bathroom is beginning to age but clean and good enough. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The parking lot is just on the street, 1,5 USD per hour until 18:00 which is very cheap compared to everything else in Iceland.”
“This hotel is in a Good location. It's very close to Reykjavik center. Good clean icelandic water to shower in.”
“Kind staff, modern and excellent facilities, the best location you can imagine for visiting Reykjavik downtown.”
“This was a great base of operations in Reykjavik. The room has that IKEA look common at mid priced hotels. But the kitchenette was very complete, the room was comfortable and quiet, and the location is only a short walk to the city center. Highly recommended. ”
“Very nice, small hotel. The owner and her staff were very friendly and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. For example, due to flight delays we arrived late in the morning but she left the breakfast buffet open just for us. The hotel is in walking distance of downtown Reykjavik and located in a nice neighborhood. There is also a public hot pool close by. Ask for recommendations. Easily our best hotel experience in a long time! We will be back for sure. ”
