The staff were so friendly and helpful. They arranged our transfers back to airport. Brilliant advice on what to go and visit during our stay. They even surprised my daughter with some wine and chocolates for her birthday. The location was perfect too

Janet United Kingdom

Good sized clean warm & quiet room..good facilities..perfect central location for bars & restaurants..helpful staff with 24 hour reception.Olga was particularly helpful ..hard to find any faults to be fair

Robert United Kingdom

Nice hotel, warm ambience, friendly staff and very central location.

Pelle Denmark

the bedding was fantastic quality. the breakfast was mainly great and offered different plant based milk options but lacked vegan hot options. Fried potatoes without the bacon cooked through would have been a winner.

Alma United Kingdom

Breakfast was brilliant and the staff were very helpful and informative

Lee United Kingdom

Great location in the middle of everything, staff very friendly and beds very comfortable

Nicola United Kingdom

The best localisation ever. Very close to everything, from shops and restaurants and bars, to the bus station to get to the airport. Breakfast was great with a nice choice of options. Sauna and outside pool opened for guests all the time was a perfect addition.

Magdalena Poland

The breakfast buffet was excellent - the best you can imagine for a buffet. The staff was over-the-top friendly. We stayed in Iceland for 10 days and these were by far the most comfortable beds and duvets. The location was in the center and walkable to everything. It's hard to tell exactly where to stay from research but this was perfect. The other reviews said the hotel was loud but it was not. The noise outside of our room was very very brief and minimal. Overall, the noise level in our room was much less than most hotels. Even though the hotel was full, we hardly saw other people outside of breakfast. There was a hot tub just under our room but the few people who were in there were quiet (silent, really) and respectful. The noise was absolutely not an issue and we would definitely stay here again because the location, comfortable rooms, breakfast and service were all excellent.

Diane United Kingdom

    Asked about: Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View • Answered on 24 October 2019
  • Is there parking ?
    The hotel does not have specific parking spaces. There are public parking lots in front of the hotel and in the area. They have the following paying hours: Mondays-Fridays: 09:00-18:00 Saturdays: 10:00-16:00 Sundays: Free of charge Keep an eye out for the parking zones; P1 and P2. P1 is the most expensive and charges 370 ISK per hour. P1 parking spaces are located on the main street, Laugavegur, but you’ll find the P2 zones on the side streets out from Laugavegur, charging 190 ISK per hour. There is also a parking garage 200m east of the hotel that you can use, at Laugavegur 94. The first hour costs 150ISK and the following hours 100ISK. It is open from 07:00-00:00 daily, but you can leave your car inside overnight. I hope you find this information useful. Reception Team Alda Hotel.
