Top Álftavatn Hotel Reviews

201 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was basic. Staff was excellent. Needs a comfortable chair"

The Greenhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and breakfast"

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful facility, very central. Late check out upon request."

Hotel Selfoss

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was a last-minute pivot to book here and we did not regret it. The front desk was very kind and helpful, checking into our room was a breeze, and the bar was a lovely place to unwind and grab a cocktail. It is conveniently located within walking distance of some restaurants and easy to access some activities. A lovely hotel and would stay again!"

ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Beautiful setting. Spa and hot pool was very nice and relaxing, and cocktails are available to order to the pool too. The food was excellent in the restaurant, with very good service. The check in and check out was easy and friendly. The room was high quality, modern, clean with everything we needed. The staff even helped me dry my coat in the drying room after a wet day, which was a great bonus for the stay. Highly recommend."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

10/10 Excellent

"After checking into a couple self check in places we realized that you must enter the code in slowly, it seems if you press the numbers quickly that it doesn't recognize it and fails. Once we figured it out the self check in went smoothly."

Buubble Hotel - Hrosshagi

10/10 Excellent

"This would not be for everyone but you have to be prepared to stay in a clear “igloo” like bubble. Staff was friendly and there upon arrival but it is a small cabin with 2 shared bathrooms and showers for everyone staying. There is a fridge and coffee if wanted. The only thing in the bubble is a very comfortable bed, a small light and electric outlet. Each bubble is private and there is nothing like looking overhead into trees and the sky. The bed was the most comfortable bed with plenty of down pillows and comforters. They give you a lantern if you need to use it for the evening. We woke up to the sunrise very refreshed. Definitely an interesting and fun experience."

Hotel Laxnes

8/10 Good

"Very quiet area of town outside Reykjavik. Hotel was clean and had plenty of amenities. Only scary part was someone walking into our hotel room at 2am because the door wasn’t closed properly. Didn’t learn till after that you have to lift door for it to properly lock. Overall, was a nice stay"

Bella Apartments & Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Very large place, with full refrigerator, stove and microwave - even has a washer and dryer. Heating is in the floor, so slow to adjust to the temperature you want, but calling the property management was helpful in trouble-shooting what we should do to get the place cooler (in September!). Walkable to the new old town section and right across the street from a Netto. Very handy location."
