Alda Hotel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"All is good."

Fosshotel Barón

8/10 Good

"We were given an accessible room (not needed) and the shower got the whole bathroom wet. It didn't drain well or squeegee (provided) anything close to dry. I was afraid of slipping on the wet floor during the night. After one shower, we just didn't use it the rest of our stay and did sponge baths. Otherwise, the hotel and staff were wonderful and the location was great."

The Reykjavik EDITION

8/10 Good

"The Edition is a stylish hotel with a great design and atmosphere. However, don’t expect full 5-star service. There is no daily turn-down service, and housekeeping won’t make the beds or provide fresh towels unless you specifically request it. We had to call or flag staff each time, which was disappointing at this price point and brand level. Overall, it’s a nice stay if you’re okay being proactive about basics, but it falls short of the seamless luxury experience the name suggests."

Center Hotels Plaza

8/10 Good

"Chambre standard, mais très bien. Le huitième étage était vraiment bien, avec belle vue sur la ville. Toutes les commodités nécessaires pour un court séjour. Je recommande cet établissement pour sa localisation, sa propreté et ses installations modernes. Le personnel est serviable et aidant, mais les sourires se font rares."
