Downtown Reykjavik, 1.7 km from University of Iceland

"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Ion City Hotel. Great central location on the main pedestrian street in the middle of Reykjavík. The hotel’s central location made for convenient access to the sites, restaurants, bars, etc. The front desk staff was very helpful with recommendations, getting us a taxi, etc. Our international flight arrived early morning. Once our room was cleaned and ready they allowed us to check in early. Would definitely stay at the Zion City again."

Top University of Iceland Hotel Reviews

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fine"

CityHub Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding property, love the concept of all the different buildings scattered over a few blocks that the hotel is taken over and converted into hotel rooms. The rooms are exceptionally spacious very pretty tons of amenities, including coffee in the room and everything was really well organized and beautiful. The staff was also very, very helpful and very kind. Would definitely recommend."

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

8/10 Good

"Overall happy with the stay. We had some inconvenience due to their parking area is on renovation. We are being asked to park bit far in a grocery store parking lot. We couldn’t bring our luggage to the room due to the distance,other than that no issues, I am assuming that’s a temporary problem. I would recommend this place."

Exeter Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to the waterfront downtown area. If you are subject to noise, do not book the rooms adjacent to the waterfront as it is noisy and to cool the room down, you need to open the windows. I asked them to move me to a garden room in the back and it was fine, no view of the water but for me a good trade-off to get a good nights sleep. Be aware, they only have seven or eight parking spots on a first come first serve basis, and you must pay for one of those. Otherwise, you must download the Parka parking app and find a Roadside spot to park, which is a 5 to 10 minute walk. Overall a great experience!"

City Center Hotel

8/10 Good

"No one is around. no questions answered. Self Check-in is a ridiculous concept. I ran out of coffee in my room three times, had to hunt the cleaning ladies down to get some pods for the nespresso machine, but other times had to go without morning coffee---really? No tissues in the room, blowing my nose on toilet paper for this expensive room. My last day I was down to the very last of my toilet paper. While it was close to everything, which is great, the noise in downtown doesn't let one sleep til after 4 a.m., no exaggeration. I will stay in a hotel that offers breakfast and is in a quieter neighborhood. The keyless entry was great, really liked that and I always felt safe, a single female traveler, but Iceland is known for it's very lowcrime rate."

Hotel Reykjavik Centrum

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small and we were facing ground level to the street so anyone passing by could see into our room (not ideal). Sound proofing also isn’t great. Bathrooms are also small and shower stalls leak into the main bathroom, no matter how hard you try. That being said, hotel is centrally located and clean. I didn’t eat at the hotel so I’m not sure what the food is like."

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Quirky deco. Great location. Luggage hold (at least for the same day of check-in/out, maybe more). Wifi good, reaches to rooms. Security is good. My card only opens my floor, and my room."

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Great location Great view"
