- Reykjavik, Ísland
Presided over by the warmly attentive Jon, who stocks the kitchen with coffee, milk and fruit and quietly moves injured guests to easier rooms without being asked, this spotless Reykjavik guesthouse charms with its skylit bedrooms, a studio with its own little outdoor sitting area, and an unbeatable walking-distance position near the harbour, the cathedral, and the city's best restaurants.
- Reykjavik, Ísland
A well-located central Reykjavik apartment house where hosts Hlín and Sigurgeir are praised across multiple stays, including a wedding weekend, for waiting up through the small hours to welcome arriving guests, offering well-stocked kitchenettes, comfortable beds, and the kind of warm, knowledgeable local advice that has families and honeymooners alike quietly vowing to return.
- Reykjavik, Ísland
A friendly owner-run guesthouse of just five rooms, Arahús wins over low-key travellers with its clean, quiet rooms, shared kitchen, and an obliging host who has been known to show guests his sitting room with its lovely view and to accommodate early arrivals with quiet good grace.
- Reykjavik, Iceland
Friendly staff, exceptionally comfortable beds, a well-regarded breakfast, and a quietly cosy bar with a happy hour make this clean, reasonably priced Reykjavik hotel a reliably restful base, handily placed a pleasant twenty-minute walk from the centre.
- Reykjavik, Ísland
Tucked close to Hallgrímskirkja with free street parking on the doorstep, this tidy, well-priced Reykjavik guesthouse wins over budget-conscious travellers with its comfortable beds, immaculately kept shared bathrooms, and the attentive, friendly manner of its owner.
- Reykjavik, Ísland
The hotel earns its modest cosiness through warm, attentive staff (Inez and Katrin singled out), an exceptional breakfast buffet, and clean, comfortable rooms, though cramped bathrooms and a small-scale, somewhat functional character prevent it from feeling truly intimate or characterful.
- Reykjavik, Iceland
Hotel Odinsve offers warm, attentive service with staff like Inez and Katrin earning personal praise, an excellent breakfast, and a quiet central location, though cramped bathrooms and one report of plumbing odours undermine the intimate comfort it otherwise achieves.
- Reykjavik, Iceland
A solid rather than standout base on the quiet edge of Reykjavík, Hotel Ísland draws consistent praise for spacious, comfortable rooms, a well-regarded breakfast buffet, and a spa where therapists such as Monika and Martin deliver notably skilled massages, all supported by a front-desk team, Emily, Angelo, and David among them, whose warmth and helpful recommendations leave a strong impression, though some guests flag inconsistent housekeeping, overheated rooms, and a location that requires a bus ride to reach the city centre.
