What guests think

At Hotel Reykjavík Grand, travellers frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff, clean and spacious rooms, and a popular breakfast and restaurant, while noting free parking and easy tour pickups but a not-central location with intermittent construction noise.

Rooms are generally comfortable but recurring comments mention no air conditioning and warm rooms in summer, very soft beds, imperfect blackout curtains, some older rooms with awkward showers, and occasional noise from roads or the atrium. Cleanliness is widely praised, though housekeeping is often by request and a few guests reported bathroom odors or missed refills. Service is often excellent, but several reviews describe unfriendly or inflexible front-desk experiences and long or chaotic check-ins at peak times, with Wi‑Fi patchy in a few rooms. A solid choice for travelers who prioritize comfort and helpful staff over a central address.

I didn't enjoy my stay at this hotel. I chose it because it was a spa hotel. I expected it to be quiet and luxurious. It was neither. The spa was not entirely open because both hot baths were broken. I went down twice, and both times, I was disturbed by drilling.And hotel guests are charged to use the spa. Why? And why charge when you can't offer a full spa experience? I could also hear drilling in my room, and when I complained to reception, they just said they were working on pipes. No apology, no concern. This is appalling. My room was not serviced once whilst I stayed. Fortunately, I can make my own bed, but having fresh towels at least once during a four-day stay would have been nice. The hotel is a long distance from the town, and it is a conference hotel. It isn't suitable for travellers wanting to see Reykjavik. When I checked out they couldn't give me a bill. Honestly, the whole experience was a shambles. Overall, I wasn't impressed and would not stay in this hotel again.

Amazing breakfast buffet! The gym was nice too. Overall, I had a great stay here. The only thing to note about this hotel is that it is about a 20 - 25-minute walk to the city center.... which was fine for me, but may be inconvenient if you want to be in the thick of things.

Hotel Reykjavik Grand was a great value for the price. Upon arriving I was surprised that it was such a fancy hotel given that the price was considerably under the other possibilities. The staff was helpful and friendly. But the best thing for us was the restaurant and bar, Grande Brasserie, whose menu was created by an award winning chef Icelandic chef. It is on the perimeter of the main tourist zone, but even with my limited mobility, we managed to walk and see some of the main attractions of Reykjavik. The spa was being renovated, but the Hilton spa is just a few minutes walk away.

The hotel room when we arrived was not cleaned and had wrappers under the bed. I was staying with my family so had a pull out bed, and there was a lot of dirt under there, it was like it hasn’t been cleaned by anyone. The hotel is around 45 minutes from the airport, but it’s quite hard to walk around the hotel if you visit during the winter months.

The hotel was just okay. Our bathroom smelled like mildew, we arrived to find a light out in the bathroom (fixed the next day), and the person checking us in was not friendly. I think because we booked with Hotels.com instead of directly with the hotel we were given the worst room. If your room is on the first floor plan on carrying your luggage up about 6 or so stairs. Since they do not have air conditioning, the room was hot and stuffy. We will not be staying there again.

The staff was very nice but the restaurant was incredibly expensive and there was a marked difference in the updated design/ “luxury level” of our room and another room in our party - even though we were only three doors away on the same floor. Also it’s very close to a major highway and the room was pretty noisy.

While the hotel itself is fairly good in many ways there were some truly terrible downsides. (1) We arrived early on an international flight and had previously informed the hotel that a check-in prior to 3 pm would be very welcome if possible. They had previously said they would annotate our account and do what they could, though there would be a (reasonable) charge if it was possible. But when we got there the treatment was very rude ("we told you it is 3 pm" and "if you wanted to check in this early you should have booked the previous night" which is very different from a reasonable additional charge quoted earlier, plus too late now). When we came back a few hours later to check on the status it was even ruder and we told not to bother to check back till it was 3 pm. (2) We hung out in the lobby but were never offered any amenities, and only discovered the next day that there is a bar and restaurant elsewhere in the hotel that we could have gone to. (3) When finally in the room--totally exhausted after 36 hours without sleep--we find that outside our window, barely meters away, was a full scale construction project actively, very noisily working, well past any reasonable hour, actually not ending until almost 9 pm and starting up again at 7:30 am. You can imagine how well one can sleep with that going on. Plus one needs to have the window open to get any air circulation or coolness into the room, so the noise is even worse! Rooms facing construction should not be let!

I explained during checking in, the reservation was supposed to be for 3 people per room (2 adults and 1 child). I had 2 rooms. Front desk rep said no problem, gave me a room with two single beds and a sofa bed. This was for both rooms. When we called down to reception for extra pillows, linnen and such, she said she was the only one and we would have to come down and get it ourselves. My wife went down to reception and also explained that she was unable to open the sofa bed. The reception was extremely rude and said housekeeping has left and there is nothing they can do as the sofa beds are locked and only housekeeping has the key to open them. The receptionist then goes only to say, that our original reservation was for 2 people so she has no obligation to help. My wife explained that we cleared this up at check in, which is why we had rooms on two seperate floors, to accomadate for the larger room. But she didnt care to listen and flatly said, there is nothing I can do. Also, my wife noticed there was another person also working at receoption so, she lied when she told us she was the only person working in the hotel. I would never stay in this hotel ever again.

The hotel was a short walk to the seaside and was nice to take a stroll there to try to get away from the city lights.
