Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. the hotel is not downtown, but if you do have a car, it's only a few minutes drive. The spa is very small, but overall nice. A little disappointing that it's closed on Sunday. we've tried the restaurant twice, the food was good, it's overpriced (like everywhere in Iceland). The fish specifically was very fresh and good.

Loved the hotel spa that was the highlight of this stay (remember they are closed Sundays and require an appointment booking for a 1 hour time slot). The rooms had double beds and slept 4 comfortably, the washrooms were clean but a bit dated, I recommend showering downstairs in the hotel spa change rooms - very modern and clean! Parking was across the street and had multiple spots, loved the breakfast option since there isn’t a ton around! Would stay again!

Bara ekki ánægður. Komum á Hótelið til að njóta en því miður eru framkvæmdir í gangi svo nánast stanslaus læti alla helgina og líka sunnudag af iðnaðarmönnum að bora og slipa og byrjað til dæmis um kl.8.30 á laugardagsmorgni og líka sunnudag. Ískápur bilaður en honum skipt fljótt út, ónýt seta á Wc og ekki hægt að hleypa vatni niður úr baðkarinu og nánast ekkert vatn kom úr blöndunartækjum við handlaugina og fl. The Spa var frábært og öll önnur þjónusta ágæt en væri frábært ef það væri kannski einn á hótelinu sem gæti talað íslensku annar en næturvörðurinn. Já væri frábært ef hægt hefði verið að kaupa kaffibolla á hótelinu eftir að morgunmatur er búin nebb bara skilti LOKAÐ en tókum þá bara göngutúr niður á Hilton Hótel gott kaffi þar.

Property says they have air conditioning and they have a vent just no control over the fan or the temperature. The window barely opens so it doesn’t allow you to cool off the room and the room winds up being 85° when you sleep. When you wake up, maybe it cooled down to 70.

Nice property that is somewhat outside the city center, yet in a very convenient location, particularly nice and quiet on the weekend. I felt really welcomed by the check-in staff, but finding the room was a bit tricky as the signage on our floor wasn't really that great and the color scheme is rather dark - room staff helped us figure it out. Which also was the case in the room. The room felt renovated and is quite stylish, larger than many, and very well appointed. I loved the wireless charging from the lights for example. All the essentials are in place, a nice bathroom, a good bed, and a small refrigerator are all things I want in my hotel room. Unfortunately, the wifi wasn't really working properly, but I didn't really need it, so didn't miss it. Breakfast is a really lovely buffet selection. The location is kind of interesting as it's a busy business section of Reykjavik on weekdays, but nice and quiet on the weekends - which means lots of parking is available - not so on the weekdays. Easy access to the bus, a short walk to Laugardalur and everything that offers, and very convenient for Kringlan or Skeifan shopping and many restaurants within a short distance. Would stay again without hesitation.

One of the stiffest most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in, combined with very few pillows (also very thin pillows), made for a really rough night. Room was also very warm, and we couldn’t cool it down much by opening the window. They did give us a fan upon request, but it barely helped.

We enjoyed staying at Hotel Island - the concierges were great! Security was good - pass keys for the elevator, and a safe in the room. Brunch was available and the service and food at restaurant was very good, but wasn’t always open according to their posted hours. The housekeeping was adequate. The hotel is well situated to a pharmacy, grocery story, tech store where we bought local SIM cards, a 24/7 grocery store, Sculpture Museum where we got our City Passes which included free entry to many attractions, including the nearby pool with hot tubs, steam room. It’s a short walk to the bus stop, where you can take a bus into centre centre. And there are many relatively inexpensive (for Iceland) restaurants nearby. Hotel Island was a great choice for us!

The breakfast is excellent (though expensive - standard for Rekjavik) the dinner was quite poor which was disappointing.

Internet was fast, hotel room was chilly, there was no instruction on turning on the lights so I had to ask the front desk who told me I needed to put my hotel room card into the slot for them to work, there were no instructions for the towel warmer, the room service lacked entirely and only had wings when it should have had a full menu like the restaurant downstairs, change the menu for the Hekla restaurant for lunch and dinner so it’s not always the same food, and most importantly, fully cook the bacon because almost every day is was undercooked and most people didn’t eat it
