Alda Hotel Reykjavík

It was relatively clean, staff was polite but short, location was great. I was a bit disappointed that the balcony was not private and had a stair leading down to the street, that made me feel slightly unsafe and was not mentioned in the listing. The sheets and duvet cover also had old stains and hair on them, and two out of three times we talked to staff they seemed annoyed that we bothered them, even tho we were quiet and respectful. The room often had a smell like sewer that we couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. One other thing that was kind of annoying was the lack of good blackout curtains, which made a huge difference when the sun only set for about an hour. It seemed like we paid far more than what it was worth. It wasn’t terrible, but also wasn’t great.

Good location, clean room, helpful staff, would recommend.

Great location and helpful staff!

Great location, clean and comfortable room.

Great location. Easy to walk to most shopping and cafes in downtown. The geothermal hot tub was very nice. Although small, it packed a punch of 41c. So 10 min was most i could manage in any session. The hotel offers a grab&go in the morning if your up and out early before the breakfast room opens at 7am. Given the high prices of everything in Iceland, having breakfast included was a major benefit. There is a Starbucks and a barbers attached to the hotel lobby, plus a resturant/ bar. I didn't use these options, but they seemed to be busy. The airport- flybus, will drop you off at stop 9, which is 2 small blocks to walk to the hotel.
