Top Árbær Open Air Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

8/10 Good

"Needed an umbrella in the inclement weather but hotel would not supply."

Arctic Comfort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay……………………….."

ODDSSON Midtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent breakfast!"

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

8/10 Good

"This hotel was decent enough and did everything I needed - clean, quiet and a basic breakfast included. While it worked fine with the access codes etc, the absence of any staff at all on site was slightly odd and made the whole experience feel a little impersonal. I value having someone to speak to in person if I have questions or need anything."

Reykjavik Domes

10/10 Excellent

"So cozy and warm. The fireplace and hot tub made our stay so relaxing. It is glamping to a tee. I will say I would opt for the slightly bigger and more expensive dome next time since it has an actual door and not a zipper to enter. Other than that, we loved our stay!"

ASKA Heiðmörk

10/10 Excellent

"It was great, very clean and the bathrooms were very nice, they also had a seperate place to eat and everything was well kept. Really great stay, even if just for one night!"

Blue Mountain Apartments by Heimaleiga

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was small but very cozy, clean, and comfortable. It was easy to get in and out, and everything was simple and convenient. A great little place to stay while exploring Iceland. We would definitely stay here again!"

Urban Reykjavik Studios by Heimaleiga

10/10 Excellent

"It was compact but very nice. It’s keyless and all on your phone. We enjoyed our stay!"

Hotel Kriunes - A city hotel by the lake

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and nice views. Breakfast was very good and staff were helpful and polite. Road into the hotel is a bit rough."
