Hotel Von

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Von was an amazing wonderful place to stay for our week in Reykjavik. It was clean, cozy, comfortable, and excellently located. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I am so grateful for how staying there contributed to a beautiful trip. I would definitely recommend staying at Hotel Von, and hope I get a chance to do so again!"

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a lot of unique charm. Much better than the cookie-cutter corporate crap, the vibe is hip & comfy, and I appreciated all the common areas. As expected, the private rooms are much nicer than the dorms, which are cramped and not the most comfy. Location is excellent - and the bar downstairs is a nice touch."

Hotel Reykjavik Saga

10/10 Excellent

"We were very satisfied with our recent five-day stay at Hotel Reykjavik Saga. It’s a fantastic hotel conveniently located in the heart of Reykjavik. It’s within walking distance of great restaurants, museums, parks, stores, and the harbor. We found it charming that we could hear the bells from a nearby cathedral pealing at the top of every hour. Our stay was wonderful. At check-in, Matteo of the Reception staff greeted us warmly. Upon learning that we were there for our 25th wedding anniversary, Matteo assigned us a nice room on the fifth floor with a beautiful view of Reykjavik and easy access to the sun deck. He also arranged to have our room decorated with two love birds made out of bath towels. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, featuring a variety of hot and cold dishes and quite a few delicious Icelandic specialties. The breakfast staff was cheerful, courteous, and helpful. We enjoyed using the dry sauna, cold bath tub, and shower area. Unfortunately, the steam sauna was out of order. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Saga. We highly recommend this hotel to all travelers planning a trip to the beautiful city of Reykjavik."
