Reykjavik hotels in Laugardalur

Pros: Service, breakfast and location.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: clean hotel, very comfortable, great breakfast included. heated bathroom floors and heated towel rack were exceptional

Cons: no shampoo/conditioner in rooms

Pros: The facilities. The breakfast. The bathroom

Cons: Noisey. There's a lot of construction next door. It's 10-15 mins walk from the centre town.

Pros: We loved everything about this hotel. Comfy rooms, breakfast variety, happy hour in the beer garden, great wolffish and chips, friendly and knowledgable staff in the restaurant and front desk, tour booking in reception, proximity to city centre, location of bus stop 12, the added touches of lemon water, coffee and macaroons in reception.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We only stayed one night after our blue lagoon experience. We loved the green level of this hotel. The location was great to walk downtown and visit some of the historic places. The food in the bar was exceptional.

Pros: Breakfast Buffet was excellent, lots of nice areas to sit in in lobby and restaurant. Nice staff.

Pros: Comfortable bed.

Pros: The duvet. Very comfortable. The breakfast is included and very filling, especially to brave the cold of Rekyavik.

Cons: The staff did mess up our tour reservation once and we had to ask management time and again for something to be done about it. The desk in the room had some coffee stains and the shower door does not prevent the water from going all over the bathroom! Plus the hotel was definitely a bit distant from city center.

Pros: They have all the basics. The hotel may be good for large groups/bus loads of people who need a place far from city center to rest for a night.

Cons: Politely rude staff: At 1:45 PM and earlier they say "Checkin is at 2 PM". Service Industry speak for Piss Off. 1:58 PM, "Your room is not ready". 2:02 PM, "We don't know if it is ready" (communication problems with housekeeping?) They sometimes seemed annoyed answering questions people had about how to go somewhere in the city or which day excursions are available. "Here's a brochure." is their typical answer. They never tell you the actual details of where to go or what to expect. Rooms were very basic. Tiny pillows on bed. Two cotton comforters on double bed, each was the size of a large towel. Breakfast and Dinner are very over priced.

Pros: Nice parking lot

Cons: Room was very warn, sheets did not fit the bed and furniture was dirty. Staff was not friendly. The hotel was not inexpensive and was probably the second worst I have ever stayed in. I would NOT recommend staying at this hotel.

Pros: Easy access, lots of parking, modern building and rooms Great to see Monaco and Cyprus Olympic teams there too,

Pros: They were very Eco-friendly and "green." Pretty clean and modern.

Cons: The staff was not very accommodating at all. I reserved a superior room with a double bed, and they gave us 2 twin beds. After speaking with the front desk, all they could tell us was that they are fully booked, and that you're never guaranteed the type of bed you want, but we could push the 2 twin beds together if we'd like. No, thank you. We were only staying there for one night, so we decided not to push the issue. Checkout is at noon, but after reading the hotel info they provide you with in the room, I saw they offer late checkout at 2pm as an option. So, that evening I called the desk to request late checkout, and the woman I spoke with could not give me a yes or no. She said I have to speak with the day staff. I called at 8am the following morning and the woman informed me again that they are fully booked. Ok, but I'm just asking to check out at 2pm. Check in for any new guests is at 4pm. That still gives cleaning crew 2 hours to get the room ready for any new guests arriving. I even tried to compromise and say can we at least stay until 1pm? We were catching the shuttle to the airport at 2pm from the hotel, and didn't have anywhere to go for 2 hours if we checked out at noon. She told me they could hold our luggage and we could go downtown and shop. No, I'm not risking missing the airport shuttle because you told me to go to town and spend $$. So after me asking the same question in 4 different ways, she finally said ok, you can check out at 1pm. Well wow! Thanks a million, Grand Hotel. We won't be staying with you on our next trip to Iceland.

Pros: Everything about this stay was fantastic. The rooms were massive by European standards and so were the beds. They were heated nicely and had heated towel racks, lighting and tech was great. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was pretty good.

Cons: The only downside is you aren't right downtown but it's tough to say really what downtown actually is. It's such a big sprawl of a city so it's in Reykjavik but just not the heart I guess, they have a shuttle to make up for this.

Pros: Excellent bathroom Good size room Good free wifi signal

Cons: Bed was rather uncomfortable Lack of TV channels Interactive TV features simply don't work

Pros: The hotel was very clean, staff were helpful, our room had a beautiful view of the city and the water, and the room itself was nice. The double bed fit two large adults easily, which was a concern when we were booking. The bathroom also included a tub in addition to the shower. The lobby area was nice with large doors to see out when waiting for tour guides or cabs, and was filled with pamphlets of various activities. Hair dryer/iron & board/mini fridge and laundry service pick up available.

Cons: The location was a bit further from the city than anticipated, it's listed as a medium walking distance, it is walkable, just not desirable on cold/rainy nights, approximately 20kr cab ride. The dinner buffet was fairly expensive and we didn't really care for it, we preferred the restaurants around the corner or in town and the cost was similar or less, potentially regular ordering tasted better than the buffet. No shampoo/conditioner/lotion, I always bring my own, but wanted to note.

Pros: Luxury hotel

Cons: Location was a bit away from the city centre. Taxi cabs are very expensive.

Pros: This place was clean, at the bus stop and had a great community feel. The communal kitchen was great (minus the lack of freezer - what are you supposed to do with ice cream?) along with the access to a locker room and laundry. Great access to town and a helpful, friendly staff that remembers you.

Cons: It was IMPOSSIBLE to sleep both nights, especially when we moved to the first floor - it was only until midnight - 6am that the sound of multiple doors slamming subsided. The sound wasn't subtle - it literally sounded like the doors were slamming nonstop for hours. There has to be some way to change the closing mechanisms!! I had earplugs in and still could hear every single open and close. We slept horribly as a result. Also, the showers were the only ones in all of Iceland that were not hot - lukewarm at best. That was definitely a disappointment.
