Reykjavik hotels in Laugardalur

Pros: Very nice and kindly. Delicious Breakfast.

Pros: Breakfast exceptional, room large and amenities exquisite. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Pros: The hotel was well located in city center. The staff was very helpful with luggage and their property is very clean and nice. It was very quiet. The strict 4 pm check in was a problem as we arrived about 11 am in the center city. The airport is about 1 hour away by Flybus and leaving your luggage at the central bus station would mean another trip to the central bus station to retrieve it. The breakfast is the same each day and is a cold platter. Very nicely done with excellent coffee and tea. Very nicely served and the staff was quite helpful in every way.

Pros: A converted townhouse, this place is great! My room was spacious and clean. The two men running the hotel were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was amazing and filling. One quirk is they have you leave your room key with them when you leave for the day or for dinner. I assume this prevents you from losing it. You have to ring the bell and they come and open the front door for you. I’d stay here again.

Cons: Very little. There is no on-site parking, but there are plenty of spots within 200m of the front door. You don’t pay for parking 1800 - 0900 on weekdays. It is a little bit of a walk to get “downtown.” I had no problem with this, but others might.

Pros: Positive: breakfast good - cleaning of room OK

Cons: Phoenix lacks other facilities besides the room - eg no reception area or bar - door to hotel was always closed which is unusual for a HOTELs - normally you get a key so you can open the (if the door is closed) door when you arrive late. Charging 5 € / day for wifi - year 2018..... ,

Pros: I stayed at the Hotel Phoenix for 6 nights, which is a wonderful hotel. Even though it is a small hotel, there is always somebody on the reception for 24 hours, which made me as a single female traveler feel very safe. The two gentlemen that work there also took my luggage up to the room, and at check out back down swiftly, you don't even have to ask for help, it was natural for them to carry my luggage. They are also very happy to help with information. For me it was important to see the Northern lights, and they would check constantly for me the weather updates (whether if was going to be cloudy or clear sky, which is important to have in order to see them, also what the activity was (scale from 0 - 10). At breakfast they are very accommodating, making sure that you have enough coffee or tea, always. This is not a buffet where you help yourself, they serve a breakfast plate to you, and they add a couple of slices of ham, but when I mentioned that I don't eat meat, they would not forget about that and added extra cheese instead for the rest of my stay. I felt cared for, also because they would remember those kind of details. The room was really spacious, clean and the mattress was just perfect, not too soft as you usually find in other hotels. It is the second time, that I slept in a strange bed and it felt as comfy as my own bed at home! (first time in Thailand), and I have stayed in many many hotels. Even the toilet paper in the room is high quality! This hotel does not provide lunch/dinner nor room service, but this was not a problem for me at all as there are many different kind of restaurants close by, within walking distance you can explore. Without hesitation, I would stay in that hotel again for my next trip to Iceland!

Pros: Service, breakfast and location.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: What a charming boutique hotel right in central Reyjkjavik! Excellent service- the staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Beautiful furnishings, very clean room and surroundings, excellent breakfast. You can never ask for more. There is a calm to this small beautifully-run hotel—a great way to unwind after enjoying the city. Will definitely stay here next time im in Reykjavik!

Pros: The price.

Cons: Bed too small,room too small.

Pros: Location is excellent, friendly staff, very clean... good breakfast buffet

Pros: The bar was very nice, very comfortable.

Cons: £44 for a glorified buffet, waste of money. I am glad I didn’t waste my money on paying extra for breakfast. Much nicer places outside the hotel.

Pros: Location, clean, comfortable

Cons: No

Pros: Friendly staff at breakfast buffet and very good breakfast. Room size was good. Probably a good hotel for business people.

Cons: We booked this hotel mainly because of it's restaurant which should have allowed us to eat dinner with our 20-month-old daughter without having to leave the hotel. But mid-november the only dining option in the hotel's "Haust Restaurant" was a Christmas-buffet for 9.900 ISK (73€ !) per person, without drinks. On the only day where there was "normal buffet" it still cost 7.900 ISK although if it was advertised everywhere at 6.900 ISK. The other option, the beergarden was not adapted for little children and only offers junk food (hamburgers, fish&chips etc.) at the price for decent food. Room service offers the same food as well, but they add 1.500 ISK as a room service fee. We also ordered a bottle of house wine advertised for 5.500 ISK which was finally charged at 7.400 ISK. We got the feeling that everything was overcharged and they tried to take every penny possible of their customers. Beds were a bit uncomfortable, and during 4 nights our bed sheets were not changed and the Kleenex box not filled up. Location at the border of the city center (we saw many hotels with better locations), but still expensive parking on the roads around the hotel. We would not choose this hotel again.

Pros: Very clean and gave us early check in

Cons: Quite far but that’s why it’s cheaper

Pros: Location right in downtown easy walking to shops and sights. We rented a car parked right in front of hotel, plus great starting point for Golden Circle and Southern Coast drives.

Cons: Hotel food prices, but not when you consider dinningout in Reykjavik is extremely expensive they weren't that badge

Pros: They had a decent gym which you could use anytime. Breakfast was ok

Cons: Firstly before reviewing the room (which if you are thinking about the Tower suite upgrade you might want to take a look at) I want to comment on the customer service. (also note that I gave the Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon top ratings so no bias here) Worst customer service I've experienced in all my travels. Little background, I'm 35 years old and traveled all around the world. In Iceland for my honeymoon and it was my last few nights of the trip. Had to alter my booking as there was a change due to weather and would not be able to make it back in time. Called 2 days earlier only to get a rude response from the hotel staff. (It felt she was trying to make it difficult) There were plenty of rooms available as it was off peak so continued with the booking, even extending duration and opted to upgrade to the Tower suite as our stayed in the FossHotel Glacier Lagoon only days before was exceptional. Got charged 50 euros to make the amendment and did not get a confirmation email in response. When I arrived the same staff member served me and claimed I didn't send the details. When I asked her to check again she said it was there but didn't acknowledge her mistake. A lot of attitude from the staff member and felt like all she cared about was getting as much money off us as possible. Now the room. Upgraded to the tower suite. was excited because our room was a corner suite on the 15th floor (view was great in the hallway windows.) Turned out it wasn't a corner suite just a regular room (which was fine) Things wrong with the room - TV is halfway in the hallway and the bedroom lol. You can still watch it but from a certain angle. - Shower was bad. Tiny with no pressure and didn't feel clean. - The door to the bathroom would not close properly unless you slammed it shut and when it did open it would scrap along the tiles when opened half way. - Automatic curtains didn't work but in truth now I'm just nit picking. Hope this review helped!

Pros: Excellent staff, everyone at the front desk is the BEST! Warm, professional, efficient, Soo Helpful, with great suggestions and assistance for everything from tours, places.to.eat, directions, coordinating tours and helping everything to run on time and smoothly, they go fiar above and beyond! Thank you Barbara, Amelia & Patrice for helping making our stay in Iceland exceptional, again!

Pros: Great location, really friendly and helpful staff would highly recommend this hotel

Pros: The entire hotel was modern and spotless, with some fantastic design. The staff couldn’t have done more to help, even arranged our airport transfers to be even more convenient for the early hour we had to be up. Our view from floor seven was incredible and a delight to wake up to. We am already looking to return to Fosshotel in February with more family!

Pros: Staff was very friendly. Very clean. Great breakfast buffet with everything you could imagine...walking distance from downtown

Cons: Dinner buffet was really expensive so we didn't try that.

Pros: Extremely friendly staff, beautiful lobby, good parking

Cons: No

Pros: Really nice bar and restaurant. Delicious food and generous happy hour!

Cons: A bit further from the centre than we had expected. Although free shuttle downtown was useful. Needed to book in advance though.

Pros: Been upgraded to a junior suite as it was our honeymoon, both my husband and I love this hotel so much. The lobby was well decorated, and the view from our hotel was amazing. It was very near Kringlan and the basement carpark was a saviour when it rained for a night. The staff was friendly and kind. The spa and gym was good as well. Wide variety of international buffet breakfast. The staff was prompt in clearing empty plates.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Guest cannot use the spar free of charge and the room was not ready when we arrived

Pros: Very clean, driving distance to downtown.

Cons: Shower set-up was strange. Did not have my booked room ready at check-in time.

Pros: Cleen and very nice

Cons: Our room whas on 2nd floor and when the buses came to pick up people the fumes where very strong in the room.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Die Putzfrau kommt zweimal in unsere Zimmer, obwohl wir schlafen und waschen. Die Problem hat zu Manager gesagt, er sagt nichts etwas und die Telefon abgelegt! The Trip is terrible becuase this Hotel!!! Waste of my money.

Pros: decent hotel, pretty atrium

Cons: location is not good, cannot walk to downtown taxis are very expensive although there is a shuttle, its actually just regular cabs that you have to book ahead and get full food and bar services during the holiday were poor not enough towels

Pros: The water.

Cons: There is a construction going on and we had the room in front of the construction. Terrible! You cant sleep in the morning. What a shame to sell rooms so expensive.

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 breakfast buffet very spacious and comfortable

Cons: limited taxi shuttle availability location somewhat removed from main activity

Cons: Although bed linen seemed to be clean a little plastic medicine box propped out of the bed when I was going to bed - also I saw some hair which were lying on the matress cover - again the linen was clean and the hair was stuck to the linen. I was to tired to do anything about it - but want to let you know because some people would probably not like this at all. Otherwise staff was really friendly and I liked the stay.

Pros: Amazing location and value for money

Cons: No Towels, No shampoo; shower room smelled bad. Just the bed and shared kitchen.

Pros: Location is very good. Late checkin is very easy. Instructions vwere very clear. I would stay again if I would come again to Iceland 10/10

Pros: Everything

Cons: -

Pros: The way the staff helped me in everything I need to from where to catch buses to even letting me in my room when I left my key in my room,(there where other to personal to say!) these where only miner to which feel big to me! I hope they get to know this!

Cons: VERY special!

Pros: Good quiet location. Bakery, cafe, supermarket and fishmonger close by. Easy walk to the sea and city. Great kitchen space. Comfortable beds.

Cons: Bit impersonal with no official front desk. Cafe staff were busy so not so easy to chat to. No real atmosphere to lounge area.

Pros: Good facilities - kitchen/wc ect.

Cons: No hooks in room to hang stuff. Very little room for bags.

Pros: Really good hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, Got breakfast at 3am before leaving for my flight! Close enough to walk from hotel to Reykjavík centre

Cons: Nothing it was great

Pros: It was incredibly cheap.

Cons: My father referred to the hotel as "hotel coffin". There wasn't enough room in there for two regular sized suitcases. I had to force it into a corner and jump over it to make it to my side of the bed. The sizes of the beds are incredibly small, especially when there are two people sleeping in the bed. We had a room with a little window in it and when we opened it, it opened up into a hallway.... which was very strange. We both woke up multiple times throughout the night because of slamming doors and people walking past the weird hallway window talking. There also were multiple giant groups of kids maybe on school trips or sports trips.

Pros: The comforters were wonderful, so heavy and warm. The mattresses also were very extremely comfortable.

Cons: The room we stayed in didn't have a window and was next to the hallway making it difficult to sleep as people were so loud and slamming doors.

Pros: The staff is really helpful and courteous. They provided information about every tourist place and even made calls to help us coordinate our pick and drops with travel companies. Special thanks to Mr. Imran who knew Hindi language and this just gave us a personal touch to the trip. He is very hard working and always smiling.

Cons: So many people come from different cultures to this hotel. Still the breakfast was not apt for people coming from all regions. It was same menu all 4 days. No options for vegetarians. No options of fruits. It is so cold and providing a electric thermos to heat water to drink or make coffee in the rooms is a basic thing and not a luxury. There should be cattle in all rooms.

Pros: Location was great although kind of far from the city centre, most tour companies pick up direct from the hotel. The people were pretty helpful, check in and check out was very easy. Everyone speaks English, although I still attempted Icelandic and looked like a fool....

Cons: The breakfast, breakfast was very limited in selection and quite boring, I wouldnt mind paying a little more for a better breakfast, other hotels had the most amazing breakfasts ever!

Pros: My friend and I enjoyed the views of the water and the 25 min walk to the harpa along the shore from hotel cabin. It’s amazing for the price. The buffet breakfast was perfect for FREE. The dinner buffet was like $20 USD which is also well worth it !!

Cons: Room could be spacious and price could be lowered but in Iceland nothing is cheap!

Pros: Comfortable bed, very nice/helpful staff, awesome breakfast. Good place if you're just looking for a place to sleep and have a nice breakfast

Cons: Tiny room, the window opens into a hallway which was weird, shower is a bit cramped
