The hotel and staff were amazing however, there was considerable construction in the area that had been going on that should have been updated in the information when rooms were booked or as reservations were getting closer. Parking was affected several times. The back door was locked preventing access to the hotel but we often had to park in the back and then walk to the front in wet, cold weather. Just a heads up would have helped or front and back access.

Great little hotel
This hotel was a great base for all the activities on offer in Reykjavik. The room was clean, well furnished and comfortable. I like a quiet room which is exactly what I got. The free coffee was a bonus when coming in from the cold. I would definitely stay here again!

This was a beautiful boutique hotel that was in walking distance to city center with lots of pub and restaurant options. We easily found parking out front. The rooms were small but clean. The beds were comfortable and our view of the ocean and mountains were spectacular. The staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely place to stay with good food and service
Lovely hotel with excellent service - staff were friendly and helpful. We were later arriving than anticipated due to an accident blocking a road from the airport so we decided to eat in. The menu isn’t extensive but the food was very good and the breakfast buffet choices were excellent with several home made baked items - photos only show a very small part of the buffet which included scrambled eggs, baked beans, bacon and sausage as well as cereals, breads, meats, cheeses, fruit, yoghurt etc. The room was quite small (as you’d expect in a city centre) but clean and comfortable with very good toiletries. The only improvements would be to have a shelf to put your own toiletries, a bin for recycling and to improve the lighting in the room as it was quite dark, especially near the desk - however we found the lighting in every hotel we stayed in to be very subdued so perhaps it’s a light pollution thing? Added bonus was that we were able to park right outside the front door! I think that’s a first for a city centre hotel!

We loved our stay at the Eyja Guldsmeden hotel. Such a cosy hotel. The room was spotlessly clean lovely decor and the bed was so comfy. The staff were very friendly breakfast was tasty and we had an evening meal that was very nice too. We also had the most amazing view from our room . Everything was a sort walk away and we were easily collected and dropped off by the airport bus and for day trips. I would definitely become this hotel.

The rooms feel small when you 1st check in but after a couple of days you realise they're big enough. The hotel had some building works local to it but these were never noticeable noise wise. Its a short walk to the nearest bus station or a 30 minute walk gets you pretty much anywhere you want in reykjavik.

- This is a hotel for you if you want an above 3-star hotel in a hip yet retro atmosphere. - Staffs are all very nice, friendly, and helpful! - It is a bit far from the central bus terminal, but this is one of the many pickup locations of all shuttle buses, tour buses, etc. All tour guys know this place, so you won't be staying in the middle of nowhere. - Room prices are reasonable, and all hygiene products are environmental friendly and sustainable. - The breakfast in my onion is a bit overpriced, but I don't know about the living cost there, so I cannot opine much about it. They have all the essential and great food in the breakfast buffet.

Solo 2 night stay
Fine for what it is. Location is great. Bed was hard and you could hear everything through the walls and ceilings. Every morning, the cleaning staff vacuuming the hallways and banging the vacuum into my door. Didn’t sleep well. Nicely decorated. Also seems that they don’t have people who take their meals to their rooms? I wasn’t given any takeaway containers, instead a giant try with heavy full size plates and cutlery. Very strange
