Hotels in Reykjavík - in der Nähe von: Listasafn Einars Jónssonar

Positiv:: The rooms were clean, but small, comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful. The staff was outstanding. This was near the main shopping district

Negativ:: It smelled like someone had thrown up in the hallway. I believe the cleaning staff tried to clean it up as best they could but the smell lingered.

Positiv:: We arrived early and were afforded all the courtesy of breakfast and coffee. We got into a room by 10:30. Room was efficient, clean and well cared for. Staff was excellent throughout the stay.

Positiv:: Die meisten kooperativ und freundliches Personal. Auch die Lage ist super.

Negativ:: Die Zimmer waren ein wenig klein.

Positiv:: Die Lage war gut.

Negativ:: Das Parken war aufgelistet, aber es war ein öffentlicher Parkplatz. Wir mussten herumfahren und haben das Auto ein paar Blocks entfernt geparkt.

Positiv:: Super Personal. Sehr sauber. Sehr zentral gelegen. Praktisch Bar und Restaurant.

Negativ:: Langsames WiFi.

Positiv:: In der Nähe des alten Teile der Stadt. In der Tat, das Hotel ist gebaut über Museum für erste Siedlung.

Positiv:: Lage in der Stadt.

Negativ:: Lächerlich Preis für das Zimmer, dass keine Annehmlichkeiten. fünf Sterne Preis bezahlt für zwei Sterne Motel. Das Zimmer war klein, das Bett unbequem. Alles extra.

Positiv:: The hotel is centrally located in Reykjavik and next door to some excellent restaurants. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.

Positiv:: Excellent location within walking distance to busy city center Great value for the money Friendly staff Prompt service from staff & housekeeping Nice little restaurant in the lobby

Negativ:: For some reason the TV was messed up most of the time (would get frozen on certain channels and would have to get up and turn it off). However, was not in the room much, so this was not a big issue.

Positiv:: The location was very nice and central.

Negativ:: The hotel staff were rude and not helpful. One night there was so much noise from people talking and partying until 3:00 am. Could not sleep. The buses no linger pick you up at the hotel. It the walk to the bus stop is less than five minutes. It was still inconvenient with all our luggage. We did not know that when booking.

Positiv:: The breakfast was amazing. The best we had in Iceland! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and the rooms exquisitely clean!

Negativ:: It got a bit hot in the room at night, but it was a minor issue.

Positiv:: It was clean, desk staff were pleasant

Negativ:: The hotel had messed up the reservations. My reservation through Kayak was fine. However, a hotel block that was to be released 45 days before my arrival was still on the books (I was joining a hiking group) and they tried to get me to pay for that supposed reservation. In talking with the agency that had arranged the room block for this particular hiking group, this is not the first time that this hotel has done this. In addition, a friend of mine who had confirmed her reservation at Hotel Centrum before leaving the US, received an e-mail that they were overbooked and she had to go to another hotel---even though Hotel Centrum had double bookings and indeed did have rooms.

Positiv:: Location! You can not beat the location of the Centrum. Also the front desk staff is awesome. They can book all of your excursions for you and if you would like dinner reservations, they can suggest where and then make the reservations for you. The hotel bar happy hour was excellent if you like beer and craft cocktails.

Negativ:: The room size was a little small and there was no place for a second piece of large luggage. Also, even with the radiator in the off position, the room was extremely hot. We were forced to sleep with the windows open. The amount of noise coming from the street from cars and people at all hours of the night caused us not to get a good nights sleep in the 8 days that we were there. I wish I would have brought ear plugs.

Positiv:: Tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht, die Executive Lounge war 1. Klasse.

Positiv:: I enjoyed the high end quality from top to bottom of the hotel! It was immaculate, stylish and staff was helpful and enjoyable.

Negativ:: I would have preferred to have been closer to downtown so I could walk to the downtown area. However, that would mean having a big hotel in the middle of a great little town. I understand that they are building something closer to town that fits in to the surroundings, so I'll have to try that when it opens.

Positiv:: The staff was very helpful and friendly, the restaurant was excellent. You can book tours from the operator in the lobby. Great views from our top floor room. We definitely recommend that you stay here and enjoy the beautiful country.

Negativ:: Location is just a wee bit far away but buses or a short walk will get you downtown and closer to more dining choices

Positiv:: moderner Charakter und kreativ

Negativ:: Bar war super und sehr süßes und malerisches Hotel im Hafen. Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Aber nichts ist billig in Island! Hat uns trotzdem sehr gut gefallen!

Positiv:: Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit

Negativ:: Kleinere Zimmer auf eine befahrene Straße

Positiv:: Bar war gut Frühstück Lage

Negativ:: Straße draußen laut werden kann

Positiv:: Great location on the harbor; within walking distance of the main Reykjavik attractions; very cool vibe for both adults and children; excellent service.

Positiv:: But why would you want to spend a lot of time in your room when your on vacation? The staff was friendly and helpful and the facilities -- breakfast area, bar, lobby, deli, cinema, etc. -- were comfortable and clean. From our room we had a fascinating view of a 178-foot fishing trawler undergoing refurbishment, perfectly apt for the marina setting. Easy to walk everywhere with great restaurants nearby. We'd stay again!

Positiv:: Old marina location and near to old town. Nicely quirky in terms of design and decor. An enjoyable experience which I would choose again.

Negativ:: Not keen on the glass walled bathroom facility, which takes sharing a step too far for us.

Positiv:: lockere Atmosphäre

Negativ:: Es gab nichts, was mir nicht gefallen

Positiv:: Freundliches Personal, gute Lage, saubere Schlafsäle, schöne Umkleideräume für Koffer.

Negativ:: Keine Badezimmer für beide Geschlechter auf beiden Seiten der Etage. Raumaufteilung der Schlafsäle nicht großartig. Schlechtes Internet

Positiv:: Die Lage

Negativ:: Überteuert. Überbewertet. Man zahlt an die 150 Euro pro Nacht (ohne Frühstück) und findet sich de facto in einer Jugendherberge wieder. Ich gehe davon aus, dass das Hotel Zimmer auch günstig verscherbelt. Wer dann voll zahlt, ist wohl der Verlierer.

Positiv:: Classy breakfast buffet, wide spaces in the dorm rooms, not too cramped, evening shift front desk worker "Gary the Great" is a not a cool friendly dude, but extremely helpful.

Positiv:: - 4-Bett-Zimmer hatte ich erfreulicherweise zur Einzelnuttung - dicke Matratzen, saubere, ordentliche Bettwäsche, gute Beleuchtung an den Betten und ausreichend Steckdosen - einladende Lobby

Positiv:: Staff was very responsive to our request to change rooms. Rooms had a nice (small) outside sun deck.

Negativ:: It's a little far from the tourist area (shops and restaurants) but that might be an advantage as we got more exercise.

Positiv:: This review is about the two floors of the hotel which are a hostel, not a hotel. They lend you a tiny (nearly a joke, I guess) lock to put on the small cubby boxes in the room. 1000ISK deposit. The kitchen contains dishwashers.

Negativ:: I stayed in a room with 12 or 14 beds. The doors on these rooms are "underdamped", meaning they are designed or adjusted to slam very very loudly if you let them close by themselves. It shakes not just the room, but is even obnoxious during the day if you're in a common kitchen or lounge down/across the hall. The door in my room was slammed AT ALL HOURS of the day except 12h30 -- 03h00 a.m. by the absurdly inconsiderate guests. The problem is that there is no effort by the hostel to tell people how to behave, and for some reason a large cross-section of the sample of young travellers in my room seem entirely oblivious to the surely-obvious effects of their actions on other people. There were no quiet hours announced. No one was told to close doors quietly. I was dumbfounded how people stayed up shouting, drinking, etc inside the dorm room (there are couches) until midnight, even when others were obviously trying to sleep, and the same people when they were on a different schedule, were up at 03h a.m. sharp talking loudly, and slamming the door countless times again. I mentioned to the staff that there was an educational solution (maybe) to this problem, but they didn't seem very interested. In addition to all that, the rooms, which look nothing nice as clean as in the pictures online (of course), have little cubby boxes below the beds where you supposedly can lock your valuables. The locking tabs are a bit of a joke, maybe, but in my room several were actually broken off anyway, so there was no way to lock them. This was my worst hostel experience ever.

Positiv:: Just the cutestest hostel ever. Very trendy, clean and comfortable. Spacious rooms, clean bathrooms and showers. Guests were very respectful. Had no trouble sleeping in the evenings. Great bar and sitting area in the reception area to drink and meet other travelers. Food was delicious at the restaurant. Excellent location, located on the main road, central in downtown. Most tours pick up just outside their door steps, as well as local bus stops. Although, it's easy to walk everywhere from there. Absolutely, love it and hope to stay there again one day.

Negativ:: No negatives.

Positiv:: Decent price and location

Negativ:: Much dirtier in person Kitchen appliances don't work (stoves, ovens, microwaves) so use and need of kitchen is pointless People staying there do not clean their dishes, and cleaning crew doesn't do them either, so there's always a sink full of dirty dishes and no utensils. Advertises soap and shampoo provided yet they give 1 tiny bottle of shampoo that people end up stealing so no soap or shampoo Same with the soap in the bathrooms. No soap. Checked out a day early (almost 30 hours early) yet told that no refund would be given because not given 24 hours notice (?)

Positiv:: Luxus Hotel

Negativ:: Die Lage war etwas weit entfernt vom Stadtzentrum. Taxis sind sehr teuer.

Positiv:: Das Bett war komfortabel.

Positiv:: Leicht zu erreichen, es gibt viele Parkplätze, modernes Gebäude und Zimmer Toll die Monaco und Zypern Olympischen Teams zu sehen

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

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

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Nice parking lot

Negativ:: 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.

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

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Excellent bathroom Good size room Good free wifi signal

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

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.
