Reykjavik hotels near Ljosmyndasafn

Pros: Everything about this hotel is fabulous! From the location to the decor everything is thoughtful and inviting. It was such a great surprise to us the breakfast was served each day, it was made so well and I even got ideas for how I want to make breakfast at home!

Cons: Nothing! We had such a great experience. Thank you!!

Pros: They upgraded my room to a suite... was so happy about this

Cons: No room service

Pros: The hotel decor in this hotel is really well designed. The lobby, the lounge, the restaurant & the rooms were all super cool. We loved it! We stayed in a really great room. It had a living room with a pullout that our 2 year old slept on & a great big king in the bedroom. The bathroom had a really cool clawfoot tub & big shower. I loved the decor in our room! Blackout curtains were great as we were jet lagged & the sun doesn't go down in the Summer iceland. Breakfast was yummy & the coffee was excellent. Everything is VERY expensive in Iceland but this hotel was pricey even for Iceland. Luckily we had a free night from hotels.com do we only had to pay the taxes. I'm very impressed with Canopy by Hilton though & hope to stay in another one of their hotels.

Cons: It was a bit noisy as our room was right on the busy road side of the hotel.

Pros: It is a lovely hotel in a great position. it is modern yet cosy and has a very relaxed atmosphere!

Pros: Everything. The atmosphere was very cosy and the location was perfect! I loved the hotels attention to detail. They offer records and a record player to borrow and use in your room, thought that was a nice touch.

Cons: Nothing it was perfect

Pros: the staff are super friendly and helpful. they prepared our breakfast for us to take away when found our flight too early.

Cons: 1.8km distance to bus terminal, a little bit far but very close to the bar and night life. we took taxi first day to terminal and spent abt 13Euros and next day we walked.

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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.

Cons: limited parking space.

Pros: The location of the hotel is perfect staff very helpful and friendly and they tried they best to make our stay special as it was our 5 year anniversary , breakfast was superb too :)

Cons: Lack of swimming pool , and the bed mattress could of been more comfortable

Cons: No vegan breakfast option. No free parking.

Pros: The staff at the front desk it's simply amazing.

Cons: All is OK except the restaurant. I asked for a "Nachos plate" and I got some cold chips in a cold plate with some cold sauces. So I asked to warm it up because it was not possible to eat it. So I received a burned mess and I had to paid a fortune for that!

Pros: Comfortable room, great service from reception especially Pedro

Cons: More variation for breakfast

Pros: Stayed for 4 nights mid November. Very good hotel within easy walking distance to attractions, shops etc. Are room was road side but road noise was minimal and the room was clean and well equiped with tea and coffee facilities, mini bar, free to use safe, hairdryer, Tv with English channels, very comfy bed, good shower only negative is the door to the bathroom is frosted glass so not very private. Good buffet breakfast with hot and cold choices.The ensite restaurant is competitively priced with nice food and with my husband being gluten free they were able to alter the menu to accomodate him. Excursion buses pick up outside entrance at stop No13. The hotel has a spa which is an extra charge of £25 per person per stay which we never took up so didn't use. Parking is available outside there is a Pay meter. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons: Glass door on bathroom.

Pros: Great location at one end of the main shopping and restarant precinct was also a very quiet location. Very friendly and helpful staff especially Pedro who assisted us on numerous occasions (his boss should give him the rest of the day off). Large spacious room with modern funky decor . Lovely hot shower with excellant water pressure. Hot and cold buffett breakfast in the morning. Added bonus was one of the bus stops for the fly bus service from the airport so dropped off and picked up at the front door. Would definately stay again.

Cons: Unfortunately we did not have enough time to utilize the spa facilities. Maybe next time.

Pros: The spa was great, excellent location, breakfast was good. Pedro, one of the staff members, was super friendly and very helpful

Cons: The rooms were quite small

Pros: The price.

Cons: Bed too small,room too small.

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

Pros: All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the location was excellent next to bus stop 12 for the Skybus and excursion pick ups.

Cons: Can’t find fault.

Pros: Location was excellent, staff were very friendly and birthday cake was tremendous, thanks guys

Pros: Location, clean, comfortable

Cons: No

Pros: excellent hotel for the comfort and price.

Pros: The hotel is quite big, clean, staff is very polite & friendly. The WiFi was excellent, the location was great, as it was in walking distance to the main strip. Overall we had a lovely pleasant stay.

Pros: Service was great, had a room with low water pressure and got an upgrade immediately.

Cons: The beds weren't comfortable

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: 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: 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: Location was great. Did not eat breakfast. Got to Iceland early in the morning and our room was ready and we were allowed to go in early. That meant so much since we had not slept much the night before.

Cons: Construction outside window, but not your fault and will be over soon.

Cons: It was fairly basic for a 4 star and pretty noisy. You can really hear the other rooms and the water stank of sulphur. Really unpleasant to shower etc

Pros: Location is great. Only downside is the construction going across the street

Cons: Shower curtains .. and very poor choice of tv channels

Pros: Staff are excellent. Love the restaurant next door.

Cons: Smell of the hot water.

Pros: Everything

Pros: Location is great, nice restaurant downstairs, would have liked the fireplace to be active to make the lobby much cozier.

Cons: Construction of the road ongoing next door was quite noisy when I was trying to get some work done, I could not keep the windows open for fresh air.

Pros: Amazing staff and perfect location!

Cons: Room was a bit on the small side.

Pros: Attractive Scandinavian decor, perfect location, cheerful and knowledgeable 24 hour staff.

Pros: The staff made a special effort to have our room ready early as we arrived at the hotel by 8:45am and very tired. Our room had french doors to the outside which allowed a lot of fresh air inside. And, the restaurant, Snaps, located on the hotel's property is great: lively atmosphere with wonderful food. Breakfast is served in the restaurant but with hotel staff (I believe).

Cons: The hotel interior is a bit run down since our last visit in 2012, carpeting should be replaced for one thing. Our room was clean and still looked fresh and modern. Nothing seriously wrong but money could be spent to spruce the hotel up.

Pros: Great location with lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Short walk to the harbour area and the Hallsgrimskjirka. Off the main road so relatively quiet too

Cons: Building work going on outside but obviously it’s only temporary

Pros: The location was ideal, the room was excellent, tidy, relaxed, comfortable and clean. The staff are very friendly from the moment you walk in the door, everything about the stay was great and would happily go back again.

Cons: The initial cost doesn't include breakfast,

Pros: Perfect location, great duvet cover & bed

Cons: No mirror in bedroom

Pros: Very nice hotel, staff very friendly

Cons: Lots of building work around hotel, if you want to walk to the town or bus station you have to walk in through a building site as paths are non existent. The paths outside hotel are very dangerous when icy. no shuttle bus to bus station (even though there are no paths)

Pros: Very clean and great facilities

Cons: Rooms were a little small for the money

Pros: The room and facilities were modern n breakfast spread was good. Plenty of car park space. As we have a rental car, the location was convenient to various tourist sites

Pros: Great facilities in hotel and good breakfast

Cons: Location was a out of town

Pros: Really clean and comfortable. The brunch buffet was delicious and all staff were very nice and helpful

Cons: It was discribed as having a pool which was not accurate because you had to pay extra for that tried to stay one night and cancel the other nights were told couldn't do it with out paying full price, won't book through kayak again

Pros: Located directly next to domestic airport in Reykjavik - very convenient since I flew in/out of airport - walked to airport - no need to take expensive taxi - clean room - friendly staff

Pros: Crisp, clean rooms. Sharp lines very modern look inside

Cons: Breakfast is a barely mediocre buffet for 3000isk (about $30) a person

Pros: Spa was fantastic, breakfast was great but this was expected due to the price you pay.

Cons: Having a double bed which have two beds pushed together was uncomfortable and as a couple we like to be close when we sleep. On this occasion having two single duvets just made this uncomfortable. On check in they told us they were overbooked and that we should chose another of their hotels. The member of staff was rude and talking in Icelandic to other members of staff which made us uncomfortable. We ended up with a room upgrade because of the situation however this is not what we needed after a long day travelling.

Pros: Privacy and friendly staff at the reception. Good people standing behind the desk.

Pros: Nice rooms, welcoming staff at reception, very clean and comfy. Not walking distance to downtown Reykajvik, but still a very pleasant hotel. If you are going to leisure I would make sure you have a rental car.

Cons: The restaurant wasn't that great, (underdone chicken), waitstaff wasn't friendly, especially if your breakfast wasn't part of the package. The spa staff gave contradictory information to reception staff, so better communication would've been helpful .

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful with information on getting around Reykjavik. The food was excellent. Loved the Folk art and displays in the lobby. It was a very nice stay for my first visit to Iceland.

Cons: The only thing that didn't work was th TV in our room. When the staff couldn't seem to fix it we were given vouchers for a beverage of our choice from the bar. It worked out just fine, instead of sitting in our room we went out and about the city and had a great time, better than TV any day!
