Top Álftavatn Hotel Reviews

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

8/10 Good

"Clean, comfortable. Only issue was the in-room coffee maker did not work. Staff failed to replace despite multiple requests. On the other hand, a marvelous desk clerk directed us to delicious bakery/cafe within walking distance of hotel."

Aurora Igloo South

8/10 Good

"Loved the concept and the beautiful setup! ✨ The igloo was cozy and unique. A few things could be improved—the door was a little tricky to open, there was only coffee and no water kettle, and the weekend price was more than double, which felt quite expensive. Overall, a beautiful experience, but the value could be better."

Center Hotels Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay! Very central location. Staff were extra helpful."

Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first night in Iceland and it proved to be a wonderful experience. The property was located on a river in a very geothermal area in the Golden Circle. We arrived about 1.5 hrs early, but the front desk lady (very nice blonde/didn’t get her name) was quick to find a room that was ready. After long travels from the US, we greatly appreciated that. The room was spacious and overlooked the river with a small balcony. So scenic! The bathroom shower was very narrow and the bathroom was very dark. Could use some better lighting. Dinner was fantastic and the dining room had glass windows all around. At first we were seated without a view and asked if we could overlook the river. At first she(the blonde lady again) said no because we were only 2 and the one table available was for 4, but within a few moments, she made it happen! Our waitress was efficient but not overly friendly. A couple other employees we encountered the next day were a little gruff, but that did not deter us from having a good time. Breakfast was included but we arrived too late to sit down. We typically just like to “grab and go” but we learned that “to go” coffee isn’t a thing in Iceland. We did not partake of the spa or sauna , but enjoyed the hiking trail right outside the inn in this very unique area. We would not hesitate to come back."
