Borgarbyggð Holidays

The building itself is older which is fine but overall needs a makeover. The walls appeared dirty and the bathroom itself was hard to tell if the grout was just old or moldy. The water in the shower smelled strange and in turn made the building smell strange if multiple showers were taken at once. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable I have ever had. The parking is misleading and on the street. The hot tub was luke warm and didnt not appear clean.

This was the perfect stay for our trip. The location is just a couple of short blocks from the main shopping center and from the waterfront (you can’t beat the location. The included breakfast basket and fresh bread saved us so much money as we were able to make it last for breakfast and lunch. Having the kitchen to store and heat food was super helpful. We rarely lounged in our room. We were on the go most of our trip (driving as far south as Diamond Beach and back in one day!). If you plan to also be out and about then this is a great stay. Black out curtains made sleeping in the summer easy. I wouldn’t pick this location if you were looking for a lounging vacation (it doesn’t have a lot of chill space). Some things to note: Checking in was the hardest part because you need to park (preferably in the P3 parking area) and walk to the main location. Our room was in the Tannery which was a couple of blocks away from the main registration location. Another thing to note is the dryer situation. The dryers don’t work well. We had clothes in there for 3 hours and they remained wet. We ended up hanging them on the heated towel rack or just in the closet area. One time they allowed us to use the service dryers (those worked great). We loved the staff, loved our room, and really loved the breakfast!

Ok

Wonderful hotel, right in the heart of downtown Reykjavik
