Top University of Iceland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Odinsve

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Odinsve was a great place to stay in Reykjavik. The staff was friendly and helpful. Room was a bit small compared to US hotels I've stayed at but that seems to be the norm in European countries. Not a show stopper tho, the room was very clean and comfortable. Location is great for getting around Reykjavik & Tour bus stop was about 3 blocks away which was very convenient. Buffet breakfast was served each morning at Snap's Bistro adjacent to hotel. Great stay, would highly recommend the hotel."

City Center Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was easy to find and only steps away from downtown. No parking but there was a parking lot around the corner. Easy to access. Rooms were clean and comfortable. It was located on a busy street so if you are sensitive to noise it might bother you. The bars are open until 3 am. We kept the windows closed and fell straight to sleep. Didn’t bother us. I would recommend it for the price."
