Top Vesturbær Hotel Reviews

Hotel Von

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff. Hotel located in busy shopping area and landmarks."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel/apartment was in a great location, the one bedroom unit worked perfectly for our family of 4. The couch bed was very comfortable, more comfortable than queen bed in the bedroom. The bathroom was clean and comfortable. The location cannot be beat. We walked everywhere on the days we stayed in Reyk. Parking was fine if you know where to go and how to pay each day. Only suggestion is to add a small cart or somewhere to put toiletries in the bathroom as there was no countertop or vanity. of course, everything in Iceland is extremely expensive, but we knew that going in. Great stay, would stay again."

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at the Exeter Hotel in Reykjavik, comfortable bed, great breakfast, fabulous shower, good location. The staff were helpful when we asked to store luggage in a friends room until ours was available, plus they have a secure area to store luggage if you arrive early in the day as we did. I would definitely stay there again."

The Reykjavik EDITION

8/10 Good

"The Edition is a stylish hotel with a great design and atmosphere. However, don’t expect full 5-star service. There is no daily turn-down service, and housekeeping won’t make the beds or provide fresh towels unless you specifically request it. We had to call or flag staff each time, which was disappointing at this price point and brand level. Overall, it’s a nice stay if you’re okay being proactive about basics, but it falls short of the seamless luxury experience the name suggests."

Day Dream Vesturgata 17

8/10 Good

"The room was good. It was clean and I loved the location of the room, which was walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and downtown areas. The WiFi was terrible, however, especially for someone who relies heavily on it to communicate. The television barely worked due to the WiFi being spotty. Also, just to inform future travelers, Iceland restrooms tend to emit sulfuric aromas due to the underground volcanic activity. My room was heavy on the sulfur scent, especially in the shower area. The room is great for solo travelers or couples with limited luggage, as it was the size of a dorm room. Elena was very serviceable during my booking experience. I enjoyed my stay, overall."
