Hotel Ísland - Spa & Wellness Hotel Hotel Ísland – Spa & Wellness Hotel

Resort

The hotel itself is great. The restaurant is one of the best places to eat. Highly recommend the shellfish soup. However, the room I had wasn't much to brag about. Don't go looking for a luxury design.

Nice n clean, lovely breakfast, big rooms & pleasant staff. Brisk walk to town centre but we like a walk. Extra for the sauna, dip pool & gym, not worth it.

The outdated room threw me off after seeing the stylish lobby and front of this “spa and wellness” hotel. The double bed came with two twin-size comforters and two flimsy pillows, which didn’t make up for bed feeling like it was tilted slightly toward the head of the bed. We were also given a handicap bathroom, so the entire bathroom floor was flooded after a quick shower with a slow shower drain. Also no toiletries to speak of! Want to use the gym and pool? That’s extra! But don’t worry, they give you a 50% discount just for being a hotel guest. What a rip! This is definitely not a 4-Star hotel and I would never recommend it to anyone. The only reason I’m giving it two stars is for the free breakfast, which was actually decent.

Date and Spa rooms with fee.

Well located with a 15 minute walk to the town. The lobby is modern, clean and welcoming with friendly staff. Breakfast is of a good quality but the standard of the rooms is poor. It’s as if you step away from modern day into the 70’s. The rooms alone were two star, need updating and better bedding (you must ask for an extra pillow or two to sleep).

Cannot fault the hotel. The room was very good and the service was excellent. The breakfast had a fantastic selection and the hours opened was very convenient. It is located close to the centre. Would recommend.

This was the most friendly and helpful hotel experience I've ever had in my life. Every single person behind the front desk whether am or pm shift litteraly went above and beyond. I will be returning to Iceland and I will be staying at hotel island again. Also great prices on food and drinks. Thanks everyone.

Rooms are tiny and no real toiletries to speak of. They did include a kettle coffee and tea. Breakfast is good. The front desk has a bit of an attitude depending on who is there. You have to pay to use the gym (?! ) So might as well walk the 20 minutes to Reykjavik City centre to get your exercise in. Some decently priced food around the corner of the hotel (mulakaffi restaurant) with a lot of food and all you can eat soup, salad, bread, coffee and tea.

Nice reception area and restaurant. However, the rooms are dated so much so that it looks like nothing much has changed since the 1980's. It'll be fine for a base if your looking for a reasonably priced hotel to put your head down.

Rooms are rather old but great breakfast and nice staff. Can say little to the area as we are out in the evening and get out early.

A nice hotel only let down by the distance from the city centre of Reykjavik. It is about a 25/30 minute walk, which is likely no problem in the summer, but due to the changing weather wasn't that much fun! Although you are able to see parts of the City you might otherwise miss. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, whilst the hotel reception is stylish, comfortable and the staff especially welcoming. The hotel bar and restaurant were superb, especially the lamb steak. The included continental breakfast was, again, superb. Plenty of options for hot and cold dishes, which was great when you need a hearty breakfast before a day of traversing Iceland's sights. The only downside to the breakfast options was the tea! It was ok. But not a patch on a proper English teabag. All in all a lovely place to stay if you don't mind walking into Reykjavik proper.

Make sure to include the spa services in booking, very relaxing hot tub and pool. The sauna is great along with gym facilities. More variety would have been nice for breakfast and dinner but nevertheless it is what it is. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Special thanks to Ryan to helped us greatly.

Excellent staff. Very helpful. Good breakfast buffet. Nice rooms. After getting our bearings, realized hotel closer to city centre than first appeared. Would go again.

The rooms have been renovated and are nice to look at. Windows and balcony door are leaking (very unfavourable for winter storms), showering the entire bath is flooded, no ventilation is available. Rooms are cleaned only superficially, in four days the floor was wiped. Baked goods at breakfast frumpy, otherwise good selection. For guests who leave early, there is also a snack for breakfast from 2 o'clock in the morning.

It is very well advised for those who go to Iceland.

Not know… Just passed by.

Great Hotel! Bright, welcoming and modern.

— Received a dated room with a toilet that was modified for someone with mobility issues so was a bit awkward considering we didn't ask for anything outside the norm. — No tea or coffee was included in the room. + Comfy bed and pillows although the pillows were quite thin. You'll have to fold or use two to get the feeling you're even laying on one. The ground floor is quite modern compared to the rest of the hotel or maybe just our room. Don't get why there were two single duvet covers when the bed is a double bed. + Breakfast was the usual continental with eggs and cereal options. — No Wi-Fi signal in the room either. Had to either go to the hallway or ground floor for service. — No satellite channels as advertised. Just news and some 2 other random channels. — Staff in the restaurant weren't very proactive. Lots of standing around talking and even drinking from the bar. — Expected a bit more for the money paid but it was just average. Weather was not the best and would have been nice to stay indoors in a comfortable room and chill for a bit.

Comfortable without great luxuries. Excellent breakfast.

Staff were lovely, polite and very helpful, amazing use of the English language you actually forget it's not there primary language, breakfast was lovely, continental doesn't shove to many options in front of you, a choice of croissants jam marmalade and cranberry sauce, different cold cuts like salami and ham a nice sliced edam, a few different cereals, different breads for toasted (my favourite was a soda bread with pumpkin seeds) and hot foods like scrambled eggs one mixed with bacon the other on its own, hash browns boiled eggs, and grilled tomatoes. Lovely selection of teas and a gorgeous hot chocolate, also coffee on tap. The rooms where small but really well presented with an exceptional view and a communal balcony on each level, the water is extremely soft here and drinkable, and the guys and gals at the desk are very helpful guiding your places to visit on a map. All in all absolutely pleasant and will definitely visit again.

The appearance of the hotel is lovely, however during our stay cleaners were non existent and upon arriving found a hole in the bed sheet and a hair. Walls are paper thin too and can hear everything next door. Breakfast is standard, nothing to be excited about. But overall, a decent hotel as you're out most of the day in Iceland.

City hotel 3 km from centre, breakfast very varied and delicious, spa area costs extra.

Great hotel and good location, reasonable prices and services at the top, the hotel restaurant deserves a detour. Rooms a little see very old but very clean and saw the time spent in and the prices charged we will not complain, great experience.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.
In a very quiet area.

It's clean and ready downtown.

The rooms are spacious and clean, the furnishings are quite worn. The lobby bar has salted prices even for Iceland. Breakfast was very rich, deas staff very friendly. The location is about 40 minutes walk from the centre, in the middle of an office and business district. There is ample parking on the opposite side of the road.

The location is top.
Parking spaces are right at the house.
The breakfast is very rich and tasty. Friendly staff. Cleanliness okay.

Very clean and nice bedrooms. Cozy Lounge.

Good location, comfortable, nice service.

Location not central but still about a 20 minute walk to the center. The room was very clean Large breakfast buffet.

Works and friendly staff. Restaurant very good. Lack of equipment in the rooms: no kettle, no pens or paper.

Good and modern. Attentive staff. Very poor restaurants.

Great to be back in the now refurbished Hotel Island. What was great before is now even better; staff are top class, most welcoming and helpful, the rooms are chic, clean and delightful. The bar area in the lobby is a most congenial place to meet for coffee or something stronger, and the breakfast room on the ground floor now delivers a great selection of healthy (and not so healthy! ) options. The free, and very fast Wi-Fi is a welcome addition too. Congratulations to all involved in the refit — 100% recommended.

Generous Rooms. Good Service and sufficient Breakfast buffet. Short way to the shopping street.

Nice staff, great view from the top floor.

Massive rooms, great bathrooms, helpful staff and awesome breakfast. Only negatives are the distance from the centre of town and having to pay a fortune for internet access.
