Hotel Holt - Art Museum

Old hotel with beautiful woodwork. Great sitting area in lobby. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Love the old elevator and paintings. Breakfast was excellent. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Reykjavík.

I love the style of the hotel and location. It has a classic look with nice art everywhere, and only 10min walk to shopping area. There’s a grocery store nearby and you can put your food in the small fridge inside. Stayed in a triple room and it’s a nice size room. The living room has a pull out sofa with a very soft comfortable mattress & windo that opens up. The bedroom area has a window but does not open which was okay. There’s also a phone charger by the bed stand. There’s a separate bathtub room which I thought was pretty neat. Front desk lady was extremely helpful and very nice, check in was easy. They have regular key not a card key that you can leave with them when you go out or take with you. We didn’t try the restaurant but I tried the bar and bartender was great! I didn’t notice this until the day we were leaving that there’s an extra waiting area in the lobby on the left side of the counter, which has more space. Not many places uses cloth hand towel in the rest room, which I thought was even impressive. Glad we were in the 2nd floor, because the elevator is very small. There were 3 of us with 1 roller luggage each and we barely fit & we are all petite size. Could have use more lighting in the bedroom and mirror by the desk table. Overall, the hotel is nice, i rated it high because the things that they lack didn’t matter much to me. Love to stay again.

The hotel was pretty much accurate in its description. The staff was very friendly and professional. The hotel overall was somewhat dated. We did not go to the restaurant or bar, as there is much in walking distance from the hotel. The first night we had to park on the street nearby and pay for a couple hours, because the parking lot was full. Park your car early and walk to dinner or around town, is my only advice. We booked just 2 nights out of our 4 nights in Reykjavik at Hotel Holt, as we enjoy staying at multiple hotels in case we are not pleased with property or location.

Great position. Fantastic artworks and ambience. Should have stayed longer. Room needed new light globes. Would stay again. AG

This hotel is in a great location, has easy parking, and is a 5-10 minute walk from most of the downtown Reykjavik sights, which is great. The service was also very good. However, the hotel is very dated with old carpeting in the rooms and is in need of some updating.

Very clean hotel with beautiful paintings, friendly staff. My wife tripped and fell on the street and when we got back the front desk attendant could not have been more helpful. This is a great hotel!

Wonderful hotel with super-friendly staff. The housekeeper was meticulous and kept things very clean.. They have free parking in a lot right next to the hotel, which is very helpful. The wifi in the room was abysmal, they need to re-wire and put in new transmitters -- at busy times I kept loosing wifi and could not do my work. They say there is good wifi in the lobby but I think the hotel should have good wifi in the rooms.

Hotel Holt was comfortable and in a convenient location; easy walking to anywhere in the city center. The staff were totally gracious, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast buffet excellent and beautifully presented. The lobby and public rooms looked a bit dated and dreary and could use some refreshment and better lighting. TV channel selection was very limited but wifi excellent. Room was small and simple with extremely narrow twin beds.

Amazing artwork, as all the reviews have said. Super fun to walk each floor. Manager let us continue to park our car in the lot after we had checked out, prior to going to airport later that day . . much appreciated. A Nespresso machine for the coffee in the room would've been much appreciated, rather than instant coffee.

Our welcome at the front desk was probably the best we had in Iceland. The staff was very helpful in helping us find local venues for food and parking. The hotel has a very unique feel and we wish we spent more time enjoying the restaurant and lobby, but it was very close to downtown Reykjavik and an easy walk to local attractions, so it was hard to stay indoors! This place was great in the summer but would be a super cozy stay in Iceland's colder months, too.
