Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina

Loved the hotel and its central marina location! We were especially charmed by the quirky lobby furnishings and artwork. Thank you for excellent service!

great gime. Really enjoyed it.

The first floor of the hotel has several sitting areas adjacent to the lobby, each decorated in a unique and interesting way. Most of these rooms had big comfortable chairs, large bookcases, and nice decor making them perfect for cozy reading or chatting rooms. The hotel is about three or so blocks out of the central tourist core of Reykevik which is kind of perfect. The room was clean, simple, modern, and efficient, but could have perhaps used a bit more charm (the rooms have a bit of an IKEA vibe). The room was of adequate size, but certainly not much room to spare. Staff was helpful and efficient. I watched one of the staff valiantly try to help a customer sort out a transportation problem and I was quite impressed how hard this person tried to help. The hotel is right on a well-travelled road which means that there is some road noise at night. There is a view of the water and boats/ships, but there is a bit of an industrial aura to the land between the water and the hotel. There appeared to be some random parking in dirt / gravel lots between the hotel and water (I saw no signs indicating if this is acceptable parking or not, but plenty of people were successfully taking advantage of the ambiguity). There is a restaurant / bar in the hotel that was good. There is also a good restaurant across the street.

The biggest disadvantage: parking is across the street in a gravel parking lot. There is some noise especially if your room faces the street side; in fact, they include ear plugs on the night stands do they are aware. The biggest positives: location, close to the marina and multiple eating places in walking distance; nice staff; boujee lobby with modern decor, exercise room, library, etc and the breakfast was THE BEST. More than you can imagine: egg soufflé, bacon, ham, breads, yogurt, fresh fruit including apples, watermelon; some pastries, etc. Do not miss the breakfast !!!!!

Outstanding - not wild about see through lavatory door - otherwise excellent
