Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel

Rooms are spacious for Iceland however there are no bath tubs only showers. The hotel is almost a mile from the main downtown are so you’ll do a lot of walking. The hotel is not near anything nor is it close to public transport. The lobby is gorgeous and the amenities are first class. The shampoo, other items in the bathroom are superb. On the plus side: Because the location is far from downtown it’s quiet at night. I saw some of the other hotels downtown and they were tiny and spartan.

nice bed, spacious bathroom. Good black-out curtains. The room is small, but for a single traveler who was pretty much just staying there to sleep at the end of a day of exploring, it was just fine. Staff were incredibly friendly and I did not need anything overnight, but I felt better knowing that there was someone available 24 hours a day in case I did need something. I liked the electric kettle. I did not stay for breakfast or dinner but it looked great! I'd stay here again :)

Lovely room, toiletries included and clean and tidy. Staff super friendly and helpful, spoke good English and answered all questions we had about where different stores where, transportation and airport transfers. Optional breakfast and meals that we didn’t need to pay upfront for or reserve - could just take a seat. English tv channels in the room. Free room upgrade

Great location, everything is in walking distance and buses for the tours are able to pick up and drop off directly outside the hotel. All the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is exactly as shown in the photos, and the rooms are all easily accessible without long walks through lobbies. We were actually really lucky and also saw the Northern Lights from the front of the hotel on our 4th night. The cleaners come in everyday to freshen up the room, change towels and refill toiletries.

Beds were firm (really important for us). The free parking (lot in back) was very convenient to use. Staff were very helpful in storing our luggage as we arrived early. Coffee/hot water/ice water were always available. Though the location was a slightly further from the restaurants and sights in Reykjavik this actually worked in our favor as we needed to leave the next AM early. Since we were driving a rental car it was somewhat easier to get out of Reykjavik. Also, the location was relatively quiet compared to closer into downtown.
