Great hotel for a stay in Reykjavik

We had a great stay at Sand Hotel. The location is right on a pedestrian shopping street full of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. (For an unforgettable meal, book a dinner reservation at the Old Iceland Restaurant.) All the local attractions are no more than a 15-20 minute walk, max. The hotel's complimentary breakfast buffet had lots of delicious choices. Rooms are comfortable with modern, tiled bathrooms. Staff are helpful & efficient. Easy access from Keflavik airport on the FlyBus - get off at stop #14, and the hotel is less than a 5 minute walk.

Great location and friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was great but didn’t eat any other meals. It needs some updating as paint is chipping on hallway walls, handle fell off bedroom door and bed is pretty stiff. Definitely can hear street noise but was fine with earplugs.
