I stayed at the Hotel Holt twice, at the beginning and end of my Iceland trip. I enjoyed the balcony room overlooking the city. Great breakfast as well. They were very accommodating about storing my luggage and offering an earlier check-in on the day I arrived. Gabriella at the front desk was wonderful and so personable both times. She remembered me when I arrived for my second stay, which made the place feel like home.

I stayed at Hotel Holt – The Art Hotel, and although they describe it as a “family hotel,” the property feels extremely old and in serious need of renovation. The rooms and facilities are outdated, and the overall atmosphere is far from what you would expect from a hotel in this category. The breakfast was excellent, and the possibility of parking on site is probably the one thing that truly saves the experience. Overall, a very dated stay that would benefit greatly from modernization.
