Not only is this hotel in the perfect location to everything in Reykjavik, (everything is in walking distance), but it is quiet, the beds are cozy, the breakfast is GREAT (buffet with LOTS of options - and a MUCH cheaper option to going out for breakfast...), the staff was so kind and so helpful AND it's only a 15 minute drive to a dark area to watch the Northern Lights. It's also a 10 minute walk to the bus station (where if you're going on a tour, they are unable to drive on private roads, so the bus station is the next best option). I would certainly recommend this hotel to ANYONE going to Iceland.

Beautiful hotel with an amazing art collection. Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is outstanding. Worth the taxi ride to center town. The lamb at dinner was the best I’ve ever had. Can walk to downtown if so inclined. 10/10 rating!!!

I love that Hotel Holt was very close to BSI Transportation and only few minutes from restaurants, great tourist attractions and near parks. The Hotel Holt Staff was very friendly and helpful with booking my Northern Lights and Golden Circle Tours. The Staff gave me Great directions to get around the city and what resaurants to chose for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The Morning and Night Staff were Excellent with everything that I needed. The 3 gentlemen(one from Greece, Taller one and the one with Blonde hair(ponytail) were so Friendly and Helpful. The young lady, Ella was very kind with helping booking my Tours. When I visit Iceland again, I am staying at Hotel Holt. Thanks for a Great Experience and Making my First time to Iceland an AMAZING Trip..DR. Angela Copeland-USA-Georgia

Rough Start, Smooth Finish

Arrived early morning to Reykjavík like most people, tried to check in to hotel at 12:30pm. Told by staff that room would not be ready for 90 minutes. Left and came back 2 hours later...still not ready, finally 10 minutes after check in time, I’m told room is ready, but when I go to room, housekeeping is still cleaning. After venting my frustration, talked representative out of a couple of glasses of wine. From that point on, for the next few days, received superior service and attention. Loved location and the suite we got was enormous by European standards. I will stay here again.

Dear Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I would like to offer my sincere apologies for delays in getting you to your room. Due to some miscommunication with management, we were not able to have the room ready on time and we feel dismayed at the discomfort this caused you. I would like to thank you again for your patience and we are pleased to hear that the rest of your stay was enjoyable. Should you visit Iceland in the future and stay with us, we will ensure you have a first-rate experience from beginning to end.
