Fantastic location, unexpectedly large room, very clean, modernized bathroom, amenities available downstairs 24/7. Two extremely minor nitpicks: * The church next door rings bells frequently. The sound isolation in our room was ok, but we still heard them at night. Hotel did provide earplugs. * The TV was small and pretty barebones - only live TV and a "pay per view" app. You can connect other devices with an HDMI cable, but it's not as nice as being able to sign in to your own streaming apps.

This is a really beautiful place. Very welcoming and warm staff. Complimentary coffee, teas and pastries in reception. We visited just after Christmas time and it was decorated beautifully. We stayed in a bigger room and the children used the bed settee. It was set up when we arrived. Individual duvets for everyone. Lovely towels and toiletries. Coffee machine in the room with various pods, teas and creamers. Electric hob was useful as we had an early start one day and cooked eggs. Thank you, Adrian for advising we need to put the pan on to heat things up! Hotel breakfast is delicious. Lots of choice. Cereals, breads, fresh fruit, yoghurts, bacon, eggs, pancakes the list goes on. Really enjoyed it being a small hotel, friendly fellow guests. It's close to Bus Stop #1 and #3 depending on your trip pick-up/drop-off. Right next to the lake. We fed the ducks frequently. Very close to all the shops, bars and restaurants. A truly great location. Thank you Kvosin Downtown we're so happy we chose you and you looked after us perfectly. Happy New Year to all.

I’m a travel agent from the United States and I absolutely recommend this hotel! It is in the perfect location, easily walkable to many shops, restaurants and bars. The beds were extremely comfortable with great blackout curtains, and the shower was wonderful. We were upgraded to a larger room, which had a small kitchenette that came equipped with one frying pan, one pot with a lid, cups, plates, silverware, as well as dish soap, and a sponge and towel for cleaning. There was also a small Nespresso maker with coffees and teas replenished each day. The room was really spacious! We had a cute balcony on the second floor as well as a nice sofa, TV and a separate bedroom area with ample closet Space. The bath products were also amazing and the bathroom was a great size! There are also lots of lights in the room. You are given a code to enter a digital keypad to enter your room. Make sure you store this in your phone so you don’t forget it as there didn’t seem to be staff that stayed overnight at the hotel. The only downside, if any, was the many ledges and steps to get to our room with luggage. There is an elevator, however, our room was a little far from the front desk, requiring us to haul Our luggage up and down a few stairs and ledges. We did not eat the breakfast on site as it was very pricey at €24 per person per day. Overall, this is an amazing hotel for your stay in Reykjavík and I will absolutely recommend my clients to stay here.

This is an amazing location, the room was perfect and exactly as described, and the people working at the front desk were incredibly nice and helpful. We arrived several hours early, and expected to drop off our bags, and instead our room was ready and they let us check in early. The front desk appears to have someone there 24/7, we saw someone there when we left/arrived after aurora hunting at 1am and 2am, and they always asked how it went, but you can enter with your code at any time. I specifically wanted a kitchenette because I have picky eaters and wanted to be able to make food for them. Our room had a fridge and a stovetop, which suited our needs perfectly. Despite the amazing location, this was not the most expensive hotel meeting our needs. It was also a perfect location for tour pickups, which was incredibly convenient. I would absolutely stay here again, and I would absolutely recommend it to friends traveling to the area.

This is a nice hotel in a convenient location. We were able to walk to most of the downtown attractions or catch the bus a block away at the city hall. The room was clean, well maintained, and a good size. The breakfast buffet had a decent selection and was a good price compared to similar options in the area. The hotel staff were very accommodating, sending us a text when our room was available early. They were able to answer our questions about the area and called a taxi when needed. This was a very nice stay.

Hotel is ideally placed for exploring Reykjavík with most destinations an easy walking distance. The hotel itself is exceptionally decorated and really feels high end when you walk in, amenities were excellent it had everything you could need and our room was spacious, warm and spotlessly clean. We really loved this hotel and the staff were welcoming. Be aware that parking is a little tricky there is paid parking very close by to drop bags off etc but we found it tricky to find a space we ended up parking a 10min walk away in a multi storey car park which was good, safe and secure but just be aware if you have lots of luggage! We also felt breakfast had a good selection but was quite expensive for what it was compared to breakfast costs at some of the other hotels we stayed at over our 10 day trip.
