Room was very clean and the location is fantastic. We got off cruise ship early in the morning and went to see if they would store our luggage until
Check in. To our surprise they checked us in and gave us our rooms immediately. Great service.

The perfect hotel for the trip!! We only stayed one night then headed east but the hotel was so nice, had lots of space, very friendly and helpful staff, and was in the perfect location for walking around the city- near all the city’s highlights, food, shopping, etc. Highly recommend!!

It was excellent hotel and the staff was very helpful and accommodated our requests too. The only drawback was there were no microwave and iron for clothes. I wish they had those things then our stay would be more comfortable as we have dietary restrictions. The location of the hotel was excellent as the bus stop 9 was just 4-5 mins walk. Also, the church and rainbow street was at walking distance. We don’t drive so it make sense to book this hotel in center of Reykjavík.

The staff was very courteous and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a full range of options. The hotel's location was on a major shopping street in the center of Rejklavik with numerous restaurants just a short walk. The restaurant had superb food and we had several meals there. We would definitely go back. Having a Starbucks attached to the hotel was a big plus!

Cute hotel, great location. Close to Bus Stop 9 which was easy for shuttle/tour pick ups.

Very nice front desk staff

Only small note is that there was no apparent A/C in the rooms, so if you run hot and you need to crack the window, if you're on a street facing room, you can have some noise pollution as well as cigarette smoke from street level. Bring a small fan if you're a warm sleeper like me!

Wouldn't hesitate to return here

Highly recommend this property! I travel a LOT and I can say the women who work at this hotel are exceptional ( the man at the front....not so much :-) The room is very clean and simple. I had a very large shared balcony. I do travel with two portable door alarms, so situations like this are not a concern to me. The balcony has a good view of the volcanic mountains in the distance. You're given a PHONE when you arrive which you carry with you as you travel around. You can call the front desk or other rooms or taxis with the phone! What a great idea! All the taxi drivers know where the ALDA is. It's also attached to a restaurant on one side and STARBUCKS on the other! It's on a main street with exceptional shopping and restaurants! Of course there is a FREE water station downstairs to fill up your bottles with Icelandic water. The front desk called my taxis for me, and even assisted on some of my travel planning. My first time in Iceland and I will now be back and staying at the ALDA again!

The rooms were below average with very basic amenities, not even a refrigerator. The mattress was horrible. The queen room was about the size of a college dorm room with some strange light with a sweater sleeve covering? The location is ideal for the tours. The reception staff Andrea and Michelle were rude, lazy, and disrespectful.

It was relatively clean, staff was polite but short, location was great. I was a bit disappointed that the balcony was not private and had a stair leading down to the street, that made me feel slightly unsafe and was not mentioned in the listing. The sheets and duvet cover also had old stains and hair on them, and two out of three times we talked to staff they seemed annoyed that we bothered them, even tho we were quiet and respectful. The room often had a smell like sewer that we couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. One other thing that was kind of annoying was the lack of good blackout curtains, which made a huge difference when the sun only set for about an hour. It seemed like we paid far more than what it was worth. It wasn’t terrible, but also wasn’t great.

Our stay at Alda Hotel was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond in every possible way and truly made our trip even more memorable. We were incredibly grateful to receive an early check-in since our room was already ready when we arrived after traveling.

The breakfast offered a wonderful variety of options each morning, and everything was fresh and delicious. Every single member of the staff was warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay.

The location was also fantastic — perfectly situated for exploring Reykjavík while still feeling comfortable and relaxing. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Alda Hotel to anyone visiting Iceland!

Great location. Easy to walk to most shopping and cafes in downtown. The geothermal hot tub was very nice. Although small, it packed a punch of 41c. So 10 min was most i could manage in any session. The hotel offers a grab&go in the morning if your up and out early before the breakfast room opens at 7am. Given the high prices of everything in Iceland, having breakfast included was a major benefit. There is a Starbucks and a barbers attached to the hotel lobby, plus a resturant/ bar. I didn't use these options, but they seemed to be busy. The airport- flybus, will drop you off at stop 9, which is 2 small blocks to walk to the hotel.

Friendly and helpful front desk staff. The in-room coffee was actually pretty good, although there is also a Starbucks on the ground floor. Great location, easy walk to shops and restaurants. Amenities include a hot tub and gym, although I didn’t use either. No on-site parking and on-street parking can be pricey if you don’t search for the cheaper spots. You’ll definitely need the parking apps to figure this out. Beds were super comfy. Only issue with the room was there was some debris under the desk but not a big deal. Definitely recommend this hotel.

We (family of four, 2 kids under 13), had an outstanding stay at Alda Hotel in Reykjavik and would absolutely return.

The location is hard to beat—right in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance to major sights, great restaurants, bars, and shopping. It made exploring Reykjavik incredibly convenient, whether we were heading out for a quick coffee or a full day of sightseeing.

Our room was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out. Everything felt well-maintained and true to what we expected when booking, which is always appreciated.

The staff really stood out. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and quick to help with anything we needed. Whether it was answering questions, offering recommendations, or assisting with small requests, they were consistently prompt and professional.

One thing to note is parking. Since the hotel is located in a very popular and central district, finding a nearby spot can sometimes be a bit challenging. Be prepared for a short walk, especially if you have luggage. That said, it’s a small trade-off for being in such a prime location.

Overall, Alda Hotel delivered a fantastic experience—great location, comfortable accommodations, and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Reykjavik

The Alda Hotel makes for an idyllic base In Reykjavík with its central location and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Breakfast has that aesthetic European flavor profile, but also the traditional American foods. The restaurant’s food was equally delicious. And check out the happy hour; the bar tender makes photographical cocktails!

This hotel met all our needs and beyond! The cleanliness was superb and the service outstanding. The rooms and the entire hotel were beautiful. The included breakfast every morning is an absolute must and have an assortment of food for everyone’s taste and the service was outstanding. The location of the hotel is in the heart of Reykjavik and close to all attractions and most important of all, close to the #9 bus stop at Snorrabraut where all your excursions go out from. We utilized the gym and hot tub as well and it met our needs. The hot tub is a little small and outside. The restaurant attached to the hotel had great food and great service. I highly recommend Alda Hotel!

Amazing property right in the center of Reykjavik's tourist strip. Everything from the Kolaportið Flea Market to the iconic Hallgrimskirkja was in walking distance.
Perfect to go grab souvenirs and good food, spend some time in a hot tub, and get a peaceful nights sleep.

Would recommend the Top Floor Balcony rooms! The balconies are connected & wrap around, so you can get a Full 360 view of the city (and maybe the Aurora!) just by stepping outside.
