I was disappointed with my stay at Hotel Eyja. Although it’s advertised as a 4-star hotel, my experience was much closer to a 3-star property.

The biggest issue was the reception staff, who were mostly unhelpful and unwelcoming. A friendly and professional front desk sets the tone for a hotel stay, and unfortunately that was completely missing here.

The hotel itself was average, with nothing particularly memorable or special to justify its 4-star rating. Overall, it lacked the level of service and attention to detail I expected.

The only positive part of my stay was that a couple of the staff working in the kitchen were genuinely kind and friendly, and I appreciated their attitude. Also the hotel close to the centre.

I wouldn’t choose to stay here again, and I can’t recommend it based on the service I received.

Positive:Good location, close to several restaurants, not really in main downtown area but several nice places nearby. Parking in front of the hotel was smooth. Breakfast was very good, it is worth the extra charge. Negative: Check in process was not good. After a long flight, despite asking for an early check in with no success and waiting for several hours to get my room ready, other people get their rooms firsthand arriving much later than me. Receptionist wasn’t kind nor helpful.
Room cleaning was erratic, happened only on the first day but not on the others, even though we left the tag outside asking for it.

What I liked:
-The bed was VERY comfortable! It was soft but still supportive.
-The shower and bath amenities were good.
-Good location for walking the city.
-There is a store right behind the hotel.
-Quiet area. Even with the window propped open, there was very little street noise.

What I didn’t like:
-The man behind the service counter was not very helpful. Curt and indifferent.
-The rooms were VERY poorly ventilated. There was no air conditioning.. which I understand as they rarely need it, but they only had one window that we could prop open a tiny bit, and there was no air flow. The curtains were in sections, so that 24 hour sun shone through, heating up the room.
-Packing, unpacking, showering, and getting ready for the day was a challenge in July, as the room was very small and extremely warm and stuffy! I had to frequently leave the room and go outside to cool off.
-They advertise a restaurant on the premises, but there is none.
-They also advertised that they offer soup and sandwiches in the evening, however, there was no soup, which would’ve been great coming in from a very cold walk.

I wanted to love this hotel because the photos make it look modern and luxurious, but my experience was unfortunately average.

The biggest issue was safety. While my young son and I were enjoying tea and hot chocolate in the lounge, a man who was not staying at the hotel approached us and began asking for money. He continued asking personal questions, including whether I spoke Spanish, and the interaction was intense and he frightened me. As a woman traveling with a young child, it was frightening.

When I reported the incident to the front desk, I was told by the front desk staff that he had indeed seen the man come into the hotel but was busy checking in another guest. That response was disappointing. I would have expected someone who noticed a non-guest wandering into the lounge and approaching guests to intervene much sooner. The safety of guests - especially a woman and child - should take priority over completing a check-in.

Beyond that experience, I also felt the hotel didn’t quite live up to its four-star rating. The photos create the impression of a high-end property, but in person the rooms and furnishings felt much less premium. The finishes and furniture looked inexpensive, and overall it felt like the hotel was trying to appear more luxurious than it actually was.

The location is convenient, and the hotel has a nice aesthetic at first glance, but between the lack of security in the guest lounge and the overall quality not matching the expectation.

Our stay at Hotel Eyja in Reykjavík was excellent. The hotel was modern, clean, and comfortable, with a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to answer questions or offer recommendations.

The location was perfect for exploring Reykjavík. We were able to walk to restaurants, shops, museums, and many of the city’s attractions while still enjoying a quiet and relaxing place to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, and the breakfast offered a great selection to start each day. After spending our days exploring Iceland’s incredible waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches, and charming towns, it was wonderful to return to such a comfortable hotel each evening.

Hotel Eyja was the perfect home base for our Iceland adventure. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reykjavík and would gladly stay here again.

The bed was a touch on the firm side but comfortable. The rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly. The only thing I wish we had in the room was a kettle and coffee maker tho they did have these available in the lobby all day, sometimes it’s just nice to have your morning cup of coffee as you’re getting ready for the day. Great location and easy to find. Complimentary continental breakfast was great! We even saw the Northern lights on our last night!

I stayed here for my birthday and my first trip to Iceland. I chose Eyja Guldsmeden because reviews mentioned good vegan/vegetarian breakfast options. While there were things I liked, several comfort issues affected my stay for a four‑star hotel.

The room was cold on arrival and the heating took too long to warm up the room. I had to turn radiator on. The bathroom was also very cold and would benefit from heated towel rail or underfloor heating. Shower water pressure felt too low. The hand wash was almost empty and ran out after a few days; when I asked for more, I was told none could be found until morning, and only after insisting was a replacement provided. Please explain electricity only works when the key card is inserted into the slot at check-in. The cleaning policy should be highlighted more clearly when booking.

The room didn’t feel soundproof — I could hear people in the corridor, and there was a small visible gap on the side of the door. Breakfast cooking smells travelled through the hotel, and although the lounge area was nicely presented, it felt cold in the mornings.

Complimentary tea was good, but UHT pots would have been better than creamer in rooms. The room didn’t feel very cozy for winter. A blanket/ bed spread would help.

On the positive side, the room design and toiletries were lovely. Breakfast was very good, especially the Bircher muesli and Icelandic breads. The location was excellent, and tour pick‑ups right outside the hotel were very convenient.
