The fact that there’s a virtual check in desk with no WhatsApp number is super frustrating. My code didn’t work multiple times throughout the stay and I had to go through Expedia who contacted them on my behalf. Having at least one person on site would be helpful. It made long day of travelling even more exhausting. I stayed with them twice, before and after a tour around the island, and it happened both times. Really super unenjoyable

First time staying in a remote checkin hotel. Did not enjoy the process, had a difficult time with it. If it weren't for a staff member, Natalia, we would not have been able to get in. She should be given a raise!! Perhaps she should be given a desk position at the hotel to help guests s needed!!

It was great for what we needed. One night before heading to airport after being a week in Iceland. Clean with a good bed and shower.
But I want travelers to know there is no elevator and it is a
Self check in hotel. Like when one checks into an Airbnb. We did not have heavy luggage so the stairs were not a problem but just in case someone did I wanted them to be aware. Not as many places to choose from for eating but the Dirty burger and Ribs was good. It is a small place but food was great. Then we walked up the street to get Ice cream. We would stay here again. It felt very secure.

The shower and bathroom are only about 3 meters in total length, so be advised that everything during a shower will get wet. Otherwise, amenities were fine; however, the room was extremely hot. Regardless of opening the small window, it remained hot. The only compensation was to also keep the main door open, but that opened you up to hotel thieves, etc. I called the main reception, but they weren’t able to get us a fan or fix the issue.

READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE BOOKING! Its a self serve hotel with no staff on site, if you can believe that. In 40+ years of booking lodging I had never heard of such a thing. No information was posted at the entrance and no one answered repeated knocking. Never made it inside so I can't comment on that, but the outside was not clean. It reminded me of walking by a skid row like establishments. We had to find another hotel, fortunately we found a reliable establishment with actual staff present. It was clean and comfortable inside and out, was reasonably priced and include an excellent breakfast each morning. When I contacted the Arctic Comfort for a refund, I was told to read the fine print in the confirmation email. Sure enough there it was, my bad for assuming it was a real hotel. There are too many trustworthy establishments in Reykjavík to bother with this place. Stay away!

Clean modern room but VERY tiny sink so washing anything more than your hands results in water down your front and on the floor. No shelf or even a single hook to place toiletries or towels on in the bathroom. Sadly someone chose design over functionality. Room did include a fridge, kettle, coffee maker and mugs & glasses. Also no elevator and stairs and hallways are filthy and missing the carpeting. Good space in room for stowing gear. So some very good features and some aspects poor; hence the average over all rating.

This site has a keypad entry system which the outside pad is worn. We could not get in, no phone number to call, difficult finding a customer service person with Expedia. Honestly the multiple attempts to get in, numerous phone calls ruined the experience.
Breakfast was supposed to be at our door in the morning, everyone else had theirs, we either had ours stolen or didn’t get them.

If your going to use a self check in, a number should be easily accessible

First, we had trouble getting into the hotel. There is no physical staff on the property. They email you with a code to get into the front door and the same code opens your room door. Ours didn’t work. I phoned them to help us get in. The gentleman who answered was very pleasant and helpful.
We got in the building. It must be under renovation because the floors are not finished and looked like a construction zone.
The room was fine and finished. The bathroom had a huge heavy glass door, an extremely small sink and an equally small waste basket. The beds were comfortable.
Overall, we liked the room. It is close to shops and about a 10 minute drive to the church and area.

Room was really nice.
Looks like they are currently remodeling and doing upgrades to the floors and stairwell.
Area is very quiet.
Room could be darker so if you need absolute darkness find additional means.

Never had the breakfast so can't comment.

Wish they had a phone for the guests to use somewhere to call them as there is no staff.
Had a room mixup, where the room I was old I had, was not the room I was assigned.
Once I got a hold of the using a locals phone, was resolved very quickly.

We didn’t take the breakfast option. We took advantage of an in-room refrigerator. Overall, the apartment was adequate. The beds were comfortable. There is no sink in the food prep area, only a sink in the bathroom. There are no towel racks. The floor was not swept. The sofa set was very dirty, to the point of being able to smell food or oils on it. There is a really good restaurant next door, Ginger- healthy, tasty choices. Open 11-8. We walked to a gym to use their spa services. And maybe the biggest perk is that the Arctic Comfort Hotel is a stop on the bus pick up for tours and getting to the airport. If you’re not fussy, this is a convenient place to stay.

Great if exploring Iceland in a car. Otherwise 40 min walk to the city centre of Reykjavik. Virtual check in and check out with a helpline if needed. Clean and spacious room. Shower doesn’t smell great but believe this is common in Iceland.

There were many problems encountered with the hotel room here. The lights would not work when attempting to turn them on. The TV would randomly turn on at different points in the night, and it would play Chinese shows. The hallways smell very bad. The staff was unresponsive.

SCAM ALERT! Super dirty floor when we entered the room. Washroom stinks as soon as you turn the water on. Rooms come with fully renovated and modern amenities including a Nespresso Coffee Machine which is the last thing they should’ve been concerned about.
Booking was 2 nights unfortunately and we even wrote a message to clean the second day but still absolutely nothing was done about that. Infect, they wanted us to let them know what time we were going to check out the next morning so that they can have the room ready for next guest when the check out time clearly states 11:00 AM.
Also TV turned on by itself and someone from different room was controlling the TV. We talked to multiple people there who said they had the same issue as well.
In short, do not fall for the pictures and try to stay away from this place as much as you can.

When we showed up the code wasn't working - we were able to sort that out after a few calls. But when we got to the room it wasn't what was advertised at all. It's pretty far outside the city center so the reason we stayed here was because the photos of the room we booked looked like it had a huge living room and kitchenette. The room we actually got was a small cramped one. They ended up getting us into the bigger room the following night - but only offered a 10% refund. On top of that I think the hotel is still in construction so it was noisy during the day. Wouldn't recommend staying here.

The room did not match the pictures. While we were eating dinner another family gained access to our room which was very unsettling. We were unsure where to park. Beds were very hard and expected our additional bed was a pull out couch but it was a very uncomfortable cot.

We ended our 2 week road trying on Ring Road here. We wanted a warm place to come back to after going to the Blue Lagoon. My boyfriend took a shower and neither drain worked. The bathroom completely flooded and went into the carpet of the main room. We ended up cleaning it ourselves and asked to move to a different room but all were booked. I’m glad we found out before the blue lagoon so I was luckily able to shower there. I wish I went down to ask for a partial refund since the main reason we went was for a good shower that couldn’t even happen. Room was hot so we slept with windows open. Bed was comfy and the duvet was thinner compared to other places which was nice. Really really bummed about the shower though.

Nice hotel... much better than what we were expecting given the price. Helpful staff, delicious breakfast, clean... we selected hotel due to its proximity to the place where we needed to get PCR test but would stay there again despite it not being close to downtown Reykavik. What we saved on hotel will pay for a nice dinner in town!

It's kind of far from City central, but thanks to the Hopp scooters I managed. I spend time in two different rooms, and each room had a non working light bulb, one room had two of them, granted it sunny almost all day, so no big deal, just saying.

We stayed with two kids under 9. The breakfast was overpriced even more so than everything in Iceland.
The room had bunk beds and a kitchenette which was great since we could buy some of our meals from the supermarket.
There were no blinds only curtains that didn't go to the ceiling and we were there during summer solstice, so the room was never very dark.
It is located on the edge of town in a sense so driving to and from the hotel was easy and parking was no problem.

Did the trick for one night

It was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly and helped us get a room on a lower floor when requested...wasn't proactively done even though my Dad walks with a cane and there's no elevator.

Room was clean, bathroom was nice except an issue with water drainage in shower and sink - it was slow moving.

I thought breakfast was included but turns out it was an additional $2000 kr.

Kind staff, rooms okay

We arrived early in the morning 6:30am and had to wait till 7am when the hotel opened. There was no one there before 7 and the door was locked. No shops open earlier than 9 around here so I guess it's normal. We had to stand outside in cold for 30 minutes. So if you plan to arrive in odd hours make sure you have enough warm clothing. It's more like a guest house than a hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful once he's there.

Hotel locked up - could not get in after 11pm

Our flight arrived like many others around 11pm. This hotel had no shuttle pickup, they suggested either Taxi at 165 Euros one way or 30 Euros by bus. We took the bus which had us at the hotel at 1:15am. The Hotel was locked up with a not at the front desk, closed at 11pm. There was a bell and intercomm outside the door which we rang about 10 time over 15min then gave up. We also called the hotel number which we could here ringing inside but also no answer. We had to then start walking to another hotel at 1:30am. We called the closest one we could find and he had 1 room left for us. That hotel also called the Arctic Comfort Hotel but got no answer. So we then stayed the second night as we had the room booked for 2 nights and for the most part the room was good, we had found out later that they do not always have a night person although when we did check in they mentioned the front desk is staffed 24hrs. Many tours go out and come back at 2:30am if the guests did not have the keys they would also be locked out. When we checked out it was at 2:30am since that is how long of a wait we needed for the airport bus to pick us up and go to all other hotels for the 6am flight. The check out was smooth but they did not ask how our stay was, so I could not inform them of the shower the was clogged and almost overflowed onto the bathroom floor, or the very loose Power plug in the bathroom another safety hazard.

Beds are horrible. If you like waking up sore the place is perfect. Our shower didn't drain so they switched our room to what was smaller then a dorm. The next day our keys to the room didn't work.

About a 30 min walk into town but good parking

Even though it was 30 mins to walk into town it was easy to find and plenty of free parking out front. It's kind of in an industrial estate. Very quiet.
The staff are very friendly and knowledgable and they have free maps on the check in desk. Bus stop near by and it's only a few stops into town.
There was a mistake with our room key and we entered a room with people already in it. The guys on the front desk were very apologetic and rectified it straight away. The room we had was like a studio apartment with 2 single beds and two bunkbeds. I don't know if they were all like that or whether we had been upgraded. The decor inside the room was a bit old fashioned and the bathroom was tiny but it was light and airy and clean. My mattress was a bit worn with a dip in the middle but it was still comfortable. Three pillows were good as often hotels don't have enough.

Check into the hotel was fine with a gentlemen helping us & with a smiley face. However the lady who served us breakfast & reception duty on the next day, she looks so glum and unfriendly like she has lost her soul.....not a smile on her face, it's sad to see a person that looks like that. The other point I like to make is the shower has no pressure, very slow flowing, wasting a lot of our time when having a shower. Overall, it's just an adequate hotel.

They are not what the seem online. Beware!

It was a nightmare: their cheap IKEA mattresses are very uncomfortable, the room was filthy dirty (the minibar was so dirty we could not use it and there was blood in one bed sheet), the curtains are not appropriate for a place where the sun hardly sets in Spring/Summer and they have far too many steps.

We have 1 baby and 1 toddler, and we booked a triple room (as the baby still sleeps with us anyway, we just needed one extra bed for the toddler; by the way, we didn't reserve breakfast for any day).

When we arrived at our room, we figured it out that it was a double room, not triple, as we had booked. The receptionist told us the triple room had been given to someone else and, after calling his manager, he said we would have to stay at a quadruple room. Astonishingly enough, we were forced to pay the difference!

When I pondered that I booked a triple room and I didn't think was fair to pay more for something that I did not need, he said his manager was adamant that we should stay at a room with 4 beds as we were 4 guests (irrespective of the kids age!). So, we had to stay at a room in the third floor, with no lift (imagine that with baby stroller... or for someone who needs a wheelchair, which at least was not our case), with one double bed and one bunk bed. We did not even use the top bed at the bunk bed, as we were afraid the toddler could fall from the heigh.

What seemed like a good deal online was a truly nightmare...

great hotel, a fair distance from the city centre

This hotel was a really pleasant hotel. The facilities were good and the staff here was excellent in helping you either book something like a tour, or to help you get around the city.

The only downside to this hotel is that it is a considerable distance from the town centre. If you enjoy walking then the main street for shopping is around a 40 minute walk. There are busses available to get to town but I found icelandic busses difficult to get my head around.
