Hotel Ísland – Spa & Wellness Hotel

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Island. The staff at the front desk and the housekeeping people were awesome. The rooms were decent size, enough room for a family of 4 (two teenage daughters). The bedding and linen were excellent quality. We also used the spa, which was included with our room rate, and loved it! The restaurant has good food and cocktails. The restaurant manager from Hungary, is a super nice gentleman. The other staff, Miranda, Matilda and another bartender(can't remember her name) were delightful! The location is about 10 minutes to downtown, we had a car which is a must when visiting Iceland so we had no issues. I'd definitely recommend this hotel if you're traveling with the family, it's a good option compared to staying in downtown Reykjavik.

The hotel as a whole was amazing and clean. I wish I had asked the names of all the staff from the reception to the kitchen everyone deserves merit as they exceeded any reservations I had. Absolutely lovely people and very welcoming!! The breakfast was great value and had everything I needed from eggs,pastries, coffees,yoghurts, cereals but I dont think it had any vegan options other than milk so if you’re vegan maybe that’s something you should keep in mind :( for dinner however, I do think they had a couple vegan/veg options to which I had a soup and burger which was the best burger I had, had in a moment. The spa is very nice and it is quite small so, the best time might be when it’s less crowded but it was very nice and clean. I wish I had a massage done but I didn’t have time unfortunately :( Lastly as for location it was 40 minutes away from the airport by car.

The hotel was ideally situated for the concert we were going to (Sigur Ros at Laugardalshöllin) and was a delight to stay in from beginning to end - staff are very friendly and always helpful. Room was a good size and quiet. Breakfast was good and plentiful) The hotel is just outside the city centre so you need to walk (about 30 mins but we found this an enjoyable stroll). Alternatively it is well served by taxi's which turn up within 5 minutes (or less) of being called. All of the major tour operators called here as well.

We had a "superior spacious suite" — three double beds, lots of space, and a big bathroom. It was *great* for a family, and would be a very economical choice for a group of friends traveling together. Breakfast was included, and was excellent; in addition to the traditional Nordic choices of cheese, meat, fruit, yogurt, cucumbers, tomatoes, and bread, there were pastries, eggs, American bacon, sausages, etc. Access to the spa was also included in our room rate and was a wonderful way to spend a few hours after checkout before going to the airport. It is a SPA, and not a pool: we loved the hot soaking tub and the floating pool, and were so thankful the age limit is 16 and older. It's tranquil and relaxing. As a note: the Flybus from the airport will bring you directly to this hotel. You switch from the large bus at BSI Terminal to a smaller bus. We were at the hotel less than an hour after departing the airport.

We were a group of 3 friends, stayed for 4 nights in early April, could not fault hotel one bit, was very clean, large spacious room, very comfortable beds, delicious food, very friendly and helpful staff. Did contemplate switching hotels as is slightly out of town but was a lovely 20mins walk along the scenic sea path with sculptures and mountain views. Spa was small but very relaxing, separate saunas in female and male changing rooms, communal hot tub and small swimming area. Tour busses and transfers drop off and pick up from this hotel. Thoroughly recommend and would definitely rebook for another visit.
