Our stay at Arnarhvoll was fantastic. Although we were invited to have breakfast and use the spa and rooftop bar facilities, we didn’t use them, so cannot comment. We were always out exploring Reykjavík but thankful to come back to a fab room with a big comfy bed, clean bathroom and the most amazing views of the Harbour, Harpa concert hall and across the bay to the awesome Esja mountains.

Room was very clean, though small - it was difficult to manage my large suitcase in the small room, as there really wasn't floor space for it and the luggage holder was not big enough for a large suitcase. Otherwise, it was a great experience - perfect location by the harbor, nice breakfast buffet, helpful staff.

Clean, warm, comfortable room. In fact, so warm we had to open windows, even after turning the heating down. The view was superb, probably the best in Reykjavik. The only constructive criticism might be that there was nowhere to hang clothes, but there was ample space to leave both suitcases open, so not a big deal.

The location was very convenient for us as it was just across the road from where our cruise ship disembarked. If you use the airport shuttle, the stop is just across the street too. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable.
