Top Árbær Open Air Museum Hotel Reviews

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

8/10 Good

"This is our second stay at Alva, but first time at this new location. The beds weren’t very comfortable, but functional. Overall it is very minimalist which probably helps keep cost down but no extra bells and whistles. Also, the breakfast option IS NOT worth it. Go find breakfast in reykjavik."

Arctic Comfort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Easy checkin process and nice room. A few issues such as broken window and missing tv remote. Good place for a bed to sleep in but does not offer much else. No working vending machines."

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

"Really nice hotel. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast buffet was acceptable and so was the bar. Dinner at the Brassiere the first night was fantastic, mediocre the next night. I would book this hotel again."
