Top Árbær Hotel Reviews

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed here 1 night but it was a nice stay. Staff were very friendly. The included breakfast was very nice (although the coffee cups were very small so had to go back for multiple refills lol) Bed was nice and comfy too. They did have a hot tub but it was freezing, sauna looked nice but we didn’t use it."

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"This was right by the buses for tours so this was a great hotel. Food in the lower floor was great. We ordered the fish and chips. Best meal we had in Iceland. We took a cab to the Perlan Expo because it was the only thing opened after 5. Cab driver was very informative and the Perlan place was great. We loved the Northern Light show and the ice cave. (I brought my 15 yr. old grandson). We reserved tours thru Viator to do the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon and Northern Lights. That was a GREAT tour. Picked us up right outside the hotel. 2 tours in one. The hotel staff was wonderful. Our rooms were fine, beds comfortable. Perfect hotel."

Hotel Odinsve

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is right in the center of downtown. We were able to walk to pretty much everything. The bus stop for tours is just 5 min walk away. The bed was comfortable, staff was very nice and breakfast provided with your stay is just perfect. The restaurant is also convient for dinner w great food. The rooms are a good size for 2 people w a king bed. The bathroom is a little small but nothing that bothered us. Hairdryer provided , towels, and nice heater to beat the chill. There is no ac or refrigerator in case you require one."
