Alda Hotel

We enjoyed our 5 night stay. The hotel’s location at the quieter end of Laugavegur is close to restaurants, bars, shopping, tourist attractions and the local bus stop where you can get picked up by the various tour groups. We stayed in a double deluxe King with balcony which was clean and spacious but lacked any type of storage for clothing. The staff on reception were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet-a good healthy selection of tasty breakfast items and everything was fresh. The staff worked very hard and quickly to replenish the food dishes. The use of a mobile phone with helpful apps was much appreciated.

Found this hotel as part of a great flight/hotel package deal and strongly recommend it. It is located in the local shopping area which is well lit, quiet in the morning, not too loud at night. There are people around and it felt safe. Next to many restaurants and we never had to walk more than 15 minutes anywhere. Hotel is clean and comfortable. They have a sauna and hot tub available from 6am-10pm. Reception desk was very helpful when we needed taxis and we were able to check in early from an early flight for a small fee. Would stay here again

We had a good stay at Alda Hotel in Reykjavik. The location is excellent, it’s walkable to a lot of famous and interesting sites of the city with lots of restaurants and shops. The rooms are clean and well maintained (room 214 could benefit from more stronger shower water pressure, but the sink and toilet were ok). L’Occitane bath amenities. Staff were friendly and willing to help. They provided a cellphone for free because their rooms don’t have landline, you can make free local calls. We included the breakfast buffet with our stay, it was ok but would be better if they change some of the offerings each day. The hotel has a restaurant (Brass), a barbershop, a Starbucks, a gym, and a sauna. There’s free street parking from 9p-9a and there’s a nearby pay parking garage (pay street parking is costlier vs garage if outside the free times). We would consider to stay again at Alda Hotel if we go back to Iceland.

We really just had the best experience here! Which was great because we stayed for three nights. This location could not beat. We were able to walk everywhere! There is a cheap parking garage about a block and a half away. Which we found to be very, very convenient. The hotel staff was super friendly, and very accommodating. They have a great breakfast buffet in the morning, too! Our only real complaint is that our room was in the front of the building, and on Saturday and Sunday night It was loud until about 3 AM outside. You can hear every conversation going on. The tattoo parlor across the street also blasts music during the day time hours. The room gets pretty hot, so you really have to leave the windows open. Other than that, we loved it. The room was clean, spacious and exactly what we needed. Cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Perfect place right in the heart of walkable City Center. We were upgraded to the balcony rooms and what a spectacular view of Reykjavik. They even give you a cell phone to use! Great breakfast! The Old Iceland Restaurant is right next door. Don't miss this restaurant!

The staff is SO friendly! The beds are super comfy. Our room very clean and very quiet. The shower had great pressure. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

The location is great if you're looking to be in the center of town. It's also located near on of the finest restaurants in Reykjavik. The service was excellent when we checked in. They were helpful, accommodating and even gave a free upgrade to the room. On check out they were disorganized, had incorrect items on the bill and were deeply skeptical when I disputed those charges. We booked a special rate which included dinner at Brass restaurant. There seemed to be no system in place for this dinner being included. When we went to dinner there was a lot of confusion about it among the restaurant staff. This continued when we were checking out. It also took quite a bit of time to get the receipts printed. I had to get multiples since they only printed the city tax receipt at first. The hotel was filled with American retirees who took over as much common area as possible when they were preparing to go out to their various tours for the day. Just be aware that at certain times it is lousy with my blundering, unaware, vaguely rude, loud and in the way fellow citizens. The rooms were adequate. The bed was mushy. The bathroom was ok but slightly grungy. The shower door leaked all over the floor. And the water temperature was difficult to adjust. Not matter how much I tried I could not find a decent temperature. It seemed to have 2 settings, ice cold or almost scalding. The value was good with the included dinner. The walls are paper thin in the old building, so you hear everything. And housekeeping starts early, I saw the carts out and the housekeepers at 7AM.

This is a wonderful hotel! The rooms are lovely with comfortable beds and great coffee to start your daily adventures. The location is fantastic and dipping into the hot tub after a day ilif exploring Iceland is a great way to end the day. The staff were fabulous, everyone helped to make our holiday perfect! I only wish that I could come back and stay sooner ☺️
