Top Árbær Hotel Reviews

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfast was great and had a nice variety of options to choose from. Nice location and staff were friendly and helpful."

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff was amazing, We got assistance with early check in after red eye and not sleeping with kids. The property is clean, roomy, center location to all necessities. Was happy that they were able to provide fan and opened window was a huge plus. Can’t thank enough for memorable time in Iceland and for accommodating me and my family"

Hotel Von

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel, but I personally would not choose to stay here again, as I found better options available. The location is excellent and probably one of the biggest highlights of this property. It is very convenient and well-situated, making it easy to explore the area. The staff, however, was a disappointment. I found them to be quite distant and unfriendly, and when I asked for dining recommendations or local suggestions, they did not seem very interested in helping or providing many options. A warmer and more welcoming approach from the staff would have made a big difference in the overall experience. The rooms were generally clean, but they appeared somewhat worn and could use better maintenance. There were some stains on the walls and visible signs of wear and tear that took away from the overall impression. The bathroom was clean and functional, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel to travelers who prioritize location and convenience, as it has many positive qualities. However, based on my experience, I believe there are other hotels in the area that offer a better overall experience, especially in terms of service and upkeep."
