Top Árbær Hotel Reviews

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"AMAZING! Best placed we’ve stayed so far in Iceland. The greatest linens, bed, bathroom and room!"

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, clean room and very quiet. Plenty of food options near the hotel and the bagel shop on the ground level was a perfect place for a quick and light breakfast. It is across from Bus Stop #4 so it made it a great location for pick up and drop off for activities around the area. The self service storage lockers for our luggage were helpful the day we checked out. I would definitely stay here again."

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"So nice! Was a lovely pod and lots of bathrooms available. Very clean and they give you a robe, two towels, and shampoo, soap, and lotion to use during your stay. Being able to change the lights was such a cool feature too. They also had a magazine with information on Reykjavik and hotel amenities. I would definitely recommend and stay again!"

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great! Definitely walkable to a convenience store and some local spots. The curtain rod on the bed was barely holding on - might be worth a quick upgrade to put rods that hold up. The place was clean...the fridges were def in need of a cleaning. That was def more than a week or two of old food and they were stuffed to a point where it just didn’t look right. Staff were super friendly. Would recommend and stay here again."
