Beautiful hotel with very friendly & helpful staff. They helped us with every question we had about the area and made us feel at home. Everything about the room down to the small details were wonderful, they held our luggage for free, helped us request taxis, and even helped direct us to a pharmacy when we needed one on short notice.

Excellent, comfortable hotel. A bit away from the center in a non-descript neighborhood but not that far from all the shops and restaurants on Laugavegur.

This hotel is so right around the corner from a Bonus store. It is a bit further from most of the shopping and cafes on Laugavegur St, but is not too far from the food hall. Overall, the food in the hotel was great, staff were helpful and kind, and it was very quiet. It did not have a mini fridge or microwave or air conditioning, but was perfect for our needs and did not feel stuffy in April.

This hotel really exceeded my expectations. They were able to accommodate a much needed earlier check-in. The lobby of the hotel was very cozy and had an extensive area for people to hang out. In addition, complimentary tea and coffee were available as self-serve all day. The room was small but efficient - it was clean and bright and very new. One unfortunate thing that happened while there was the elevator had broken down; however, the staff were able to help with luggage as needed. Note that the room did not have a mini fridge. Parking was easy and free. We chose the hotel for its walking distance to the city without the noise of a city. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

I LOVED my stay at Eyja Guldsman, though short. It is beautiful and comfortable, the staff were kind and helpful, and they offer free coffee and tea! I just wish it were closer to the city center - I switched hotels after a night, and I loved the convenience of my next place though it wasn’t as warm and inviting.
