Most of the staff are very friendly, some of them not that much. The Spanish ladies are so sweet, very professional and very kind all the time. The food is not good, breakfast must be more varieties, every day is the same food, the Hotel is very central for everything, but for sure need a full renovation, mattress are very uncomfortable, and in general the hotel is very old. Edition is much better, new, fresh and very luxury, but of course more expensive. You want to pay for less, this hotel is ok, you want to pay more with better amenities stay in Edition.

Our stay at Arnarhvoll was fantastic. Although we were invited to have breakfast and use the spa and rooftop bar facilities, we didn’t use them, so cannot comment. We were always out exploring Reykjavík but thankful to come back to a fab room with a big comfy bed, clean bathroom and the most amazing views of the Harbour, Harpa concert hall and across the bay to the awesome Esja mountains.

Room was very clean, though small - it was difficult to manage my large suitcase in the small room, as there really wasn't floor space for it and the luggage holder was not big enough for a large suitcase. Otherwise, it was a great experience - perfect location by the harbor, nice breakfast buffet, helpful staff.

Clean, warm, comfortable room. In fact, so warm we had to open windows, even after turning the heating down. The view was superb, probably the best in Reykjavik. The only constructive criticism might be that there was nowhere to hang clothes, but there was ample space to leave both suitcases open, so not a big deal.
