Overall, loved this hotel. Lovely style, great view and the breakfast was delicious (didn't try dinner). Walkable to the main shopping & restaurant areas but is far enough that it's quiet. Flybus Iceland provides drop off/ pick up from for airport transfers. Most attractions (lagoons, tours, excursions) also offer pick up/ drop off at this hotel, which is convenient if you're not planning to rent a car. I would stay here again if I am lucky enough to go back to Iceland.
Good location, great parking. Rooms are a bit small and the building itself looks a bit dated

Property was extremely clean and the chef was amazing. But the customer service in the front was horrible its almost like they never really wanted to help or assist right away. Rooms are extremely small and I do mean small. Also you only get 1 housekeeping day for your room to be cleaned and restocked. Even after picking that 1 day I was left going back downstairs to retrieve my own clean towels. Overall I would never stay there again when I could pay the same price for a better hotel.

It seems we were located in a warehouse district and quite a far walk into town and because of the warehouse district. It was very noisy starting at 6 AM in the morning and woke me up every morning. The rooms are very very, very small very hard to maneuver in.
Hotel was really removed from the town where most of the restaurants, shops and sites are located. Should have done a better job of researching. Pricing was competitive with luxury offerings and hotel was far from luxurious. Hotel photographs better than actual.
Traveled with baby- lovely cot provided with bedding for baby. The restaurant onsite is delicious and accommodating. Hotel was clean and staff was friendly and helpful in setting up activities and taxi
The Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel was very clean and the staff was wonderful. The only issue I had was that room service did not make the room up daily. Other then that our stay was wonderful.

Nice property w. Restaurant and bar but a bit removed from city center in walking distance. Staff is friendly and helpful and available at all times in front desk. My biggest disappointment was the beds that are uneven and lumpy and difficult to rest on. Otherwise everything else worked out well.
We stayed at the Eyja Guldsmen Hotel in Reykjavik for five nights this July. We thought the interior design was cool and liked the minimalist vibe of the room. Even with an upgrade which we appreciated, the size was pretty small and was tight quarters for the two of us. The room was clean, very eco conscious so only cleaned once during our stay. Would have loved a refrigerator - itʻs extremely expensive to eat out in Iceland! There is free parking at this hotel which was a bonus. It was not super close to the center of town which I didnʻt realize when we booked. Overall, we had a pleasant experience but I think for the price we were expecting more.
Excellent stay! I was a solo traveler and it was great to stay here. There is an elegant sophistication yet awesome, chill vibe. The breakfast is phenomenal and kept me full through my adventurous days. The main area is inviting and comfortable. The staff are wonderful and always approachable for any need. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it for couples, friends, and families as well.

The hotel itself was very nice and comfortable, and the staff helpful and friendly. However, the floor had many transitions - bumps that made it difficult to roll luggage easily over them. Also, paid almost $300 usd and breakfast was not included? And it cost more than $30 usd to add it? Breakfast - the cheapest meal of the day to make! The only other choice was the small grocery store next door. Way overpriced for what you get.
