I really liked this hotel, starting with my arrival – 2.5 hours before check-in – when I found that my room was already available and I had been upgraded from a single room to a double.The location was easy to reach by car and parking was problem-free. Once I arrived, I did not use the car because the hotel was close enough by foot to many sights (e.g., 15 min. to Hallgrímskirkja, 20 min. to Lækjartorg in the heart of the business district). The room was tastefully furnished and very clean and quiet, despite being close to the elevator and facing the street. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I also appreciated the in-room safe, a wardrobe with ample storage, the many electrical outlets and good lighting (except for the area near the desk, where the task lighting could be improved). There were blackout drapes on the windows which would be essential during the middle of the summer. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast buffet (3590 ISK) was outstanding with organic eggs, local bacon and sausages, several excellent cheeses, great pastries and several Icelandic specialties such as rúgbrauð (rye bread), herring, skyr, etc., as well as standard items such as cereals, fruits, etc.

The rooms are really cozy and have such a unique atmosphere for a hotel. The breakfast isn't included but it's definitely worth paying for. I especially liked the "I love eco essentials" brand of shampoo/conditioner/etc. the lotion smelled so good and I liked it better than the one i brought with me. The staff were friendly and helpful. I had no idea how to get back to the airport and they helped me figure it out. I would definitely stay here again!

I loved this hotel for its ambience, staff & food! Unique sustainable eco-friendly hotel with a cozy area for coffee/tea and a book. Incredible breakfast before your day’s adventure in Reykjavik. Only downside is it’s really not walking distance to the downtown area. We had rented a car so it was fine for us. The weather is so unpredictable that a long walk may not be the best option. Other than that I would absolutely stay here again.

Friendly staff, nice decor, and clean, comfortable rooms. Parking wasn't an issue. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of town. We walked, but the receptionist recommended taking scooters as another option to get into town.

I wouldn’t change a thing about this hotel! ❤️Even the husband commented what a great find this was. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and soooo cute. Comfortable bed. Great location just a few block from the main street. And the shower—hot water and great pressure.

I agree with the other reviewers rating Eyja Guldsmeden 8/10. What I liked about the property: Convenient parking out front and behind, although the parking spots are very narrow. Quiet neighborhood Next door to Bonus so you can buy some inexpensive food, drinks, and snacks for the day. It's a little bit of distance from downtown but totally walkable. There are lots of great restaurants and a food hall nearby. All of the tours we booked picked us up right at the hotel so we didn't need to walk to a nearby bus stop. What I didn't like: The rooms are smaller than they appear in the pictures. Our queen size bed took up most of the room with only a couple feet on each side. Things felt a little tight with our luggage in the room, and we had to utiliize the armoire and under the bed. The bathroom door is frosted glass which also has a small gap all the way around it. It was definitely a bit uncomfortable. Having a small fridge and microwave in the room would have made things a lot more convenient. The property is next door to Bonus for cheap food, but they open at 10 AM and most people will want to start their day earlier than that. I would have liked a way to keep things cold overnight, and heat them up later. I understand the hotel probably decided against having them because they offer breakfast, but options are nice. (And the breakfast seemed a bit expensive so we decided against it.)

This was a very cute property with convenient parking. It was nice to have meal options on the property and the hotel was quiet with a greay view. The only issue we had was the bathroom. As others mentioned theirs not much privacy with the frosted glass door. The other annoyance was the shower has just a half glass wall which meant the area you enter was open and the floor was constantly wet. The sink also was an issue because it was a bowl so it was impossible to adequately wash your hands without either touching the bowl or spilling water on the counter. Bathroom aside i would use again.
