Pros:

Personnel très accueillant. Hotel très propre. Emplacement correct. Séjour agréable sans nuisant sonore. Café ou thé gratuit le matin.

Cons:

Après avoir fait plusieurs hôtels en Islande cela doit être typique de là-bas…les couvertures des lits. On le voit sur la photo c’est des couvertures une personne sur les lits doubles.

Excellent stay at Iceland…
Pros:

We had a wonderful three-night stay at Hotel Eyja Guldsmeden. The location is perfect—within easy reach of tour pickup points, public transport, and a nearby grocery store. The rooms are incredibly quiet thanks to excellent soundproofing and being tucked away from city traffic. Everything was spotless, and the staff were consistently pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended for a restful stay in Reykjavik!

Cons:

None
