Really great central city location
Pros:

Location wise perfect, central and close to the bus stop to be picked up for trips. A 24 hour shop nearby, plus restaurants and bars, Hard Rock Cafe close by. Clean good standard hotel. Breakfast was good but very expensive, circa £33 each, plenty of choice and a good English breakfast. The room itself was small for two people, it felt like it was a room for a single person on business rather than a couple. There was a lack of surface space to put things on. All round a great place to explore the City, putting you in walking distance of the Ice Bar and rainbow road. Highly recommended for a short stay.

As central as it gets
Pros:

Hotel Borg is in a class of its own. From the moment you step through the doors of this Art Deco landmark, you feel the weight of its history and the warmth of its hospitality. The rooms are beautifully appointed, blending classic Scandinavian design with genuine comfort — quiet, considered, and genuinely premium.

The staff strike exactly the right balance between professional and personal, and breakfast is fresh, generous, and well-presented. The location on Austurvöllur square is unbeatable, with the harbour and city centre both within easy reach.

This hotel is perfectly located in town. We could walk to everything we wanted to visit and connect to the busses that meet your for tours.

Expensive
Pros:

Good and clean hotel. Breakfast not that good and charging extra for a cappuccino during breakfast. Also charging for the fitness. I already paid 1125€ for 3 nights. Why charging more and more?
