Sehr schön und gerne wieder!
Pros:

Lage zentral. Zimmer modern. Personal super nett! Stylische Bar und Lobby. Betten super!

Cons:

Lage neben 2-3 lauten Pubs/ Clubs lassen einen am Wochenende eher wenig schlafen.
Der Cappuccino könnte besser sein, da ist noch Luft nach oben!

Pros:

Staðsetning var fullkomin fyrir það sem ég var að sækja til Rvik.
Aðgengið var gott í það sem ég þurfti og þjónusta starfsfólks var eins og best verður á kosið

Cons:

Útsýnið af herberginu var mjög langt frá því sem lýsingin af Booking gefur upp.
Ég sá engin fjöll og engan sjó, bara bílastæði og bar.

A real lack of warmth in some of the staff
Pros:

We stayed here over New Year in Suite 101; the hotels biggest room. The room has good views of the Harpa Opera House from one side. The room is good although could benefit from some black & white art on the walls and a little more decoration.

Our experience in Iceland is of warm, friendly people particularly in hospitality. Quite notable. Unfortunately not at this hotel from some of the staff!

When we asked if we could keep the room for an extra hour till 1300 we were told there would be a late checkout charge. I had gastro problem on one day and asked if the room could be cleaned as after a walk I wanted to go back to bed. I was told this wasn’t possible and it would be cleaned by 3pm. When we went for a drink in the bar and ordered a cocktail we were told by the friendly barman that he didn’t know how to make cocktails. Google came to the rescue.

Sometimes hotels featuring design (in this case black & white) can be form over substance. This hotel is ok but needs bringing up to date and money spending on it. It’s ok but nothing special.

Decent value good location.
Pros:

Good location. Very clean with turn down service, spotlessly clean rooms. The rooms in the main building are small, the extension building rooms are larger. No amenities, tiny gym, tiny spa that tough to share with other guests. Towels were strangely tiny. Breakfast is very basic. Staff are friendly but they have odd rules like charging you for extra keys and misplaced keys (keys are plastic credit card style BTW nothing special!)
WiFi is good. Most rooms have a limited view but if you’re lucky to get a park facing room those are nicer.

Great Central Location
Pros:

The Hotel 101 is in a great location in the heart of Reykjavik. Very convenient and within walking distance of many of the major sights in the city.
The staff is very welcoming and helpful. With our early arrival they did their best to get us into a room as quickly as possible. This kindness was very much appreciated.
The public rooms in the hotel are a bit worn out and could do with a refresher which is why my rating comes in a bit lower than I would have hoped.
Our room was large and spacious. A bit oddly organized, but workable.
Breakfast was very good with a selection of high quality options.
Overnight parking was free - which was great. But be warned that spaces are very limited.
As with all Icelandic hotels - the price was high vs the value received.

Stylish room, but perks and details fell short
Pros:

I enjoyed my stay here and especially appreciated the spacious, spotless room—quite a luxury for a downtown Reykjavik property. The bed was very comfortable and the blackout blinds worked perfectly for a good night’s sleep.
Check-in was smooth, though I was surprised to learn that Marriott Bonvoy perks don’t apply here. A few small touches, like a coffee/tea setup or a shaving mirror in the bathroom, would have made the experience feel even more premium.
Overall, a very good stay in a stylish and comfortable room, with just a few details that could be improved to truly match the high-quality feel the hotel aims for.

Great night in Reykavik....Clean and well-maintained
Pros:

We spent a night here and it was well located to food and night entertainment. The hotel was also very clean and well kept. Enjoyed the little time we spent here and would go back when we travel back to iceland.

Great hotel in a great location
Pros:

The location was perfect for visiting the city Staff was friendly and helpful, The hotel is beautiful, well appointed either a nice lobby and bar area. The room Itself was wonderful with a sitting area, balcony and even a claw foot tub. The free parking is very limited with maybe eight spots total so be prepared if the parking is full to fina a parking garage. All told, a five star experience

Pros:

We got the suite which was really well considered in terms of the layout. The design of the place was great, just the right amount formal and relaxed. It felt very peaceful being there. It's thoughtfully done.

A couple small quibbles: the room card keys deprogrammed easily, inconvenient. And if you take a bath there was no dedicated shampoo / conditioner / body soap so you had to walk over to the shower which had stationary containers of these. But everything worked so smoothly that those things felt like tiny details within a wonderful stay.
