Außergewöhnlich kunstvoll gestaltetes Hotel. Wir waren begeistert (Restaurant, Bar, Kaminzimmer, etcccc einfach sehr speziell und wunderschön. Sehr gute Lage um Reykjavic zu erkunden (Hallgrimskirche, Rainbow Srreet, Harpa Concert Hall). Das Personal ist tip top und sehr zuvorkommend. Die Dame an der Rezeption ist perfekt.

Gute Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut, auch das Frühstücksbuffet.

Cons:

Die Kunstgegenstände entsprachen nicht meinem Geschmack. Außerdem wirkte es auf mich trist, auch durch das dunkle Holz. Nicht mein Stil.

Wspaniały Hotel.
Pros:

Wspaniałe miejsce dla miłośników sztuki. Korytarze, sale i wszystkie zakątki hotelu przepełnione pięknymi obrazami, rysunkami i grafikami. Pyszne śniadania, miła obsługa i bardzo wygodne łóżka. W tym hotelu można poczuć klimat, który łączy elegancję, spokój i artystyczną duszę. To miejsce ma wyjątkowy charakter i sprawia, że pobyt staje się czymś więcej niż tylko noclegiem — jest również estetycznym i inspirującym doświadczeniem. Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu, kto ceni komfort, dobrą atmosferę i kontakt ze sztuką.

Cons:

Nie ma tu takiej rzeczy.

Összeségében a célnak megfelelt, reggel elmenttünk este jöttünk
Pros:

Amiket kiemelkedőnek jelöltem,

Cons:

A tv csatornák száma, minősège. A reggeli választék szerény volt, sokszor üres volt a kínáló tál, nem volt szénsavas ásványvíz.

A great choice for a Unique hotel
Pros:

Very unique hotel! Good location and friendly staff. Same price as cookie cutter national chains in Reykjavík

Cons:

It is an older property and the bathroom was by far the smallest of our trip. Useable, but uncomfortably small if the door was closed

Great local guide
Pros:

I've stayed at the Holt before, in 2023. It was a good experience then so when I came back to Reykjavik this time I decided to stay there again. I'm glad I did, because Gabriella, at the front desk, gave us a number of great suggestions for local attractions that were perfect for us. We really enjoyed our stay and her recommendations made the trip that much more memorable. Thanks Gabriella!

Great tour guide
Pros:

The location of the hotel cannot be beat. It is near everything. What made our trip amazing was meeting Gabriella. She greeted us on the first day with a smile and was able to answer all of my questions as to what to do. She gave us suggestion and advice that were spot on. She is a true gem for the Holt hotel. I’m sure we would’ve had a good time but we had an amazing time because of Gabriella! I can’t wait to come back.
