Hidden gem in the heart of Reykjavik
Pros:

Hotel Phoenix is a hidden gem! Its location is perfect. Close to all the things you want to see and do but far away from the noisy and all night bars. The hosts were the best!! Very informative and happy to help. My room was huge, clean and super comfortable - I was a solo traveler so I was so surprised by my lovely room!! And turn down service at night with a chocolate on my pillow. I had breakfast included- and on my last day I had to leave at 5am - so they made me a breakfast to go! How thoughtful. Hotel Phoenix was the perfect ending to my visit to Iceland. 🙏🏻❤️

Cons:

This was not a negative for me! Breakfast was wonderful! But if you are Vegan or Vegetarian- you may want to check with them in advance as the breakfast is not a buffet. Again, not a complaint - but I know some people have food preferences.

Lovely place to stay with comfortable beds and a terrific breakfast each morning.
Pros:

Excellent and healthy breakfast each morning with enough that there was leftovers for lunch as well. Nice touch to have our bed turned down with a chocolate when we returned in the evening. Location was close enough that we could walk to most any part of the city. Beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

Would have been nice to be able to drop off our bags upon arrival. And shower was a little tight. And will be nicer when construction is done outside.

In general we liked the Hotel and the staff.
Pros:

Breakfast was perfect . Although not with 100s of choices , but very nutritious with exact amount of food You need in the morning .

Cons:

The sound insulation could be better , You can hear , when neighbors coming or leaving the Room . But the hotel is small and it doesn’t happened very often , when somebody is coming . To be fair , You can hear only the doors locking or unlocking , nothing was coming from neighbor Room through the wall .

Pros:

Hotel boutique dove il cliente si sente accolto e coccolato fin dal primo momento. Gli ambienti, ricercati nell' arredo e molto puliti, creano un' atmosfera gradevole e curata. La colazione offre prodotti locali di alta qualità e molto nutrienti. L'albergo è collocato in centro, vicino alle principali attrazioni e alla zona pedonale, con ristoranti e supermercati a due passi.

Cons:

Niente

The Phoenix and the dynamic duo that run the hotel are wonderful! They are very professional, kind and generous. They de
Pros:

The location is close to all the great shopping but not in the middle of the noise. It is perfect. There is street construction happening right now, but I can see when it is all done it will be amazing.

Cons:

The construction fencing will be gone when the construction is done. It was very quiet, so that was not a problem.
