Lovely hotel and great location. Only thing to note is that breakfast is from 7am and majority of day excursions start at 7am, meaning you cannot have breakfast at the hotel. When I spoke with the receptionist they offered to box a breakfast up for a cost an equivalent to £25. I found this quite disappointing as I paid for breakfast when booking and only had it 1 out of 3 days.

Wonderful hotel. Stayed in a single room. Only negative was storage. No night tables, closet, or storage in bathroom. Would be great to have shelf over pedestal sink to put your toothbrush and cup. It wouldn't cost much for them to put some hooks on the wall so you can hang up your coat and other clothes.

When my only complaint is lack of hooks for drying wet gear, I know I have had an excellent stay! The Sand has everything you want: excellent staff, modern clean rooms with marble bathroom, beautiful down bedding, and the free breakfast cannot be beat! This lovely spot is easy to walk to from bus stop number 14 and is surrounded by great restaurants and shops. It was my perfect central location and I will be back!

Excellent location, hotel had cute boutique vibe, room was small but the bed was so comfortable! But the highlight was the breakfast in the morning - best we had during the 9 day trip. We would go to Iceland again just for that breakfast again.

Great hotel with super location. The only downside was a very loud bar with live band seemingly right beside our room. Don’t stay on the West side of hotel on Friday and Saturday if possible!
