The rooms and hotel were very clean! Walking to shopping and restaurants was super convenient. The breakfast was small but had many options. The offerings are the same every day that we were there. Having the breakfast included was very convenient. The only “problem” we encountered was there was no parking. We had to pay for it daily but it is free 9:00 pm-9:00 am for parking. It was still a beautiful property and would love to stay there again.

Friendly staff in a well located down town hotel. Very decent breakfast. Duvets are super warm- too warm actually for rooms where you can't open the window. Pillows very soft and quishy so we had to swap one for a cushion. Harbour is a 5 min walk.

This was easily one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at and it's right next to a fantastic bakery. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The breakfast was great and I would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Reykjavik.

We had a fantastic time in Iceland staying at the Sand Hotel. It was our first trip to Iceland and we wanted a convenient hotel as “home base” as we took day trips to explore. We hope to return!

Great hotel, but be mindful of noise at night

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The central location is perfect for exploring, the rooms are cozy, very clean, and spacious, and the overall atmosphere feels luxurious. The bed was super comfortable, and the breakfast was great with a nice variety of options. A big plus was the helpful reception staff, who even assisted us with restaurant bookings. However, the biggest downside was the noise at night. On Thursday, we heard music from outside until midnight, and on Friday, it went on until at least 3 AM. When we raised this with reception, we were told it was expected due to the central location—but as someone who lives in central London, I don’t typically hear music this late. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel for its comfort, service, and location, but be mindful of potential noise, depending on which side your room is on. If you're a light sleeper, it might be worth requesting a quieter room in advance.

Nice one night stay in the touristy area!

Wonderful one night stay! We spent one night and wanted a place near the pedestrian area and shopping. This hotel was it! Right on the shopping road, lovely, classy, ample street parking and parking structures around, the staff even taught me about the different parking zones and had a handout on fees and how to save $. Continental breakfast in the morning (lots of breads, yogurt, cereal) in the cute cafe. Overall a really nice stay and I would stay againf!
