Hotel Borg by Keahotels

Lo stile art decò, la centralità , l’organizzazione. La cortesia del personale

Abbastanza caro, ma tutto in Islanda lo è!!

We stayed here following a Viking cruise. The hotel is elegant, reflective of a golden era. The hotel staff was so very friendly and helpful during our stay, couldn't ask for more from them. Hopefully the hotel will consider opening their restaurant in the future to provide a complete destination experience. BTW, the included buffet breakfast was most impressive and delicious. Can't beat the location for walking around the center of Reykjavik. Plenty of shops, restaurants, drinking establishments, etc. within easy 5-15 minute walk.

Hotel Borg is a lovely hotel with a great location. The service was excellent and the rooms were clean and nicely decorated.

As others have noted, the hotel is in an excellent location near main shopping areas and the harbor area, as well as restaurants and bars. The hotel is clean and appears to be well maintained, although originally built in the 1930’s. The staff was friendly and offered restaurant options as the hotel’s restaurant/bar was closed during our stay (temporary or permanent?) except for breakfast. Not a big deal for us as it provided the opportunity visit a couple of the many near by restaurants/bars. Our room was small by current standards and lacked storage space, especially for 2 people. The coffee maker and one bed side lamp did not work which was not a big deal due to our short stay. Also there were limited electrical outlets. I climbed under the desk to locate 2 power strips (already powering TV, coffee maker, lamp, etc.) so I could connect phone/iPad chargers. Of greater concern were the potentially unsafe conditions in the bathroom, especially for people with mobility issues or the elderly: -I have never seen such a small sink in a hotel bathroom. It was impossible to use without splashing water on the tile floor creating a slipping hazard. Placing the bath mat under the sink helped to minimize the problem -The combo tub/shower was a bigger issue. The side of the tub was ~5 inches above my knee (~25 inches above the floor), and there were no grab bars or handholds making it difficult to climb in the tub. (As a point of reference the side of a typical household tub is ~ 15 inches above the floor). Once in the tub taking a shower was also a challenge as there were no grab bars/handholds, and no anti slip protection on the floor of the tub. One had to be very careful to avoid slipping and falling in the narrow tub. Then getting out of the wet tub without the benefit of handholds was potentially dangerous. My wife elected to pass on the shower during our short stay due to the tub hazzards.

The location is fine, and the staff were welcoming. Iceland is very expensive, and by UK standards, the room rate is high, and our room was only adequate . Comfortable bed, but nowhere to put stuff, small bathroom, with little space for stuff. Semi-blocked sink. The breakfast, charged at about £30 each, is served in a large dark room that resembles a mausoleum, the eggs and bacon were cold, the baked beans were hot. The reception desk was overwhelmed by large groups of visitors. Overall, we don’t think this all amounts to a great stay, and we’ll check out alternatives when we next visit.

Excellent location

Small room, horrible courtyard view, very poor overwatch shower. Terrible but expensive breakfast

Wonderfully restored Art Deco property perfectly located in center of city, close to Old Port, Concert Hall and many restaurants.

Happy that we went with Hotel Borg as our home base for Iceland trip. Great location, central to both harbor and city sites. Easy access to joining tours outside Reykjavik. Nice, reasonably-priced breakfast buffet. Relaxing spa area. Would definitely stay here again on another Iceland trip.

We only stayed 2 nights but found the location perfect for visiting the various restaurants and bars in the city core. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. Will definitely recommend to others.

Nice spacious room, near downtown across the street from a small park. Lots of nearby restaurants and shopping.
