Hotel Odinsve

Nice location. Basic room that was larger than expected for the city.

Late night to early morning shift front desk personnel was very helpful. Large bathroom with good shower.

Stayed here 4 nights in late May, quaint little hotel (still uses keys for room doors), very walkable to all of the tourist areas of downtown Reykjavik. Staff was very accommodating. We opted for the included breakfast which was great value given Reykjavik’s sometimes pricey restaurants. Our room was showing some signs of needing an update and there was a shelf over the bathroom sink that would not let a person shave or brush teeth over the sink without the shelf in the way, minor annoyance. We ate at the French themed on site restaurant one night (where the breakfast is served) and it was solid and there is a lively little outdoor café/bar, right across the street.

location was great. parking was inconvenient but staff was helpful in their knowledge of parking tiers. close to shops, eating and sights. room was spacious and i loved the balcony and view.

Property is located in a very convenient location. Walkable to shopping and dining areas. Also stop # 8 is 5 minutes walk from the hotel, where our pick up of Golden circle and blue lagoon excursion took place. Only one thing is missing in the hotel is shower rooms in the bathroom. They are very small and inconvenient. Rest of the thing’s are great. Hotel staff are very supportive and helping. Food at the hotel restaurant was good. Overall is good. Location wise definitely I recommend this hotel.

The facility is nice. The bathroom was on the smaller side. Shower is tight. Toilet area is tight. The room was on the hot side and they have no A/C. If you want to stay cool you have to keep the window open. There is an outdoor bar across the street from the hotel which is extremely noisy. Keeping the window open makes it hard to sleep with all the noise. They should warn about this. Also there is only paid street parking available. You will have to walk several blocks to get to the hotel after parking your vehicle.

We’ve stayed at this hotel before and had an amazing experience, which is why we chose to return. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. The room initially assigned to us was extremely small, and the bathroom was so cramped you couldn’t even turn around. Reception did accommodate our request to change rooms, which turned out to be the only positive aspect of our stay. The real issue came when we returned to the hotel around 13:00 to find our room hadn’t been cleaned. This has happened to us before in both Europe and the U.S., and the standard response is usually an apology and quick action. Instead, the receptionist was shockingly disrespectful, he refused to look at me while I spoke, kept staring at his screen, and dismissed everything I said. He flatly refused to contact housekeeping and told us we could either wait in the lobby until 15:00 or skip cleaning entirely if we went to the room. When I asked for help, he coldly replied that check-ins took priority and that they wouldn’t “tell housekeeping how to do their job.” He even said that since they had changed our room at check-in, we now “owed them” patience. I was traveling with my elderly father, who ended up falling asleep in the lobby from exhaustion. We waited 1.5 hours before being told our room was ready. Customer care was completely lacking. We stayed for a week, and breakfast was exactly the same every day with no variation. We left very disappointed and won’t be returning.

The shower in this room was not shown in any photos it was a shower curtain on a tiny platform that flooded the entire bathroom everytime someone showered. The beds were also uncomfortable. If you need to save money it’s ok for a night or two but otherwise I would avoid. Positive is the location is good but parking is paid by the hour.

Wonderful location close to local businesses. The price was very reasonable. The reception staff were very helpful.

Bed was comfortable, room was small but adequate. Pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable, should be replaced. Convenient to shopping. Adjacent restaurant was excellent.
