Alva Hotel

Stayed 2 nights here. The blackout curtains was a blessing given 20hours of sunshine. Easy checkin and good communication.

Modern, clean and comfortable beds

Very good hotel and spacious room!!! Great lighting of the room! Very clean!! Thank you!!!

Was exactly what we were looking for. It’s outside of the downtown area but still close. Lots of food options nearby and pool is close too! Could have been a bit cleaner. And when it advertised “kitchenette” (with photos of a small kitchen) I expected more the. Just a fridge and coffee maker that didn’t work well and kettle. I had been expecting a microwave or toaster oven so we could make simple meals. Not a big deal just was a disappointment. Room was also not the cleanest. There was a few items left from previous residents. The unit could use a few repairs there was clear old water damage and parts of the bathroom looked a bit rougher

Comfortable beds and nice bathroom .

Cheap but nice .. had the tours pick us up right across the street.

Great hotel for the price close to downtown, easy food, some cool shops, and super comfortable beds in a nice space. The shower was pretty nice too!

Nice area Not far from downtown Easy off street parking

Use of the key code for hotel and room entry is awesome.

A staffless hotel with quick responses from them by email. I still have a couple of things to point out. First of all, the code they provided me with in the first place before I arrived did not work for the entrance, so I wouldn't be able to get in until a guest in the lobby opened the door for me. That said, if no guests were in the lobby when I arrived, I could be exposed to the strong wind in Reykjavik for hours, which happened to me the second day, because the code did not work. According to the receptionist, there's only one code for the main entrance and my room, but in my case, two different codes were required!!! Their cleaning staff verified this. Second of all, although the cleaning staff physically present were super friendly, the room wasn't quite clean, I saw garbage left behind the headboard of my bed. Third of all, the washroom fan was so loud that I wasn't able to fall asleep unless I put my earplugs on. True, they offered me another room opposite from mine, but that happened one day after I emailed them and when I was trying to access that room with the code they gave me my last day there, the code did NOT work!!!!!! Another thing, just bad luck, my room faced a construction site, so the strong wind outside the hotel made the cloth covering at the construction site flap around like crazy. It was sooooooo noisy.
