- Denise (8/5): - Zentrale Lage und freundliche Mitarbeiter :-) -
- Bettina (9/5): Hübsches Hotel an toller zentraler Lage - Super Lage, sehr schönes und gemütliches grosses Zimmer mit kleinem Wohnzimmer/Küche. Bequeme Betten und gute Abdunklung. -
- Silvia (7/5): - das Hotel ist sehr schön, das Zimmer grosszügig jedoch das Bettsofa EXTREM unbequem - selbst für Kinder! ACHTUNG!!! DAS HOTEL HAT KEINE PARKPLÄTZE DIE PARKPLÄTZE DIREKT BEIM HOTEL SIND KOSTENPFLICHTIG UND NUR FÜR 3H NUTZBAR - ANSONSTEN MUSS MAN SELBST EINEN ÖFFENTLICHEN PARKPLATZ IN REYKJAVIK SUCHEN DIE ANGABEN AUF BOOKING SIND FEHLERHAFT! (wir empfinden das als unfairer Vorteil gegenüber anderen Unterkünften, denn wir brauchten einen Parkplatz und haben den Filter entsprechend gesetzt...)
- STELLA (9/5): -
- Artem (10/5): - Уютный, красивый отель. Отличная локация. Дешево Завтрак слабенький, нету спа

- Urška (9/5): -
- Luanne (9/5): Highly recommend this hotel because it was lovely to have a couch and small kitchen - This was a great location near all the downtown restaurants but the bonus was that we were on a side street so it was quiet I was disappointed that the bar/restaurant was closed
- Elizabeth (10/5): Great inner city stay with good ambiance! - Lovely family setting The shower linked to one bedroom.
- Chunhua (10/5): 超出预期!完美! - 房间布置很漂亮!厨房可以简单烹饪,非常方便!位置优越!总之很舒适!
- Barbara (10/5): Super Ort für einen netten unkomplizierten Reykjavík Trip 🤩 - Tolle Lage und sehr sympathisch ausgestattetes Hotel 👌🏻
- Nils (8/5): Joli hôtel mais nuit gâchée par les cloches de l’église à proximité. - Hôtel très propre, confortable et staff adorable. Église à proximité qui sonne toutes les 15min, très difficile de dormir…
- Alison (7/5): - Very good location, big room. The room was a little sparse. No kettle although teabags provided .

- Vlad (8/5): -
- Sanya (9/5): Zentrale Lage mit Charme - Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, sodass alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar ist, und auch zahlreiche Lokale in der Nähe sind bequem zu erreichen; unser über 30 m² großes Apartmentzimmer hat uns von der Größe sehr gefallen, lediglich die Couch im Wohnzimmer war nicht besonders bequem, ansonsten war alles sehr gut ausgestattet, inklusive Geschirr, und hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Das Hotel verfügt über keine eigenen Parkplätze, allerdings kann man in etwa zehn Minuten Fußweg entfernt kostenlos parken. Der Flughafen liegt in der Nähe, sodass man die Flugzeuge deutlich hört, was für empfindliche Personen störend sein kann, für uns war es jedoch kein Problem; das Frühstück war im Verhältnis sehr teuer, fast 30 Euro pro Person, sodass sich 60 Euro für zwei Personen bei wenig Appetit kaum lohnen.

- Tamasin (8/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): Will definitely return - Excellent location, comfortable room and friendly staff. Parking was very easy on the street so don’t worry about that. Nothing
- Lince83 (9/5): -
- Laura (8/5): - Very much in the centre of town! Very noisy people in the apartment above.
- Aurélie (10/5): - Merci aux deux personnes à l’accueil qui ont rendu ce séjour incroyable. Nous avions un soucis avec nos valises et elles nous ont aidés à trouver une solution.
- Victoria (8/5): Perfect city centre stay - We stayed in a ‘junior suite’ and it was perfect for the one night. Toiletries, fluffy towels and robes were are nice touch. Fab style.
- Amelie (10/5): A perfect stay -
- Go609662 (10/5): Great hotel and location. Fantastic concierge. - Our stay at Kvosin was fantastic. The room was modern, clean and accommodated the four of us (mom, dad and older teens) perfectly. The rooms were warm - very nice given the very winterly weather - and especially nice were the warm bathroom floors. The breakfast was varied and delicious and the location is great: close to the main shopping streets and to Bus Stop #1. The BEST part was working with Anna Maria, the concierge/front desk attendant during most of our stay. Our original trip schedule was not possible due to weather conditions, but Anna Maria was delightful and so helpful in answering questions and helping make arrangements. What a gem!
- Nathalie (10/5): - Perfekte Lage, freundlieches Personal und sehr gemütliche Zimmer mit bequemen Betten. Sofort wieder.
- melvin (9/5): -
- Elisa (9/5): - Stanza bellissima, posizione centrale, ma tranquilla, pulito e personale gentile. Buona anche la colazione. L'unica nota meno positiva è il divano letto della camera, che era molto scomodo. I letti invece erano comodi.
- Michele (8/5): - Great location. Unique room.
- jeanettewT6773SD (10/5): Good location in downtown Reykjavik - Warm and friendly staff, they were able to accomodate an early check in request. It was very close to Bus Stop 1 and many nearby eateries and shopping areas nearby.
The room itself was spacious and clean. I liked having the separate eating area with cutlery and dishes included - very convenient to bring food back and then have a place to eat afterwards. Very comfortable. Loved the heated towel warmers.
My room faced the church and every quarter hour, the bell would chime. Not super loud and it didn't keep me from sleeping. I found it pleasant. I also liked how each room had a story to go with it.
- Juliane (10/5): -
- emmanuelle (9/5): Un hôtel incroyable je recommande - Emplacement Incroyable, qualité , confort
- Emanuela (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): Great location, friendly staff and well-equipped rooms. - The receptionist was lovely and welcoming. The room was spacious and adequate, well equipped with a kitchenette. Both practical and well designed. Warm when first walking in which is always a bonus to escape the cold. Breakfast was amazing with lots on offer from traditional bacon, eggs, bread and bagels to overnight oats, fruit and yoghurts - this really set us up for the day!
- Catherine (8/5): Hôtel très bien situé et suite spacieuse pour 3 personnes. -
- Élisabeth (10/5): Certainement le meilleur hôtel de Reykjavik - Bel hôtel lumineux situé au cœur de Reykjavik. Salon et cuisine dans l’hébergement.
- Synne (10/5): Wonderful, couldn’t had a better place and staff there for my stay. -
- GM (8/5): -
- Jenny (8/5): Great hotel, excellent beds and excellent location! - Very comfortable, excellent beds, excellent location, lots of space, brilliant staff! It comfortably fit our family of 5. The balcony was great too! The kitchen was well equipped. Not all the bedrooms had a door. One was open onto the kitchen/living area which was difficult in the evening to have kids sleeping there. That’s all!
- Klara (10/5): -
- Ana (10/5): Une escale parfaite, rien à redire. - L'emplacement est idéal et j'ai adoré la décoration intérieure. Rien.
- Alexey Bobylev (8/5): -
- Ingólfur (7/5): -
- ivan (9/5): -
- Greenaway (8/5): - A great location to access the whole of the Down Town and Harbour area. Great advice given for parking locations not too far from the Hotel. Everything was great
- Mary (10/5): Absolutely amazing - Can’t not recommend this hotel enough had a wonderful stay and I’m quite a picky person but it was amazing Nothing
- Roko (9/5): -
- Þorgerður (10/5): -
- Ramez (10/5): - Alles war zufriedenstellend
- María (10/5): -
- Nadine (6/5): Es war okay… - Sehr zentrale Lage und nettes Personal. Betten bequem. Ich hatte ein großes Zimmer daher auch genug Platz, mit einem kleinen Balkon. Es ist unfassbar hellhörig, jeden Abend und morgen hat es über mir geknallt, Man hört jeden Schritt und das hat mich extrem gestört. Was man wissen sollte, der lokale Flughafen liegt quasi als Einflugschneise hinter dem Hotel. Also ein wenig Lärm durch kleine Maschinen.
Das Frühstück habe ich mir nur angeschaut, aber ich mag Eier nicht aus der Packung. War nicht viel Auswahl.
- Bjarki (10/5): -
- jolanda (8/5): Prima in 't centrum - Grote ruime kamer met geweldige bedden. Lekker om zo t oude centrum in te lopen. Ondanks beschrijving op Booking géén restaurant. Door bijzondere indeling van het hotel heb je kans dat je op sommige plaatsten je koffers moet tillen (trapjes)

- Sarah (10/5): Fantastic stay! - We really enjoyed our stay in Kvosin Downtown Hotel. We also got a little upgrade to a bigger room with a kitchenette which was a lovely treat! It’s located in a great area - very close to the main street and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. It also felt like a very safe area. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Nothing!
- 430martinau (10/5): Great stay at a unique and lovely hotel - This was our group’s favourite stay during our time in Iceland (out of 3). The staff was very kind and welcoming, the hotel is unique and beautiful and the suites were spacious and charming.
The breakfast was tasty and had a lot of options. Our only minor issue was the lack of parking but we were able to find some a 3 minute walk away.
The location is incredible and allowed us to see a lot of downtown on foot in one day. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Reykjavik, especially those hoping to self cater to save money. The kitchenette was very handy.
- BERNARDO PEREIRA MASCARENHAS (8/5): All good - Very well located ! Good shower and comfortable bed The tv is old! Doesn’t have Netflix or any streaming
- 320h_kanm (8/5): Good breakfast and nice staff - The hotel is located very central and closed to a lot of restaurants and tourist attractions. We really liked the breakfast and the staff were nice and helpful.
- Muriel (10/5): - Très bon hôtel, les chambres sont grandes et il est très bien placé. Petit déjeuner parfait.
- Imro (9/5): -
- Stephen (8/5): Excellent - The only slight disappointment was the choice for breakfast compared to other similar establishments that we have experienced in Reykjavik. More choices
