Great location - very close to Bus Stop #8 which is a common pickup/drop location for most tour operators as well as walking distance to shopping district and other spots. Decent breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

The staff was kind and helpful. The rooms were cute and cozy with private bathrooms and good heating. The breakfast was nice to have, especially in an expensive city that opens late. The 24 hour access to coffee tea and hot chocolate in the lobby was really comforting to have, especially with jetlag and being awake at odd hours. The location and the hotel felt safe. The only potential downside is that the hotel is on a main street so people walking by constantly are noisy but that didn't bother me.
Really cute room amd cozy. Blackout curtains were a welcome touch.
View from the room. Great location. The church chimes are lovely.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Leifur Eiriksson. The room was perfect for a rest between sightseeing and the hotel was very conveniently located near a bus stop and multiple sights. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, providing recommendations. I also appreciated the coffee and tea available in reception. I would definitely stay here again!

The place was really convenient—centrally located and within walking distance of all the main spots. I mostly used it to store my things and get some rest since I spent most of my time on tours, and it worked perfectly for that.

Excellent staff, very nice breakfast, clean hotel, centrally located. Main complaint, really, is the lack of an elevator (difficult when arriving/leaving with heavy bags). Also, few tour operators pick up in that area for some reason. It's near a highly touristic area full of shops and restaurants, and that was nice. Would use it again.

It’s nice to be in the city close to so much. However the second building would be better with an elevator and the complimentary tea/ coffee available ( instead of walking across the street with a cup in hand)
