20. ION City Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

Downtown Reykjavik, 1.7 km from University of Iceland

"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Ion City Hotel. Great central location on the main pedestrian street in the middle of Reykjavík. The hotel’s central location made for convenient access to the sites, restaurants, bars, etc. The front desk staff was very helpful with recommendations, getting us a taxi, etc. Our international flight arrived early morning. Once our room was cleaned and ready they allowed us to check in early. Would definitely stay at the Zion City again."

Top University of Iceland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Von

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the heart of Reykjavik. Good size room. Easy access to rooms. Easy access to stairs. Restaurant looked good. Clean property."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to everything in city. Many restaurants . Property felt like home!"

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Family of three stayed in a room with a room with a bed plus sofa bed. There was plenty of room for the three of us and our suitcases. Two of us enjoyed the sauna. Robes and towels were provided for all 3 which was nice and showers were also available in the gym area. We paid extra for the breakfast which was the best during our stay. The staff was very nice ! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

Hotel Reykjavik Centrum

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable hotel with helpful stay. Thank you."

Radisson Blu 1919 Hotel, Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were always helpful and polite"

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Emma at the front desk went well above to make sure we enjoyed our stay. She made sure our room was well away from the large tour groups also using the facility. Indeed, we hardly noticed the other guests. She also made sure our spa and massage reservations were correct, even changing one to accomodate our changing schedule.. On another day, I stopped to ask where to find an odd size coin battery and the receptnist turned in her seat and said, "you mean like this?" And handed me the correct battery, she then declined to charge me for it. It didn't stop there as the bar, restaurant and housekeeping staff all went above and beyond to be helpful. The spa facilities were very relaxing with two separate hot tubs, a sauna and first class massage therapy services. Tour busses have difficulty navigating the narrow city streets, so there is an organized tour bus stop, #17, a very short walk away, in front of the Maratime Museum, a gateway to the wonders of the far north country. In summary, highly recommended."

Fosshotel Reykjavik

"Well located and great views."

CityHub Reykjavik

"It was in a very accessible location, and the staff was great! I would definitely stay there again."

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

8/10 Good

"Overall happy with the stay. We had some inconvenience due to their parking area is on renovation. We are being asked to park bit far in a grocery store parking lot. We couldn’t bring our luggage to the room due to the distance,other than that no issues, I am assuming that’s a temporary problem. I would recommend this place."
