Kvosin Downtown Hotel

Nice and cozy hotel in a central location in Reykjavík - be careful where you park if you drive your own car

Small hotel in the center of town walking distance to the harbor and museums. Our room had a queen size bed and a pullout sofa, great for families. The bed is separated by a wall from the living room with the sofa. Staff made the sofa for us. Each person had his/her own duvet blanket. The view from the room was of a courtyard with grass and flowers, beautiful and bright. There is light out until midnight but there are blackout curtains if you want to sleep earlier. The hotel has coffee and croissants by the front desk. There are also drinks and snacks for purchase. There is a place next door with breakfast food. There is a supermarket called Krónan 7 minute walk from the hotel. We arrived early and the hotel saved our luggage. There are ear plugs in the room by the bed. I was worried about noise at night. A couple of windows were open and when I closed them the room was quiet. There is a kitchen counter with a cooling drawer, no freezer or microwave, but there is a stove and kitchen items, and a Nescafé machine. There is a bench and a shelving unit to use for luggage. I did not care for the bathroom situation. There is a small room with a toilet and a sink, only one person can use the sink. There is a separate room with walk in shower, water temperature kept on changing. There are walking tours that leave from the courtyard by the hotel. We took a tour with CityWalk and our guide Sarah was entertaining. When you head to the airport you have the option of taking a public bus to the airport for $20/person, kids 12-17 are half price and under 11 are free. The bus stop is a 15 minute walk from the hotel at a bus terminal. The walk is pleasant along a pond, but the pavement is uneven. The ride takes one hour and 12 minutes. The bus seems to leave once every hour at the 15 after the hour. We had a pleasant stay and I recommend this hotel especially since it is harder to find hotel rooms that accommodate families where you have room to spread out.

A great hotel right near the centre of Reykjavik and a couple of minutes from bus stop #1 Lovely staff, great room - our room was “Cosy” but was very spacious with a lovely outdoor terrace, kitchenette and fridge drawer. Lovely shower room with lovely toiletries. The continental breakfast was included in our booking rate, and was extensive, with fruit, cereals, yogurt, breads, pastries, cooked meat and cheeses and scrambled egg and bacon, and pancakes. You can take food into your room, or get takeaway delivered, and the hotel is happy to notify you of deliveries. Would definitely recommend

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The rooms were large enough to accommodate two people and were within walking distance of many stores and restaurants and two two bus stops that we walked to for our tours and a ride out to the Blue Lagoon. We would recommend staying here anytime we are in Iceland.

Such a cute boutique hotel. We stayed here prior to our cruise. The hotel’s location is perfect for walking to shopping and restaurants. It’s 10 minutes from the port. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were comfortable. They have a great bar for drinks, and the breakfast is very good as well. I would stay here again if I came back.
