We loved the location - just down the street from many restaurants & shops. The hotel was on the older side, but clean & staff was friendly. The only tricky part was parking.

Loved our stay at the Hotel Holt for our first visit to Iceland. The staff was very thoughtful and helped us celebrate daughter’s birthday as a surprise! Good size rooms. Very walkable to attractions and downtown. Giving four stars only because the coffee machine didn’t work.
Anima, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location with short walk to the heart of Reykjavik on Laugavegur. Quite neighborhood. Easy parking. Not a chain, but an original, local hotel. Beautiful Icelandic art work throughout hotel and rooms.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, clean place, the breakfast was super good as well.
Daniel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We spent our last 2 nights in Iceland here. This hotel is right in downtown Reykjavik, easy walking to all the shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. The room itself was very comfortable. We had a suite, so our daughter had the sofa bed all to herself, while we had a separate bedroom. The breakfast was AMAZING, even included a tsp of cod liver oil, which brought me back to my childhood! Free private parking for guests was a plus.
