The house is fantastic. Very nicely decorated with all amenities. Beautiful view of Reykjavik and a convenient drive to all of its sights. The owner Sigi is very welcoming and helpful. Can't ask for anything more!

The owner and staff were very accommodating and extremely helpful. They also went out of their way to make sure any questions we had were answered. Parking was free, great complimentary breakfast. Property is about a 40 minute drive from the airport, 15 min walk from the center of town. They really care about their business here. Support local small businesses. They truly care.

I had the most enjoyable stay at Eyja Guldsmeden! A very clean hotel with excellent service! The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the location of the hotel is very convenient. Special thanks to Laura who was super nice and helpful with dining recommendations! Will be back!

The property was beautiful. Updated, and the staff is very friendly. There was no parking, so that got a little pricey if you wanted to park close to the hotel, but I think that’s the norm in Reykjavík. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to Iceland.

I had a great experience at this hotel. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. The rooms were elegant, comfortable and cozy. The breakfast buffet each morning was fabulous with lots to choose from, including smoked salmon, local cheese and fresh bread made at the bakery next door.
I was able to book a Golden Circle Tour and a day at the Sky Lagoon at the front desk, a very convenient service. For the Golden Circle Tour, the front desk staff recommended a small tour company with...

I booked our property on a whim and found out it was ON rainbow Row! How cool! It was so convenient. The view of the cathedral was epic. We were so tired, but sleeping was difficult because the foyer light never went off, we could never find the switch. And, the noise from the road and people coming out of the bars went on until 5:30 am😳

The Canopy was a wonderful place to stay. The hotel is beautiful and the staff were all helpful and friendly. It’s located in a spot that is within walking distance to just about everything in Reykjavik. I’d definitely go back!

These apartments are very centrally located - convenient to dining, shopping, grocery and attractions.
The apartment itself was absolutely lovely - clean, well decorated, included basics like Salt & Pepper, coffee as well as niceties, like bathrobes. Our host graciously upgraded us from a studio to a one bedroom that was available and we had plenty of space - which was great for the final pack to fly home the next day.
It was really nice to have off street parking and a lovely balcony.

Loved staying in this property! We arrived at 5 am and went by the building around 9 to see if it was ready, and it was! With three kids, i cannot explain how amazing this was! The apartment was clean, beds smelled good, felt comfortable, heat amazing. Spacious 2 br with adequate seating. The laundry was a little hard to operate but was able to use it. Code to open it is 1432 and its written in the elevator. We rented a car and had plenty of street parking each day wout problems. Some people...

We took a chance on this hotel as there were no reviews yet, and couldn't have been happier. It's brand new, the staff was super nice, and the location was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Best breakfast ever! Really liked that our room had a small window that could be opened. We had a car so location wasn’t a problem but without your own transportation the location would not be convenient.
