Excellent property for a stay in Reykjavik. Stayed here for 3 nights after spending 11 days driving the country & living out of a camper van with two other adults. The bed was so comfy & soft & gave the rest my body needed. In those three days I was able to walk almost the entire city footprint during the day as it’s centrally located & the city is very pedestrian friendly. Good eating nearby as well, highly recommend fitting a meal in at Old Icelandic just down the road. Breakfast was delicious & had great local options. Staff were lovely & kind

This property is great and in a fantastic location. However, the street it is on doesn't allow cars! So be prepared to park on another street or in a garage and carry your luggage several blocks.

Loved the hotel. The staff was amazing, the rooms were clean and amenities were great. Perfectly located, just be mindful that your taxi will not drop you off right in front of the hotel as the location is in a pedestrian street.

Nice hotel
Hotel was clean and located in an area that was close to shops and restaurants-only thing about this is at night it is noisy since you must open windows to cool down and air room out.

Stay in a warm hotel in Iceland
Front desk service is very good, giving guide to sightseeing, responding to requests and questions efficiently. Good breakfast, clean room and environment. My husband needs to take medicines with warm water, I asked for a water container for hot water, the front desk girl offered us a bottle, very caring to help out, thank you. I also asked for wake up call for our early flight, the gentleman called at 6:00am. Everything was well done!

Quality hotel in excellent location
We enjoyed our 5 night stay in a junior suite. The accommodations were excellent and the staff were great from the early check in for our room to the daily service. The breakfast is good and there is plenty to choose. The location of the hotel along a major pedestrian and shopping street is also a great bonus. Easy walk to the downtown area and major attractions in the city.

The Sand Hotel was a wonderful place in a great location of Reykjavik. The rainbow road and church were right around the corner and the street of the sand hotel was full of restaurants and shops. The staff was super helpful with transportation needs such as booking bus tickets and calling taxis. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was delicious and super fresh! Overall, this was a wonderful stay!! Could not recommend more :)
