This is the second time I have stayed at the Sand Hotel in Reykjavik. It is a great hotel in the best location in the city! The room are pretty simple, but I don't need anything fancy; I would say that they are looking a little beat up and could use some touch-up painting on the trim, but that is about all. The included breakfast is wonderful! Overall a very nice European style hotel in the heart of an amazing city!

We really loved our stay at the Sand Hotel. The room was quiet and perfect for the two of us. The breakfast was sublime. We even tried their next door bakery outside of breakfast hours. Definitely give that a try too. The only downside to the Sand Hotel was parking. We were tired after our flight and did not prepare for parking. That added a little stress to our visit. So, plan ahead, understand the parking options, and you’ll be in good shape.

Was a great hotel. Pretty close to everything. Staff has helpful maps for street parking if you have a car. Breakfast was very good, and probably saves you a lot of $$ eating at the hotel. Elevator was broken on our way out, but we were able to carry our bags down the stairs.

Everything abou this hotel was great! Room was small, but expect that in Europe, but we were surprised at the lack of storage. Pretty much just a small area to hang clothes and a shelf underneath you can put your suitcase and just take your cothes from there. The breakfast was very good...no hot options, but we knew that. The location is amazing, right in the middle of the pedestrian street.

Fantastic location as it was central and within easy walking distance to the bus stop and station. Room was quiet, clean and bed was comfortable. Facilities for making a morning coffee available in the room which is always an added bonus first thing on waking. Breakfast was varied but missed having something hot! Staff were welcoming and friendly. Reception staff were really helpful too.
