Room is smaller, but the view and location are an amazing deal for the price of the rooms. Staff was great and super responsive with questions since we had never been to Iceland. I would stay here again!

The location is excellent. Our window looked out at Hallgrímskirkja and you can walk everywhere. The room had some quirks that were mildly annoying: the bathroom light/fan made a loud buzzing noise; the open shower concept left a wet floor to the rest of the bathroom; there was no fridge etc. But the staff were friendly and accommodating. The bed was super comfortable and the comforter was dreamy soft and warm. Overall, a great option.

This was the tiniest room but with the most amazing view of Hallgrimskirja. The breakfast was good. The front desk attendant was extremely nice and he offered to help us tote our luggage up to the fourth floor. He also answered all our questions about the area.

Location is great. Fact that the TV did not work and the staff did not attempt to help past saying we’ll make a call and never following up was disappointing. Also the water smelled bad. No other hotel(s) in Iceland that I’ve visited had smelly water.

Hotel rating in Expedia was very high , hence I went by that . Size of bathroom was so so compact that shower curtain would stick while taking shower , and lighting was horrible - I felt I lived in dark room . Bed was so small I felt I would fall down while sleeping ! I would have never went for this hotel if Expedia rating was not misleading :( as it was non refundable , I could not change hotel !

My recent stay at Hotel Leifur EirikssonHotel was a delightful blend of comfort, convenience, and exceptional service. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming staff whose attentiveness set the tone for a memorable experience. The check-in process was swift and efficient, thanks to the helpful front desk team who ensured that all my needs were promptly addressed. Throughout my stay, their friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made me feel right at home. One of the standout features of Hotel Leifur Eiriksson was its immaculate cleanliness. From the lobby to the corridors and, most importantly, the guest rooms, every corner exuded a sense of freshness and hygiene. It was evident that the housekeeping staff took great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, which contributed significantly to my overall comfort and satisfaction. The hotel's location was also a major plus, offering convenient access to all attractions, dining options, and transportation hubs. Whether I was exploring the city or simply seeking a quiet retreat, Hotel Leifur Eiriksson provided the perfect base for my adventures. However, one aspect that slightly detracted from an otherwise excellent experience was the temperature in the room. While the accommodations were impeccably clean and well-appointed, I found them to be a bit chilly, especially during the nights.
