Just got back yesterday from our 2nd trip to Iceland and stayed four nights at this hotel. Excellent central location and if your lucky your room will have a view of the striking landmark church opposite. The is an additional block of rooms just across the road from the main hotel. Modest, but clean rooms. Small bathroom with toilet, shower... More

The Hotel Leifur Eiriksson is a wonderfully run hotel. It is in a perfect location for walking around Reykjavik. The rooms are very spacious, (we had a huge double bed). Be prepared for a very tiny bathroom area. There are no bathtubs in the hotel so all bathrooms contain a shower. The water gets extremely hot and provides good shower... More

Stayed 3 nights at end of April 2012 on a deal with Icelandair. Cannot fault the hotel. After earlier comments on this site re top floor rooms/ annexe rooms etc, we e-mailed the hotel to ask for a first or second floor room facing the church, and they duly obliged with Room 202, which was ideal. Bathroom small as per... More

You spend a lot of time out on trips, so just need somewhere to rest your head.Breakfast is wussicient and free tea, coffee or juice for 24 hours a real bonus. Rooms are small but clean. Staff very friendly and helpful.... More

Stayed here at the end of March 2012 for 5 nights & overall I rate my stay well & would contemplate returning to this establishment. Reception/staff: The staff were all very friendly and willing to help. They will book excursions & your return coach transfer to the airport for you also. Location: An excellent location - some say THE location... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in April 2012. We emailed ahead and asked for 2 double rooms in the main building facing the church and on arrival that is what we got. Fantastic views of the church. The rooms where clean and beds very comfortable. Bathrooms were small but usable. For how much time we spent in... More

Just got back from a 3 night stay at this hotel which was booked as part of an Icelandair package. The hotel is in a prime location directly opposite the church with views to the snowcapped mountains in the background. On our arrival we were allocated two double rooms on the 2nd floor at the front of the hotel with... More

On Icelandair package and was pretty impressed with this hotel considering the price we paid. The bad points - the toilet is tiny and had a smell of damp, the room key was a bit temperamental and the curtains didn't keep out the light that well. The good points - we were in room 313 and had a perfect view... More
