We enjoyed our stay in Reykjavik, it was a trip of a lifetime! Plenty of restaurants and wonderful bakeries. On a particular rainy day we went to the Flyover Iceland. Very well done and we totally enjoyed ourselves! We also went to the whale museum.

Other than the bus drivers, who were truly hit-or-miss, I found most people in Reykjavik friendly, if a bit more reserved. I felt very safe in the city and walked most of it every day. The Food Halls around town are pretty spectacular and affordable!

I enjoyed Reykjavik. I wish I was able to see a lot more of the nature and go outside of the city center. I did manage a spa visit to the Blue Lagoon, which I loved sooo much. I spent 7 hours there in the lagoon and enjoyed the Lava Restaurant, too.

Reykjavik is the perfect Winter long weekend break. Most popular tourist activities can be covered in a 4 day stay. Be aware it's dark until nearly 11am in early January. It's quite expensive to eat out but there are lots of good Happy Hour deals.

Absolutely loved the city! Very walkable, tons to see, great shopping and dining! Loved going to the museums, especially the Perlan. Enjoyed wandering and exploring on our own but walking with a guide would have been good, too! What a great place!

Reykavik is such a beautiful town. We went in February with a lot of snow and some icy sidewalks but using our snow boots and snow gear was great to walk around. Lots of restaurants and options for all. People were so nice and it's a safe town.

Lovely city to visit, recommend it to everyone. Many day trips available and an easy city to walk, very safe, many places to eat and drink. Lots of scenic beauty around it too, and a convenient bus service to get to places without a car.

A car is a must in Iceland to see everything. Long distances between amazing sights. 2 days in Reykjavik is enough. Take time to explore. Bring warm waterproof hiking clothes, even in August! Very expensive once in a lifetime trip.

Reykjavik was amazing. Great shopping and boutiques. It is worth noting however that all the busses are on the perimeter of the city and the centre is a hill so you need to walk at least 5-10 minutes to get into the centre.
"Our stay was absolutely AMAZING at Baron - it was our first time in Iceland. The hotel is centrally located to everything and it was easy for tour buses to pick up as well as being a block away from Bus stop #9 which is soooo convenient for all transportation/fly bus/tour buses to pick up/drop off. Everyone we interacted with in the hotel was amazing and helpful. It truly made our dream trip so much sweeter (our flights were cancelled and rebooked prior to our arrival) the Hotel team was A BLESSING to accommodate travel changes and plans due to the flight cancellations. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING STAY "
"We had a great stay at Midgardur. The location is excellent, easy walking distance to dozens of restaurants and shops. The Reykjavík Kitchen is across the street and was fantastic. Also steps away is a food hall inside a renovated bus station with many options including delicious pizza, beer and ice cream. Laugavegur is a quiet one way street and it’s an easy walk into the CBD.
We stayed 5 nights total, 2 in a standard room and 3 in a deluxe. The price difference for deluxe is definitely worth it. The standard room was tiny and hard to fit all of our luggage but the deluxe was huge by European standards.
We booked some nights through Expedia and some directly through the hotel. Booking direct gets you complimentary breakfast (otherwise 25 euros pp) and use of their spa. The breakfast was a large spread of fruit, pastries, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, yogurt, pickled herring, etc. If you don’t want to pay 25 euros, there are great cafes nearby and a fabulous bakery with a line out the door called Braud. The price on Expedia was lower.
The staff were very kind and helpful. We arrived at 9:30am and were able to check in around 12:30pm (early check-in is complimentary if you book direct; regular check in is at 2pm).
There is still ongoing construction next door and it was loud during the day.
There’s a fantastic laundromat (Laundromat Wash) a 10 minute walk; much cheaper than the hotel.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and highly recommend Midgardur.

"My friend and I were only there for a short time as we had an early departure at 3am in order to catch the airport bus. We enjoyed the time we had there. It was very close to restaurants and the bus to the airport was only a couple of minutes away. Would definitely recommend."
"I loved being on the water. Would have been really nice to have had an ocean view room. It was super close to downtown and the Main Street. The Hopp scooter is the best way to get around in the city without a lot of walking. I love Iceland and feel I’m 1% Icelandic now. It’s just such a beautiful country and so much to do and see. Even if it’s a scooter ride down the street to the houses and take a ride through the streets and see their homes as you scoot around. They are really beautiful and worth seeing. I can’t remember the price of the scooter services but let me tell you that they are worth every ISK lol can’t beat happy hour at the pubs. 999.00 ISK for a pint. That pretty good. Just order a few before last call and you’re good but I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that lol i got the Iceland AC/DC shirt. So sweet. Gotta check it it out if you’re a AC/DC fan. The sights outside of the city is up to you. I did the Blue Lagoon. The volcano area was closed off so that didn’t happen but the Blue Lagoon is just spectacular and so surreal. I’m not able to walk around as much so I went with the scooter trips and the Blue Lagoon. It just means I have to come back home to see them again and hopefully do the helicopter tour of the volcano and the possibility the tectonic plate scuba diving but definitely snowmobiling on the glacier. You can spend a summer in Iceland and still never see it all lol I miss it it so much. It made my life. I’ve never been so peaceful in my life.
