The location puts you near Laugavegur's shops, and the hotel's focus on organic food feels like a real commitment.

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Eyja is often described as having a lovely, rustic style with wooden details and a personal touch, setting it apart from chain hotels. Guests frequently highlight the comfortable beds, modern shower rooms, and the convenience of free parking. While many find the location near the main shopping area ideal, some guests have noted that the walk to the downtown area can be around 15-20 minutes, and others have experienced noise from hallway activity.

Wonderful Stay

free coffeecity landmarks
The complimentary tea and coffee were very convenient. The hotel is within walking distance of many city landmarks, shopping areas, and restaurants.
The staff, they were unfriendly and impersonal. They didn't greet you as you arrived back to the hotel nor say bye on the way out. They didn't smile or ask how your day had been. There was no personal interaction at all. We asked a few questions about the northern lights and lagoons and whilst our basic question was answered they didn't offer any extra information and didn't seem to care either way about their guests. A real let down. Also the waiter at breakfast was transferring some food over to new dishes at the buffet with his bare hands. If you want nice friendly personal helpful interactions with staff this is not the hotel for you!

the room was nice and well appointed. free parking was a huge plus for me. i found it convenient to the main shopping street. its location, though at the opposite end to harbor area, proved useful.
the noise isolation was poor. i was woken up by staff who were hoovering the hallways. they were talking in the corridors, as well.
