Room was very hot. There was only a tiny window and no fan, the only way to get any airflow was to leave the curtain open which in summer means allowing 20+ hours of sunlight
Great if exploring Iceland in a car. Otherwise 40 min walk to the city centre of Reykjavik. Virtual check in and check out with a helpline if needed. Clean and spacious room. Shower doesn’t smell great but believe this is common in Iceland.

Room was really nice.
Looks like they are currently remodeling and doing upgrades to the floors and stairwell.
Area is very quiet.
Room could be darker so if you need absolute darkness find additional means.
Never had the breakfast so can't comment.
Wish they had a phone for the guests to use somewhere to call them as there is no staff.
Had a room mixup, where the room I was old I had, was not the room I was assigned.
Once I got a hold of the using a locals phone, was resolved very quickly.
Clean and nice, but no change of towels.
No staff present. Digital communications only.
Not close to city centre, but lots of restaurants nearby. Overall a pleasent stay.

Clean modern room but VERY tiny sink so washing anything more than your hands results in water down your front and on the floor. No shelf or even a single hook to place toiletries or towels on in the bathroom. Sadly someone chose design over functionality. Room did include a fridge, kettle, coffee maker and mugs & glasses. Also no elevator and stairs and hallways are filthy and missing the carpeting. Good space in room for stowing gear. So some very good features and some aspects poor; hence the average over all rating.
We booked 5 rooms for 2 nights
- intense mould smell in one of the rooms made it unlivable. The person had to find another place to stay.
- The 4 other rooms were quite ok inside.
Requested refund for one of the rooms but still no confirmation.
Also, hallway and staircase was raw concrete and looked like a building site. No warnings or notifications that the hotel is undergoing renovation, so just have to assume this is how they plan to keep it. The hallway by itself, would have prevented us from booking here.
I would not stay here.

We didn’t take the breakfast option. We took advantage of an in-room refrigerator. Overall, the apartment was adequate. The beds were comfortable. There is no sink in the food prep area, only a sink in the bathroom. There are no towel racks. The floor was not swept. The sofa set was very dirty, to the point of being able to smell food or oils on it. There is a really good restaurant next door, Ginger- healthy, tasty choices. Open 11-8. We walked to a gym to use their spa services. And maybe the biggest perk is that the Arctic Comfort Hotel is a stop on the bus pick up for tours and getting to the airport. If you’re not fussy, this is a convenient place to stay.
First, we had trouble getting into the hotel. There is no physical staff on the property. They email you with a code to get into the front door and the same code opens your room door. Ours didn’t work. I phoned them to help us get in. The gentleman who answered was very pleasant and helpful.
We got in the building. It must be under renovation because the floors are not finished and looked like a construction zone.
The room was fine and finished. The bathroom had a huge heavy glass door, an extremely small sink and an equally small waste basket. The beds were comfortable.
Overall, we liked the room. It is close to shops and about a 10 minute drive to the church and area.
READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE BOOKING! Its a self serve hotel with no staff on site, if you can believe that. In 40+ years of booking lodging I had never heard of such a thing. No information was posted at the entrance and no one answered repeated knocking. Never made it inside so I can't comment on that, but the outside was not clean. It reminded me of walking by a skid row like establishments. We had to find another hotel, fortunately we found a reliable establishment with actual staff present. It was clean and comfortable inside and out, was reasonably priced and include an excellent breakfast each morning. When I contacted the Arctic Comfort for a refund, I was told to read the fine print in the confirmation email. Sure enough there it was, my bad for assuming it was a real hotel. There are too many trustworthy establishments in Reykjavík to bother with this place. Stay away!

I like the place but the room was cold and the breakfast wasn’t as good as I expected. Poor breakfast and it didn’t have a flat iron.

The room did not match the pictures. While we were eating dinner another family gained access to our room which was very unsettling. We were unsure where to park. Beds were very hard and expected our additional bed was a pull out couch but it was a very uncomfortable cot.
There were many problems encountered with the hotel room here. The lights would not work when attempting to turn them on. The TV would randomly turn on at different points in the night, and it would play Chinese shows. The hallways smell very bad. The staff was unresponsive.
