Loved our stay at the Hotel Holt for our first visit to Iceland. The staff was very thoughtful and helped us celebrate daughter’s birthday as a surprise! Good size rooms. Very walkable to attractions and downtown. Giving four stars only because the coffee machine didn’t work.

We spent our last 2 nights in Iceland here. This hotel is right in downtown Reykjavik, easy walking to all the shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. The room itself was very comfortable. We had a suite, so our daughter had the sofa bed all to herself, while we had a separate bedroom. The breakfast was AMAZING, even included a tsp of cod liver oil, which brought me back to my childhood! Free private parking for guests was a plus.

Lack luster dated hotel. Halls smell and look old. Room was fresh though. Horrible buffet breakfast with dry scrambled eggs and hot dogs.there are walkable options locally though. Snaps was nice. curtains didn’t cover the windows so we slept in the midnight sun. Paper thin walls. Much of the art is warped and yellowed. This was probably lovely back in the day.

The property was nice - I just had surgery on my shoulder and tripped really badly entering the hotel at 8:30 pm, the carpet matches the step which is very hard to see. This needs to be fixed or install a ramp. You have very old clientele inside. Breakfast solid - staff friendly, would come back again
