Convenient, but poor check in experience

Poor experience at check in. Arrived at a time when group came to check in and while the other front office staff was available, she never offered to check in other guests who were not part of the group. Once the group dispersed, she served other guests who had just walked in and not the ones who were already waiting.

Pretty Pingholt Hotel but not for older folks.

First of all let me say the staff at the Pingholt Hotel was fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. Especially, Hellena who was quite charming and helpful. Also the Breakfast Buffet was quite nice with a nice variety of dishes and all very fresh. Though it can be crowded at times. We chose the Pingholt because of its location right in the Old Town District of Reykjavik, and because of all the pretty pictures we saw on their website and on Hotels.com. However Pictures can be deceiving. The hotel prides itself as a “Boutique” hotel, which we found out in their case means, very low beds (about 14 inches off the floor) making it very difficult for our mid to late 70’s bodies to get in and out of bed. The beds were comfortable though. The bath had no counter space for meds, toiletries, cosmetics, etc. We ended up using the ledge of the bathtub as a counter. The shower curtain of the open shower does not extend to the floor, so needless to say water flows out onto the floor. Though the lighting was better than many of the hotels we have been in lately, it was somewhat glary from some unusual fixtures on the ceiling and especially on the desk, it did no good at all on the desk. The safe is situated about 6 and a half feet off the ground makes it a challenge for those height impaired. So if you are young and able and traveling light this is a very nice hotel. If you are older and prefer a bed about chair height the Pingholt has some disadvantages. Pingholt and Hot

The hotel was very convenient for exploring Reykjavik. The room was very small and the furnishings were a little old and worn. The breakfast buffet was pretty disappointing, especially compared to the other hotels we stayed at. The food was subpar and not a great variety.

The breakfast was good and the serving staffs were excellent. The guy greeted us at the reception desk was very helpful. However, on the day we were leaving and asked the woman at the front desk to book two 7-passenger cars. She didnt pay attention and requested for two sedans. After several reconfirmation and 30 minutes waiting at the door, she finally said there are no 7 passengers cars anymore. She and her colleague's attitude was very poor. At the end, we ended up using several taxis, and long and behold, the last one was a 7 passenger mini van! Overall, we had good experience with the hotel, until the last day. It was ruined by these two women working at the front desk on 8/8/25.

Beware! This hotel will bump you to another hotel without any notice ahead of time. It’s a terrible experience but I had no choice but to accept the change. I travelled with a group of friends and all bookings are confirmed and they even send a welcome email reminder 2 days ahead. Regretfully, on the first day when I checked in the receptionist told me that they have no room for me in that hotel and ‘upgraded’ me to another hotel. I told them I need to stay with my friends in this hotel because the tour bus will pick us up there. They just said bluntly that there’s nothing they can do. To make long story short, they finally agreed to give me a room for the second night. So i ended up checking in to the other hotel around 9 pm for the first night, get up 6 am the next morning, packed my bags, and hustled back to Thingholt to catch my tour bus. Also, it’s not a ‘upgrade’, the other hotel room is old and stinky. It’s a chaotic and stressful experience. There’s definitely a management problem for overbooking and that is no way to treat a guest so unprofessionally with no respect.

Great location so close to the main shopping street; also convenient if you’re catching the Flybus to:from the airport as the stop is a short walk. The beds aren’t as comfortable as some of the other hotels we stayed in and the shower curtain in a stand up stall was odd but otherwise a great option!

I can't say enough about how great the staff were at this hotel. They were so kind and quick to help with anything, and so polite. Unfortunately, I think every boutique hotel probably has a bad room or two and that's what we got. I would only stay here again if I was guaranteed to not have a room on the main level. Our room was right by the buffet/cafe/bar and was noisy until about midnight. If we didn't have an early morning this would have been fine, but it wasn't the case this time. It also opened to a terrace where people could sit to have a drink, which was awkward wit your room right there. The door to the bathroom didn't close all the way and the frosted doors weren't very private. We went into a friend's room on the fourth floor and it was beautiful, so I really think we got the short straw on this one. Our room was not worth the cost for that reason from my perspective, but again the staff was incredible. The breakfast buffet was also incredible, I would definitely recommend it for that reason. So absolutely stay here but ask to confirm you aren't on the main floor, otherwise stay somewhere else.
