Great place close to restaurants, shops, and attra

Loved the hotel and some of the workers there, especially the two gentlemen at the front desk. There were super attentive and would go out of their way to ensure we had what we needed. We were also booked an amazing taxi back to the airport for 8 people, plus bags and carry on bags for a flat rate. Our stay was for 9 nights!

I was initially very concerned from all the bad reviews but feel like I got lucky. My double standard room had a big window facing the sunset, which made it feel airy and spacious. I paid for the spa use which was worth it and restorative. Breakfast was plentiful and quality, even for those with dietary restrictions. Staff was always friendly and accommodating. Generally a quiet and restful vibe here. Perfect location. Highly recommend.

Great Location

Hotel is in a great location downtown, so easy to get around town. They secured our bags on arrival, so that we could visit the city. The room was ready early, so check in was great. Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was included and very good. They also offer a free drink. We stayed there both pre and post cruise. I would stay there again, if I ever return.

Breakfast was quite good. Recommend asking for a room not facing the street as think that would be quieter, and there is no biew advantage to street side. Our room faced the street and there was some construction and party noise until quite late each day (construction until just after 9pm and then party noise until 10 or so).

Didn’t know it did not have air conditioning…my fault. Having to leave the windows open at night made the room noisy until fairly late. The exhaust from the fish and chip restaurant made the room smell like old fish fryer oil. The bed was very uncomfortable and very low to the ground. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

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
