The room was clean, but it was bit difficult to understand. When I arrived the lobby door was already open unlike the instruction showed that I had to check-in again. Also, it would have been better to share the parking information in advance cause I wasn't sure what to do. The room was clean and tidy. I wish we had a garbage can and small fridge, but I guess it's too much to ask as I feel that the hotel is meant for the traveler staying overnight. The staff was very friendly. I am giving 4 out of 5 for friendly staffs.

Nice hotel, mostly self service. Single rooms are very small with a very small bed and bathroom. Room nice and toasty once you turn up radiator setting. Breakfast nice but with limited options. Staff friendly and welcoming. Bus to and from the airport stops right outside.

Great Hotel with a Wonderful Staff

I arrived early and my room was still occupied. The wonderful woman at the desk offered me breakfast, put my bags in storage, and gave me a map along with suggestions. I went out for the day and my bags were in my room when I arrived back to check in. The people here are very nice and helpful! My room was modern and clean. It was very quiet , even during the day. I slept well on the comfy bed. The hotel is at the southern edge of the city, but it’s a short walk to the bus stop. I definitely recommend staying here!

Great place to stay

Hotel Lotus was the first stay in my Iceland trip. The staff is very friendly and they went above and beyond to help me prepare for the rest of my trip. The room was clean and comfy. Breakfast was amazing. There is a supermarket right across the street. A lot of tour operators and airport shuttle service do pick up/drop off at the hotel which was very convenient.

The breakfast was excellent, lots of a variety and well presented. We were leaving before the breakfast was available on our last day, they prepared us sandwiches that we picked up on our way out. It was a 20 minute walk to shops and restaurants, the big mall is a 10 minutes away as well. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful.

Classy, comfortable & cozy

After staying at 60+ hotels in different cities, I can easily say that this was the best hotel stay among all. Really shoutout to the staff, amazing and super friendly service, paying attention to details. Room was extremely comfortable, spacious and clean. Interior design, furniture and amenities are exceptional. Breakfast was very good. We were lucky to experience Reykjavik while staying at Hotel Lotus.
