A staple in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland for more than 50 years, the Hotel Holt cherishes and celebrates Icelandic culture in an unparalleled manner. The entire ground floor of this boutique property is practically its own art museum, as it showcases three sculptures, multiple murals and hundreds of paintings from some of Iceland's most beloved artists. And if you book directly through this hotel's website, you get a complimentary three-day pass to three of Reykjavik's art museums. What's more, the on-site Holt Restaurant, which opened in December 2018, provides visitors with exquisite food from an award-winning chef during dinner hours. Recent guests complimented the comfortable and clean rooms here, which include free Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs and minibars. And though there is no fitness center or swimming pool on-site, this hotel provides passes to the World Class gym and swimming pool that sit just 2 miles away from the property. Most of Reykjavik's main attractions, such as Hallgrímur's Church and The Settlement Exhibition, can be found within walking distance, and guests who wish to explore the city by car can enjoy free parking on-site.

Situated right in the Old Harbor of Iceland's capital, the Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina puts guests right in the center of the action in Reykjavik, Iceland. Some of the booming city's most popular attractions, including the Sun Voyager sculpture and the Harpa conference hall, are within walking distance of this boutique property. Plus, the hotel offers exceptional views of the city's main harbor from both its rooms and the lobby. Although there are numerous cafes and shops in the surrounding neighborhood, recent guests loved the breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch served at the on-site Slippbarinn restaurant. When it's time to relax, kick back in your room, which features Icelandic design and maritime decor and includes free Wi-Fi access, a minifridge and a flat-screen TV. While many previous visitors appreciated the hotel's quirky design and friendly staff, others wished there were tea and coffee makers in the rooms (you can ask for one at the front desk, though). However, travelers can enjoy a film in the on-site movie theater or break a sweat in the fitness center.

Common areas and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of moss-covered rocks or the lagoon's ice blue water, as well as natural materials like wood and slate. Standard Moss-level accommodations come outfitted with balconies and freestanding bathtubs, while Lava- and Lagoon-level suites offer extras like terraces with direct lagoon access. What's more, all room rates – which some previous guests said are pricey – cover daily breakfast, Wi-Fi access, group yoga sessions and guided hikes as well as afternoon coffee in the lounge and valet parking. For travelers who want to pamper themselves during their stays, the hotel houses a spa that offers a variety of treatments, including in-water massages and facials that incorporate geothermal seawater. And when it's time to eat, guests can choose from one of four on-site dining venues.

When it's time for dinner, the hotel's Isafold Restaurant serves a variety of local seafood and meat. The hotel is located on a side street, but many guests warn that the street noise from nearby bars and restaurants tends to seep into the rooms throughout the night.

Alda Hotel Reykjavik serves as an arctic oasis committed to putting guests first: From the helpful staff to the delicious dining options to the in-house barbershop, this property has convenience covered. The hotel even offers smartphones for guests to use throughout their stay, with local calls and data included. While the hotel sits in the center of Reykjavik, it's situated on the quieter end of a main shopping street, Laugavegur, which creates a more peaceful atmosphere. The 88 guest rooms all sport cool colors and Icelandic designs, and in-room amenities include walk-in showers, coffee and tea makers, robes and TVs. Still, some guests say the rooms can feel a bit cramped and dark. Exploring Reykjavik is easy from this hotel, and iconic attractions such as the Sun Voyager sculpture and Hallgrímur's Church are less than 10 minutes away by foot. Travelers who want to venture outside the city and explore the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle or other natural Icelandic wonders can head to the nearby bus stop, where many excursions depart. Then, after an adventure-filled day, guests can return to the hotel to relax in the sauna or the outdoor hot tub. After unwinding, they head to dinner at the hotel's Brass Kitchen and Bar, which serves dishes like deep-fried Icelandic Camembert cheese and fish stew.
