The hotel was sweet with a great cafe-like space for working. Tea and coffee were complimentary which was a huge bonus for me. The room was clean, curtains blacked out the space for a great sleep.

Such a cute hotel and very modern. I enjoyed the complimentary tea, coffee and water. The service staff was friendly. I was able to book a couple tours and they were able to pick me up from this location. I loved that it is walking distance from several of the city’s landmarks, shopping and food places.

The entire hotel is very well decorated from the lobby, to the breakfast area, to the rooms! I loved staying in the Eyja Guldsmeden hotel for my last couple of days in Reykjavik. I will absolutely stay in a Guldsmeden hotel again whether in Iceland or another country. Top notch staff … special recognition to Albert & Jennie both went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable.
Break area just past the lobby.

Great little hotel a little off the main area

This hotel was just perfect for our first night in Iceland while we tried to shake the jet lag. Room wasn't too spacious but super cute with the canopy bed - which was very comfy. Bathroom was very clean and great bath products. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of veggie options and good coffee. Staff was friendly and check in/out was easy. The only detraction was it is about a 15 minute walk from the main downtown attractions.

Beautiful hotel with very friendly & helpful staff. They helped us with every question we had about the area and made us feel at home. Everything about the room down to the small details were wonderful, they held our luggage for free, helped us request taxis, and even helped direct us to a pharmacy when we needed one on short notice.

Excellent, comfortable hotel. A bit away from the center in a non-descript neighborhood but not that far from all the shops and restaurants on Laugavegur.

This hotel is so right around the corner from a Bonus store. It is a bit further from most of the shopping and cafes on Laugavegur St, but is not too far from the food hall. Overall, the food in the hotel was great, staff were helpful and kind, and it was very quiet. It did not have a mini fridge or microwave or air conditioning, but was perfect for our needs and did not feel stuffy in April.

This hotel really exceeded my expectations. They were able to accommodate a much needed earlier check-in. The lobby of the hotel was very cozy and had an extensive area for people to hang out. In addition, complimentary tea and coffee were available as self-serve all day. The room was small but efficient - it was clean and bright and very new. One unfortunate thing that happened while there was the elevator had broken down; however, the staff were able to help with luggage as needed. Note that the room did not have a mini fridge. Parking was easy and free. We chose the hotel for its walking distance to the city without the noise of a city. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

I LOVED my stay at Eyja Guldsman, though short. It is beautiful and comfortable, the staff were kind and helpful, and they offer free coffee and tea! I just wish it were closer to the city center - I switched hotels after a night, and I loved the convenience of my next place though it wasn’t as warm and inviting.
