It's in a parking lot, so don't come for the views. But as a home base, it's conveniently located, a quick drive from downtown, and the price was good. The rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. A special shout out to Chuck (I would mangle his actual Icelandic name) who lent us a corkscrew and even opened and... More

Much quieter than city centre. 20 minute drive into city... much longer by bus. (Some tour operators will charge extra for pick up) Hallways smell of BO, but rooms are OK and hot water also smells of sulphur (but did not at 2 other hotels) Rooms are bigger than in Reykjavik. Pillows are flat and useless. Big, bright window was... More

We stayed 5 nights at hotel Smari. The rooms were very clean and were properly cleaned every day. The beds were okey and the bathroooms very good (above average i Reykjavik when compared with other travellers). The breakfast was very good and rich (except the coffee if you prefer the stronger roasting). And best of all; it is very quiet... More

If you would have have a super service to a nice price chose hotel Smari the only thing that could be better is the location.

The rooms didnt have hairdryer and iron, but this was brought... More

I booked via Expedia for $116 per night which is what one normally should expect to pay for a 3 star accommodation in the shoulder season. A tad expensive for what you get, but Iceland isn’t cheap to begin with. The hotel is located in the outskirts of Reykjavik, in the Smaralind area, right next to a few shopping plazas... More

Stayed here for a week with my two teenagers on a last minute trip to Iceland. This is a modern, Travelodge style hotel situated on a business unit estate near a large shopping centre in the suburbs of Reykjavik. Don't be put off by this hotels location as it is ideal for anyone on a moderate budget or those looking... More
