My friend and I stayed here for three nights as part of a weekend trip to Iceland, the hotel was clean, comfortable and offered a really nice breakfast each morning in the restaurant. We also had a meal there the night before we left which was great. There is a kettle, tea and coffee in the room and the bathroom in our room was good size. The shower, however was somewhat smaller so someone of a slightly larger size may struggle to enter and exit the shower easily. We were able to walk to the local outdoor heated pool in 15 minutes, as well as to the local shopping centre. All in all the hotel was well priced, conveniently located and would be recommended for tired tourists after a big day of exploring! Also - the staff were happy to book anything we needed, tours etc, and there is a computer with internet which is free for all guests to use in the foyer, we never waited to use this as it was normally available.

We stayed at the Bjork for 4 nights. The room was fine for us as we just wanted a base. It was a reasonable size by UK standards and more importantly, it was clean & comfortable. We had requested a 'bay view room' which we were given - it had great views across the bay to the mountains the other side. The staff were very pleasant and there were tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The breakfast was OK - cereals, bread, salad, cheese, meat & fish (!). It was a good ten minutes or so to walk to the main part of town but we actually preferred 'our end of town'. We had great evening meals in 3 of the bistro type restaurants - Kaffi Solon (meal deals), Vegamot (try the monk fish) and Kaffi Rossenburg (live music on some nights). If you're comfortable driving abroad, I would suggest hiring a car (before going for the better deals). The main tarmac roads are good & easy to navigate but take care not to stray onto the gravel tracks unless you have a 4x4. Take care if you're in a car as parking can be an issue at the hotel. Many of the spaces in the street are for public parking but some areas have 'tow-away' signs by them (if in doubt -ask at reception). We visited Geysir, Gullfoss, Pingvellier & the Blue Lagoon - all fantastic. We also drove to Akranes where there is a fascinating museum and the 'Settlement Centre' at Borgarnes - both were great and we had them to ourselves (NB: some of these places open for shorter hours ourside of the main tourist season). All in all - a great place to visit.

The Hotel Bjork is clean, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the complimentary breakfast is great. It's a bit off the beaten path in Reykjavik, which I found to be an advantage. It's a close walk to the harbor and a little farther walk to the center of the city, which could be done at a leisurely pace in 15 minutes or so. The rooms are small, with even smaller bathrooms, however are certainly roomy enough for a few day stay with as much time as one spends in a hotel when traveling. Both Flybus and the tour I took picked up at Hotel Bjork, which was an advantage.

The hotel was lovely and quiet which suited us after long days looking around the fantastical sights of Iceland. The restaurant attached to the hotel served lovely meals in the evening at about £16 per person including soup and the salad bar. The staff were really helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble for them. It was a bit of a trek into the main areas but it kept us fit and helped burn up some of the calories from the beer and food we consumed. Our room was large, comfortable and looked out over the mountains. It was near to walk to the Pearl which is well worth a visit. There were enough bars and restaurants nearby if we didn't fancy the 15 min trek into the town centre.
