Find a different hotel if you’re going on a cruise

Surprised we put on the third floor without an elevator being available. The front desk had to leave to help us with our heavy luggage.The bathroom was probably the worst design I’ve ever seen a shower curtain and the water ran on the floor other than the fact that it was also very small. I’ve never seen this in a hotel specially, it’s such a high price. additionally, they have an extra charge if you arrive early and want to check into the room if it’s ready.

Amazing location. Very clean and nice staff. The room was very small and with low ceilings making it hard to stand up in places and made the room smaller. Im sure other rooms are better so try and request a room not on the too floor.

Nice hotel, great location, annoying shaped room

Very nice hotel with great location. Only thing that was awkward was the shape of the floor 4 rooms, with it being in the roof and all it was slanted and made getting around the room difficult. Beyond that free coffee and by all the sights and cafes you need.

Perfect downtown place for a visit

This is located in the perfect spot for your Reykjavik stay, right downtown across from the big church. The service was top notch. Everyone was helpful and cheerful. The breakfast was great! They had a large and healthy selection for breakfast items that don’t need to be cooked while you wait. Our room was very small, but it was clean and cute. The beds weren’t amazing, but for less than a week they were perfectly fine. The bathroom was spacious and clean.

Perfect for first night in Iceland !!

Our room was tiny, but had everything we needed, and overlooked the majestic cathedral. We could watch the people come and go from our big windows, and hear the church bells ring every 15 minutes. This did not affect our sleep, everything was nice and quiet at the hotel. We had a great experience at hotel Leifur Erickson and I highly recommend it. It’s in a great location and parking is easy, across the street near the cathedral. Dining options are also easy to get to from the hotel, and it’s at the top of a very good shopping street.

Small Room but Great Front Desk Staff

The economy room was very small with a slanted ceiling so there was little room to stand up. Very small bathroom. HOWEVER, it had a gorgeous view of the church and the front desk staff were SUPER helpful with restaurant recommendations and airport transfers.
