Top Árbær Open Air Museum Hotel Reviews

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

8/10 Good

"This hotel was decent enough and did everything I needed - clean, quiet and a basic breakfast included. While it worked fine with the access codes etc, the absence of any staff at all on site was slightly odd and made the whole experience feel a little impersonal. I value having someone to speak to in person if I have questions or need anything."

Reykjavik Domes

10/10 Excellent

"So cozy and warm. The fireplace and hot tub made our stay so relaxing. It is glamping to a tee. I will say I would opt for the slightly bigger and more expensive dome next time since it has an actual door and not a zipper to enter. Other than that, we loved our stay!"

ASKA Heiðmörk

10/10 Excellent

"It was great, very clean and the bathrooms were very nice, they also had a seperate place to eat and everything was well kept. Really great stay, even if just for one night!"

Blue Mountain Apartments by Heimaleiga

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was small but very cozy, clean, and comfortable. It was easy to get in and out, and everything was simple and convenient. A great little place to stay while exploring Iceland. We would definitely stay here again!"

Urban Reykjavik Studios by Heimaleiga

10/10 Excellent

"It was compact but very nice. It’s keyless and all on your phone. We enjoyed our stay!"

Arctic Comfort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice room!"

Hotel Kriunes - A city hotel by the lake

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and nice views. Breakfast was very good and staff were helpful and polite. Road into the hotel is a bit rough."

B14 Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"JACKIE WAS AN AMAZING STAFF, I see some mixed reviews about here and I was hesitant to go, but I get here met cool ppl had late night chats. Welcomed warmly by Jackie she’s the best kind, thoughtful person! Thanks for everything - Ryan"

ICELAND SJF Villa , Hot tub & Outdoor Sauna Amazing Mountains View - 15 min to downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again. "
