I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Leifur Eiriksson. The room was perfect for a rest between sightseeing and the hotel was very conveniently located near a bus stop and multiple sights. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, providing recommendations. I also appreciated the coffee and tea available in reception. I would definitely stay here again!

Great Location. User-friendly. Directly across from Bus Stop #8 on the right side of Hallgrimskirja church (when facing it). Many restaurants and local shops nearby. Above all, very nice and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

It’s nice to be in the city close to so much. However the second building would be better with an elevator and the complimentary tea/ coffee available ( instead of walking across the street with a cup in hand)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Excellent staff, very nice breakfast, clean hotel, centrally located. Main complaint, really, is the lack of an elevator (difficult when arriving/leaving with heavy bags). Also, few tour operators pick up in that area for some reason. It's near a highly touristic area full of shops and restaurants, and that was nice. Would use it again.

The place was really convenient—centrally located and within walking distance of all the main spots. I mostly used it to store my things and get some rest since I spent most of my time on tours, and it worked perfectly for that.

Hotel in the center of everything downtown Reykjavik. Note that rooms facing the church do feel a little noisy but the view at night is wonderful.

Small rooms, issues with washroom overheating, no elevator but overall this was a great property. You can't beat the location and the common areas were a nice touch to have somewhere to hangout since the rooms are quite small. Very close to attractions and walkable to bus pickup locations.
