Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels"I liked the location, right in the harbor, where the whale watching boats are. I liked the ambience, the hotel has charm and character. I liked my room, clean and functional, very nice modern bathroom. There was decaf in the room!"
"Great location in the heart of Reykjavik"
"The staff was very helpful; the location was perfect for all of our activities as the bus stop is right outside the hotel. Shopping was all around us. Definitely will stay here again if we go back."
"This accommodation was nice, the rooms were clean and the staff were very nice. I never had to wait for a toilet or shower, and it was nice to have a hot tub - I had it alone for an entire hour. There isn’t any parking, but it is near a parking garage. It’s also near a Bonus grocery store and the main kitchen in the lobby has a few nice touches to help you prep some food (kettle, fridge, microwave, drinks, etc). The only complaint I have is that it’s advertised as soundproof pods, but I feel...
"Absolutely the sweetest hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff was over the top amazing! The hotel breakfast wasn’t added bonus. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent and happy hour every day from 3 to 6. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone everyone going to Iceland. It’s about a five minute walk from the main city center. It was super quiet. I would give this 10 stars if I could. Highly highly highly recommend this hotel!"
"The property was excellent. It was clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is plentiful and tasty. I gave the hotel a 4 for 2 reasons. 1) Design - if you have luggage you have to take an elevator up 1 floor to get to reception or carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. Very odd design IMO. 2) bathroom - it’s small and poorly designed. The shower will generally leak water on the rest of the floor and the sink counter was very small. Minor things aside I would stay here...
"Great hotel, staff were accommodating and friendly. Thank you to Victoria, Melissa, Fey, Harrlod, F&B, housekeeping and front desk team. They are all good and helpful. Kodus to the chef and kitchen staff. The food was exceptional. The only thing I want to see more will be a variety of menu or specials would have been nice but overall food taste and presentation is spot on. Thank you for making our stay safe and enjoyable."
