Fantastic experience. Amazing service from check in to check out. Nice spacious room with everything we needed for our three night stay in Reykjavik. The hotel is next door to the famous Sandholt bakery and right on the main shopping street. Easy access to shopping, tours, restaurants, bars, bus stops and famous sites. All the staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with lots of options and friendly staff in the morning. Big shout out to Roberto who took great care of us as soon as we arrived until the day we checked out. Very helpful, friendly and made our experience even better A++++++ and 10/10!!!

  • Excelente ubicación, muy buen hotel, pero complicado si llegás en auto

    “Me alojé dos veces en el Sand Hotel durante el mismo viaje, primero una noche y luego otras dos, así que esta valoración es un promedio de ambas experiencias. La ubicación es excelente: tiene accesos a metros de la peatonal, está muy cerca de la calle que lleva a Hallgrímskirkja y a pocas cuadras de la costa. Para recorrer Reykjavík caminando, es difícil pedir algo mejor. Las habitaciones están muy bien y cuentan con todo lo necesario. En mi segunda estadía, además, estaba todo perfectamente resuelto en cuanto a mesas de luz y enchufes. El desayuno es bueno y correcto, y en general el hotel resulta cómodo y muy agradable.”

    “Location was in downtown, a perfect location for visiting many attractions and walkable to many and next door to an amazing bakery. Room was clean and large. Staff was exceptional. Friendly, professional and helpful. Made you feel welcome. Appreciated the luggage storage both pre check in and post check out while we made the most of every minute. The breakfast was very good and had something for everyone.”

    “This hotel is in a prime location for visiting downtown Reykjavik! Countless restaurants and pubs are nearby, so you wont want for that, or for things to do! The atmosphere was welcoming and courteous. The reception team got us checked in quickly (although we arrive at about 9:45 AM) and while they didnt have a room right way, pointed us in a good direction to do some initial sightseeing, shopping and eating. The room was very nice, great bathroom too. We circumstantially visited concurrent with a PRIDE parade and departed the day before the solar eclipse. Needless to say, the hotel was busy and the rooms expensive, but not proportionally more than other similar hotels. We could tailor our housekeeping services to our needs, and the team did a great job keeping the rooms and common areas clean and inviting. Situated along a main walking street, the noise (street-side) tended to be a little higher at night thane had hoped, but wasn't terribly intrusive. Complimentary breakfast was very nice!!”
