"Great hotel, clean, modern, good location and easy to walk to city centre, close to nightlife. Friendly staff.spacious room with good storage and complimentary coffee."
"The Alda Hotel was the perfect hotel to stay in during our trip to Reykjavik. It was very clean, the bed was so comfortable, and it was located close to restaurants, the church, shopping, and most importantly Broad and Co. Would stay here agin for sure. "
"Loved the no frills but luxe vibe. Perfect for travellers who prioritize maximizing their experience in the city instead of maximizing bedroom square footage. That said, the beds are perfectly comfortable! My husband and I stayed in a "Hub" room and had plenty of space to sleep. We were able to fit 2x carry on suitcases and 1x check-in suitcase, but be aware you can probably only open one at a time. If you're a woman on the 4th floor you really luck out with a gorgeous bathroom view! The common space is beautiful and the wristbands they use for everything (opening your room, buying from the self-serve bar, etc) is well-designed. The outdoor hot tub is a lovely touch but I do wish it were hotter!
Two points to improve would be to offer some sort of cream/milk for coffee/tea at the self-serve area, and to fix the lockers - the door hinges are terrible and affect how easily you can lock the door. However, it's still a 5/5 based on the other amenities and general vibe."
"Nice breakfast and comfortable rooms. We didn't get in until really early like 1am and they were very helpful. On the 2nd morning we had to leave early so we all got bagged breakfasts included. The location is right on the edge of old town and even better is at a bus stop for the airport and pickup for all the tours."
