The 5 star customer service at Hotel Holt began even before I checked in. They helped me reserve a spa visit and a tour, and gave advice on airport transfers -- jumping in to help when a glitch in the Flybus website booked my ticket for the wrong day. Adam waited up for my 2 am arrival and Jennifer helped with additional bookings. The lovely breakfast and art collection throughout the building make it easy to overlook that my quiet single room was tiny and in need of an update. It had a coffee machine but no fridge. The hotel is in a cute neighborhood, easy walk to Rainbow street and the pond. Stately sitting area on the ground floor offered tea and coffee, but the bar was closed on the days I was there.

This hotel is unique, chic, and cozy. The staff are incredible and very accommodating. We had a rental, with plenty of options for included parking. Our room was on the 3rd floor, with plenty of natural lighting. The bathroom was very nice, shower had excellent pressure and temperature. The provided espresso machine with included pods, cups and chocolates were the "icing on the cake" for our room. The hotel has so much character! We loved walking around looking at each of the art pieces, statues, and themed rooms.

A lovely hotel with an inviting library-like lobby environment. My single bed was very comfortable, and just what I needed after an overnight flight.

We loved the spacious, elegant areas downstairs, with beautiful pictures (dozens of them!) and period furniture and stylish decorations. There is tea and coffee downstairs at all times, we stayed there each night admiring the art. The staff was most helpful and friendly. Free parking was a bonus. The room (junior suite) was spacious and comfortable, but the bathroom is really tiny. The hotel shows the signs of aging, and I hope it will be renovated because it is unique in its character. We enjoyed our stay there.

We had a great stay here. The hotel itself is beautiful. We really enjoyed the aesthetic; however the room was quite small and did not feel as nice as the rest of the hotel. The staff were wonderful, breakfast and the bar were great. Free parking was fantastic, and we were so close to everything downtown that we mainly just walked everywhere.

The staff is extremely cordial and helpful. The hotel is situated close to the BSI Reykjavik bus terminal, where you can easily book/be picked up for day tours. It is also an easy walk to the famous rainbow street, where you can shop, eat and get a photo of Hallgrimskirkja church. The room was cozy, and had all the basic necessities. The old fashioned elevator is small and charming. There is a coffee station at the hotel lobby and if you arrive on an red eye flight, they will hold your bags at the front. Overall, I was pleased with this facility for it's location and will book a room again on my next trip to Iceland.

My partner and I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Holt. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were all helpful and kind. I loved that this hotel was a few minutes off the main street, so it was super quiet at night. That being said, it was still incredibly walkable and convenient to explore the city. If you take the bus from the airport, the main station (BSÍ) is only a ten minute walk or two minute taxi ride from the hotel. Would definitely book again!

Hotel Holt is about an 7 minute walk to the Rainbow Street in Reykjavik. From there you have access to restaurants, shops, museums, etc. The hotel is older and the lobby, bar, lounge areas have a old, posh, distinduished vibe. The room was nice but a bit dated, which I would say about the hotel in general. Nice, clean, convenient location, safe to walk around, friendly staff, but some wear and tear is starting to show. The breakfast was good and the items changed daily with a good selection of local Icelandic options. There are 2 parking lots available for parking; one lot only has 4 spots, but the other has more spaces but is tight and hard to get in and out of at times, but I always got a spot. Overall, enjoyed my stay at Hotel Holt.

The Holt “Art” Hotel is so named due to its extensive art collection throughout - paintings, drawings, sculptures, textiles - which you are invited to peruse. Excellent buffet breakfast in true Nordic style. Helpful staff. Older, with small elevator and adequate sized rooms. Big comfortable seating areas in lobby but no bar. Ten minute walk from main bus station (airport bus, day trip tour buses), and a few short blocks from main pedestrian streets for dining, shopping, cathedral; waterfront a bit further but nice walk (bring an umbrella). Located in a residential neighborhood. Hotel is quiet, clean. Very enjoyable four night stay.
