Excellent. The location is perfect. It is off to the side in a quiet straight but close to everything. Safe and nice area. The hotel itself is basic with everything you need and nothing more. Value for cost was good. The attached restaurant named Snaps was very good. Parking is on street using the parka app and I had no problem finding a space both all three times I parked. If no luck then it’s free parking at the national church five minutes away. I will stay here again.

Everything was fine. We did have to walk a bit for food, but pretty easy to roam the streets/shop. Eye opening experience as we haven't travelled much. Very interesting place!

The Odinsve Hotel was very resonsive to pre-checkin inquiries. Checkin was quick and efficient and we were able to checkin early after an overnight flight. The spacious room on the top floor had its own balcony with great views of Reykjavik. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. Hotel staff gave us dining recommendations, allowed us to store our luggage, and arranged a taxi to pick us up. We stayed in the Hotel Odinsve 32 years ago and it's our favorite hotel in Reykjavik.

Nice room with comfy beds and good bathroom. Was leaving for an early flight so didn’t get to try breakfast, sadly.

The staff was amazing. One of our friends had an emergency and the night manager, Gunnar, was amazing. Then another couple had flight issues and again Gunnar helped.

Odinsve was the perfect stay for me and my 3 girl friends. We all arrived at different times and the front desk was able to accommodate us all. The front desk staff are wonderful and can provide suggestions and insights for all travel needs. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bedding also fit our expectations. I would suggest a balcony view in order to see the sunset. I would stay here again!

Hotel was amazing, except for one thing. Street parking is very cheap and close enough walk to P3 zone (free on weekends). The only bad comment is that I booked a Junior Suite with mountain view. Some rooms had an amazing view of the mountain range. However, my room (401) looked at REK airport and water. Little to no mountains. Other than that very minor thing, neighborhood is safe, a quick 5 minute walk to shopping/bars/night life, and very clean everywhere

Just got back from a lovely stay. The hotel staff were helpful and attentive. The hotel was in a great location in good proximity to everything. There is free parking at the church which is located a 5 minute walk away from the hotel. It was ideal and I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

I have a friend who spoke highly of Hotel Odinsve which is partially why my wife and I stayed here for 2 nights. We were delighted we stayed as the location is very central to a lot in Reykjavik. The BSI bus terminal is just a short walk, there are many restaurants and shopping stores nearby and it is very safe to walk at any time. The team at the hotel is very friendly and everyone who attended us was super helpful and approachable. The one small thing that would have made my stay even better would have been a shower head that actually functions. In the bathtub, we were not able to get the shower head to work. We were able to bathe but weren’t able to use the shower head. But that aside, everything was excellent!
