When we arrived, jet lagged with blood shot eyes, the owner met us at the desk and escorted us to the dining area and insisted we take a break and have breakfast. While breakfast was part of the room charge, we hadn't yet stayed a night. Hotel was very clean and well laid out. Close by was the Big Red Bus pickup for the city tour. Also rather close by was the mall which is a wonderful place to help break the lag. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay there again when we return to Iceland. Could not ask for a better experience.

Very cute, clean, and comfortable hotel close to food, groceries, and tour pick up
point.
The staff is very friendly, the beds are very comfortable, and it comes with continental breakfast.
Airport pick up can be arranged easily and there is an elevator.

The perfect base for exploring Reykjavik! I stayed at Hotel Lotus for two nights - my first and last in Iceland. Everything is recently renovated, Maria (and everyone I interacted with) was incredibly kind, and the breakfast options were great. It’s about a 20 minute walk from the hotel to the main tourist attractions, but I appreciated this as it meant I didn’t have to navigate my car through the city center. I stayed in one of the single rooms, which was small but no different than shown in their photos. (I’m always happy to find single rooms as it makes traveling solo much more affordable.) Would highly recommend staying at Hotel Lotus!
