We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Iceland. Beautifully appointed, clean, convenient to sights, quiet and the beds!!!! Great! Breakfast each day was fantastic too. Other guests seemed to be enjoying themselves and were friendly. The staff were helpful and kind. Would stay again in a heart beat!!!
We enjoyed out time at the hotel Lotus.
The room was large with plenty of storage. We were on the top floor and the room was quite hot which surprised us. We opened the window but it was difficult to cool the room even when it was 40F outside.
Plenty of hot and cold water and the water tastes great all over Iceland.
Good quality towels.
The bathroom was nice, I would bring my own shampoo and conditioner, most hotels provided body wash but not shampoo or conditioner. The mirror in the bath was really high. I’m 5’5” and the shelf came to the middle of my nose. They provided a hair dryer and a mini fridge.
Plenty of parking.
Breakfast was very nice. It had multiple types of breads/sweets, spreads, salmon, ham, different cheeses (I loved the paprika cheese), boiled eggs, fruit, etc. We stayed for two days and the breakfast room wasn’t very busy.
Absolutely 5 star experience! Hotel mamma (local Icelandic) is the sweetest and most warm hearted person I met in a long time. She clearly loved to nurture and care for her guests. We got bumped up and had a suite for 3 days. Such a beautiful ambient atmosphere. The best home smoked salmon for breakfast and pukka tea! Simply a place full of love. I will come back any time
Best place we stayed in Iceland. So clean and pretty. Breakfast had a great spread! Coffee was great. Bed was soooooo comfy. Staff was soo nice.
Parking was easy. Their parking lot is small so not sure what it’s like during summer if every room is booked but we had no problems find a spot during winter.
The only thing I would say not going for this place is that it’s not in middle of town where you can just walk to everything. But definitely if you have a car and need to park it was perfect.
I will never stay anywhere else in Reykjavik! We arrived so early from our red eye flight and planned to park there and ask where we could eat breakfast to kill time until our room was ready. They insisted we sit down to their breakfast instead even though we hadn’t even stayed the night yet, and expedited our room cleaning so we could grab a quick nap and take advantage of the great weather to explore in the afternoon.
The breakfast is amazing, with homemade coffee cake, smoked salmon, bread, croissants, yogurt, fruit, and various other dishes, and is included with the stay. We were well fueled for our long days of hiking and exploring! Definitely much better than the typical continental breakfast.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, very modern design. They vary in size and amenities so maybe check with them if you need a specific type of room. Parking is ample and free.
The hotel is not located close to downtown Reykjavik - we walked but it did take a good 30 minutes. That doesn’t bother me as I like to spend time walking through new cities and exploring.
The people who run this hotel are so gracious and caring. I would recommend it to anyone.
