Lovely Hotel
This hotel is lovely! The staff was kind and they have an amazing spread for breakfast (which is an extra fee of $32 USD/day), which includes hot foods like bacon and eggs. Also loved the eco-friendliness of the hygiene products and room servicing. Thank you for a great and welcoming stay!

Industrial zone
Hotel was really removed from the town where most of the restaurants, shops and sites are located. Should have done a better job of researching. Pricing was competitive with luxury offerings and hotel was far from luxurious. Hotel photographs better than actual.

The entire hotel is very well decorated from the lobby, to the breakfast area, to the rooms! I loved staying in the Eyja Guldsmeden hotel for my last couple of days in Reykjavik. I will absolutely stay in a Guldsmeden hotel again whether in Iceland or another country. Top notch staff … special recognition to Albert & Jennie both went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable.

The hotel was sweet with a great cafe-like space for working. Tea and coffee were complimentary which was a huge bonus for me. The room was clean, curtains blacked out the space for a great sleep.
