This was a wonderful hotel, and I would recommend it to anybody staying in Reykjavik! The staff were so kind and polite, and the facilities were clean and relaxing. The location is perfect and walk able to many bars, shops, restaurants. We spent many days before the hotel in a camper van traveling and this was the perfect stop to end the trip for 2 nights.

The room was pretty spacious and clean. The hot tub in the basement was really good. The location is nice except getting pretty noisy on Saturday night.

Right from the moment of check in, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Luz, in particular, went out of her way to make my stay in Reykjavík memorable with her suggestions and help with bookings. The lobby was inviting and a great place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel had a great atmosphere.

*Alert* property shares an entire building wall with a night club/dance. Though I like 90’s music, I’m partial to not hearing it at 1am through hotel wall, HVAC duct work and sink drains. Hotel staff were unable to assist at 1am. Wednesday night till Sunday is a problem.

I could not sleep for many hours due to a very loud music venue next door. They need to sound proof the rooms. Also our windows were bizarre. Temperature control poor. The sink is not functional it is located in the room itself with limited space.

This is a beautifully designed hotel. The rooms are a good size and the bed is comfortable. The gym is well equipped and the hotel spa is a definite bonus, it had a steam room and hot tub which was very relaxing. I enjoyed my stay here very much. My only complaint is that all of the rooms have an open concept bathroom, so there are no doors in the bathroom area and showers. If you like privacy, it’s definitely not for you but it’s beautifully designed.

Other than expected city noise, it was an excellent hotel. Minor comments include dark hallways and shower and a bit too hot like many Iceland facilities though. Also getting an email prior to check-in prior regarding a major festival in the city, resulting in difficult paid parking, would have been appreciated.

The hotel itself is interesting. Located on a corner and its not highly visable. But the overall location is perfect walking to everything! No coffee pot in the room, you need to arrange for one at a nominal fee. Didn't realize that until the morning. The staff was amazing. The room was clean. The neighbors were loud (which is not the hotels doing).

Pros and cons for this hotel. Cons: We were on front of hotel on 4th floor and on the weekend there was a lot of street noise and we could hear music from a club close by (all going on until early morning). The owner of the hotel and hotel staff were not overly friendly, but front desk was at least helpful (we had to go to Marriott Edition to meet one of our tours had 3 different staff greet us, offer to assist us, then just engage in friendly chit chat and we were not even staying there). Lastly our room was clean but had a modern minimal vibe, it was just not user friendly or cozy. Somehow just not convenient for trying to keep all our "travel stuff" organized. Mini frig temp was room temp even when temp turned low. You could not get close to the one bathroom mirror to put on makeup. Bathroom was completely open to bedrm and toilet had only frosted glass for walls and door (think echoing fish bowl). Pros: The hotel was in a great location for the main shopping and restaurant area of Reykjavik. It was across from bus stop 6 where many tours pickup. The bed and sheets were very comfortable. They provided a converted (but we did bring our own). We were traveling with another couple and decided over all the pros slightly out weighed the cons for us but for the cost of the room we expected a more luxurious or at least cozy room and would have liked staff to be friendly and more more accommodating considering they are in the hospitality industry.

Dear Shannon,I understand that you had a poor experience at our hotel due to the noise from the Reykjavík's night life. We are in the heart of downtown Reykjavík, the nightlife during the weekend can be vibrant and active and this could affect any property in downtown area. Unfortunately, it can sometimes get loud in the night, and I understand how much discomfort it can make.We at 101 hotel reykjavík pride ourselves on our customer service and being able to provide a premium customer experience. We are sincerely sorry to hear that this negative experience disrupted your staykind regards,Liljahotel manager

Amazing hotel and really friendly, helpful staff. Modern and luxury feel throughout the hotel. Excellent location, close to bus stops 3 and 6 for excursions and transfers. In the heart of shops, restaurants and great little bakeries. Also close to the harbour for whale watching and northern lights boat trips. We loved the spa that we had to ourselves for no extra charge. Lovely to go to the big jacuzzi after being out in the cold. Perfect hotel for a short or long stay in Iceland!

The staff here was incredibly rude. Construction outside was out of control, and the staffs reaction to it was startlling. Construction outside a hotel is beyond the hotels control, the behavior at the front desk should be closely examined by management.

Hotel 101
Great hotel very clean & great location just a 30 second walk to bus stop 6 for excursion pickup. Breakfast was very tasty, the hotel can get a little noisy if you are facing street we were on second level street facing. I would recommend a higher floor. The bar at hotel is very popular hangout so you can hear music at night until about 1am but didn’t bother us since we were so tired from are busy day sight seeing. The location is the best & hospitality was amazing
