Amazing stay! Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. The beds were very comfy too. The location is great and very central, lots of restaurants and shops around. The breakfast was lovely and fresh. Bakery bread, smoked salmon, boiled eggs, smoothies, ginger shots, fruit, chai pudding, the list could go on! Thanks for an amazing stay.

This is a lovely modern hotel in the central part of Reykjavik. Easy walk to all the shopping, restaurants, and historical sites. Staff were very helpful and kind. Decent sized rooms for an European hotel. The included breakfast is delicious (fresh baked breads, meat, cheeses, skyr and fruit; don't forget your ginger shot!). We parked our rental car on the street behind the hotel (Laugavegur 37, 101 Reykjavík for your GPS). Using the parking app, it was $27 US/day. There is a rear entrance to the lobby from the rear street. We saw the Northern Lights while parking the car here.
My only complaint is for rooms in the rear west end of the property. The bar next door plays loud music until midnight Thurs-Sat which is easily heard in the rooms. Bring some ear plugs and play a white noise app on your phone.

The staff is fantastic and it included breakfast! It’s a traditional Icelandic breakfast which was really neat. It’s a great location on the walking street. We enjoyed this being our hub to explore Reykjavik. The room was extremely clean, my only complaint would be it was very small. Especially for a cold environment it was hard to have a place for our clothes. Also the room was very warm. We had the window open and the heat off the entire time and our room was still hot. I’m still giving it 5 stars though because I’m not sure the hotel can do anything about those things.

Convenient right in the heart of Iceland! It was walkable to almost everything we wanted to go and do. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed it, we would say it was one of the coziest settings we stayed at! The staff was nice and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with many different options including smoothies which my husband and I both loved! The only down side was there was no organized parking for hotel guests. Also the street that it is on your can’t drive down. We had to find street parking and pay for it. It became a hustle with our luggage but we made it work! Would recommend!

Sand Hotel is top notch! Every employee we encountered is 100% engaged and invested in you. It is remarkable to experience, and in all my travels, I've never experienced this level of success. They knew us by name, and even told us we felt like family since we were there for 2 weeks. Location is great, too. More restaurants, shops, etc literally right out the door.
The tour bus stop #14 is only a few blocks away down the hill. And taxis are also easily arranged for door service. The buffet breakfast doesn't have hot food, but myriad choices are available...meats, eggs, cheeses, lox, fresh breads from the bakery next door, on and on! Delicious.
Thanks to everyone on staff who made our stay wonderful!
