Chic, modern city hotel with the best location

Very schickes and modern city hotel with the best location in the middle of Reykjavik. On foot you can reach everything: restaurants, bars, shopping, port, ausflugsveranstalter and so on. We were very satisfied with the hotel, only our view from the small double room bothered us, since we were there in a very unpleasant backyard looked, a not so nice background noise (machinery and lüftungsgeräusche ) offered. However it is certainly louder in the rooms with a view of the street because of the downtown location. With the view we soon got over, because the december anyway only about 5 ... hours bright and we this time in the room spent. The bathroom with large tub had relaxation, otherwise there was in the hotel no wellnessangebote or similar, but with a city journey also not so it is important, i think. In Reykjavik and the surrounding area so you can experience a lot and also ease (many pools, hot springs, etc.) And in the evening one could come gladly back to the hotel and sleep very well in the large, comfortable bed. That our room very small was, we didn't mind, however rather comfortable and functional. Pleasant and competent service, rich buffet breakfast with salmon, rollmops and co., beautiful cleanliness. The hotel is probably priced a little higher and is often of travelers. This makes it in our opinion very pleasant and quiet but nevertheless not too posh. We felt at ease and would book the hotel again. read more

The Radisson 1919 we booked for the last night, because we in conclusion the inside-city on foot ask wanted. This purpose the Radisson 1919 thanks to its location one hundred per cent. Night owls feel in this hotel also in good hands. Out from the hotel and you're right in the middle of the colorful Hustle and bustle, the weekends until the wee hours of the morning lasts for a while. One is in five minutes on foot with the port, with the new Schauspielhaus, the Walfischbeobachtungsbooten, the restaurants etc. Shops you will find also everywhere in the immediate hotel ... area. On weekends between the Radisson 1919 and the port a flea market instead of. In the same halls sell many fishermen their products for cheap prices. Pay you can take credit. We bought the same a few Kilogram dried fish, which we on drauffolgenden day with in Switzerland took. The hotel convinced also in terms of service in any Respect. As club Carlson gold Member we were upgraded to a upgrade to a suite on the top floor. This was a nice size, in very good condition and well equipped. About three German speaking tv-channels we could welcome. NESPRESSO -coffee machine, fridge, free internet and even the cleaning a Kleidungsstücks was also free in the upgrade included. Not bad, we were astonished, when we the staff at the hotel also two bottles of water and a fruit dish sent. Of check in to check out were all employees extremely friendly and professional. This hotel left a flawlessly impression with us and we can it unreservedly recommend. read more

The Radisson Blu 1919 we for our 5 nights in Reykjavik selected, because it is so nice centrally located. The location is really super, because one has the pedestrian precinct with shops, cafés and restaurants on the doorstep and the port is only a couple -minute walk away. The great location has however also a downside, because if you with the room bad luck has, you can't sleep at night, because constantly drunken on the street noise make. Luckily we had this bad luck only on the first night, when we arrived they told us, that we after the first ... night our room have to change (we did not understand why). As compensation we were given for the first night an upgrade to a junior suite. We were very happy from the suite, as it was a big room and when extra you had here bathrobes, slippers, a espresso machine and a couple more Extras in the bathroom ( for example hand cream), but unfortunately also (as on the 2nd floor located) the night noise. After the first night we should then yes move in the standard room, which was also very nice. It was on the 5th floor ( partly with deviation from pulse flatness) and here we could in peace sleep. Altogether the rooms are very well equipped, modern decor and the clean. The refresh service during our stay was only poorly (it was not sucked and shampoos etc. Not refilled). We had by the way after a 2. ceiling questions, because there was only one! Apart from that the breakfast was great, and the staff always friendly and helpful. We would go back in a heartbeat (but on a room on the top floor exist-). The WiFi was by the way free. read more

Standard room was very small. Such a small room I was so far in no Radisson Hotel offered. Bathroom also small and hardly place to put things. The on the internet announced slippers there was not, on the room service itself concerned. The hotel is in the old town. From here you can the city and dockland on foot explore. Shops, pubs, sights eTC. There is in front of the house plentiful. read more

The hotel lies nearby of the port and right in the center Reykjavik. Bars, pubs and lots of restaurants in the esplanade distance. Highly recommendable is the Grillmarkadurinn (the grill market ) - at the weekend reservation required-Scandinavian kitchen - excellent lamb and salmon and monkfish from the charcoal grill - fish is amazing tender and melts in the mouth. Equipment of the room is very good ( safe, iron, mini bar, bathrobe and slippers, free Wi-Fi). The office the Iceland excursions /gray line is located two minutes away from the hotel. We were very satisfied with excursions (observation, blue ... lagoon, golden circle) and its organization-the excursions as the Flybus prior to over internet booked. From the hotels, we on the way so could see, we didn't more beautiful or better located hotel in Reykjavik seen. read more

My daughter took me on a business trip and stayed in the office, I had a lot of time to enjoy, the breakfast. It was present everything, you could wish for, fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, cheese, cakes, milk products, eggs in many variations and a nice bread offer. One could dine after heart desire. The general competence crunchy mushrooms, you gedeien good, with geothermal energy heated Corrugated steel bunkers. Only the bottle with golden liquid you should not for aquavit, as I did, it is. Cod! The most popular hot dog den across the street from the hotel, the Posthusstraeti ..., strong operating until in the night, since the hotel was a disco nearby. We have tried the hot dogs of course, delicious, with a little lamb €for two. A bit to get to know around Iceland, the 'golden Circle' book, from the hotel you with the bus picked us up, to the whale watching, swimming in the blue lagoon including Siliceaeinreibung, Gles befa hrung Cher, town water falls, the Geisire rocket and much more including all food and drink. In the area you can especially in the Hummerhusied, great lobster meal, surprises us now, not that we got Eiweißschock. In the restaurant of the hotel you can also eat lobster dishes, or lamb. The vegetables, lamb soup was so great, two plates so leermachte. Two girls at the front desk are German and the waiter fragt 'alles clear'? We can really recommend this hotel. read more

Great hotel in the center of Reykjavik. Shopping, restaurants, pubs nearby. Only 2 minutes until to the harbor. Room clean, large. Top equipment - amongst others bathrobe, shoes, Waage, coffee u espresso machine in the room. Bathroom small with very little storage space. Perfect breakfast buffet (is missing at nothing!). Free wi-fi. Staff helpful. In the morning from 5:30 a. m. however on the street due to the central location somewhat loud (delivery traffic, trash collection, road sweeper amongst others) read more

This hotel is recommended due to its central location for a short city break to Reykjavik. The hotel is located very close to the harbor and the center. Various excursions are also directly from the hotel. Since 1919 , the hotel is good for business travelers and a short Islandurlaub. Service, rooms, friendliness of the staff, etc. completely fulfilled our expectations, partially even exceeded. We would stay here again in 1919 at any time. read more
