Lovely small hotel with very clean and comfortable suite. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous and they also served freshly baked snacks throughout the day. Excellent service and very accommodating. We were able to store our luggage with them for a few hours while we walked to the botanical gardens. Thank you for your hospitality.

This hotel was exceptional. Very reasonably priced. Not a luxury hotel by any stretch but we did not plan to spend much time in the room. The location is a bit away from the downtown area but reachable by a short bus ride. The building, inside and out, is absolutely immaculate. The room is kind of European spartan but clean, comfortable (great shower!) and perfect. The hotel is absolutely dead quiet at night. The continental breakfast buffet was one of the best I have had almost anywhere in the world. Fresh bread, fresh fruit, great cheese, meat and smoked fish selection and more. We met the owner and, the next day, having to check out earlier than the breakfast was served, she insisted on making us a couple of sandwiches which we picked up right before we headed to the airport. It is also important to say a word about the staff. Outstanding. They helped us through a number of questions and helped us booked the transportation to the airport which was not so easy. A great, helpful and wholly competent staff that made the stay even more memorable. We loved this place and the owner deserves all the credit for operating a great lodging. My place to stay if I return to Reykjavik.

Wonderful place to stay in Reykjavik. The location makes it easy to get anywhere, whether you are exploring the city or traveling to others parts of Iceland. The self-check in process is quick and easy. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is excellent, with many options to choose from. The staff are kind and welcoming.

The room was very clean and spacious. The shuttle buses can pick-up / drop-off right at this hotel which was really convenient for us! There is a supermarket just about 5mins walk away as well.

Hotel Lotus is very nice hotel. We recommend people to stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean. The complimentary breakfast was also delicious. The hotel provides free parking, but it is good 20+ minute walk to the main scenic attractions in Reykjavik. Overall, it was nice staying away from the busy area of Reykjavik to avoid the noise and traffic. The place does not have a receptionist. They instead provide by email the code to enter into the room. Being new to Reykjavik, it would have been nice to have someone greet us and provide us more information about Reykjavik. We will stay at this hotel again if we visit Reykjavik.

We stayed at Hotel Lotus for a few nights after a cruise. Staying here was one of the highlights of the trip! The double room was just the right size for us. The breakfast was 11/10, and the ladies working that we ran into while staying were absolutely lovely.

One of the best hotels we have stayed at in Iceland. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful. The breakfast buffet was superb, and the person managing it was absolutely lovely. She helped us with everything we asked for and gave us great tips about Iceland. On top of that, we met Julia on our first day, and she left no stone unturned in making our stay wonderful. The level of hospitality we received truly made our trip even more memorable. The next time we visit Iceland, this will be the hotel where we stay 100%.

I stayed here in Feb 2026 and absolutely loved it. The parking is incredibly convenient to begin with. My room was spotless, very stylish and comfortable. The shower and the bathroom overall was perfect. The breakfast was also outstanding. The staff couldnt have been friendlier. I would 100% stay here again!

Where can I eat near Hotel Lotus?

You can eat at the hotel's own restaurant, which serves meals on site. For more variety, popular nearby options include Brasserie Askur for a steakhouse dinner, Lemon for smoothies and sandwiches, Múlakaffi for cafeteria-style home cooking, Nútrí Açaí Bar for vegan bowls, and Bombay Bazaar for Indian cuisine. Kringlan, a 15-minute walk away, also has plenty of places to eat. The Reykjavik Food Walk tour is another good way to sample local food.

What is the area around Hotel Lotus like?

Hotel Lotus sits in a quiet residential pocket of Reykjavik, away from the main tourist bustle but still well connected. Kringlan, the city's largest shopping mall, is a 15-minute walk away, and the shopping hubs of Miðbær, Skeifan, and the streets of Ármúli and Síðumúli are all within a 10-minute stroll. Many of the city's scenic landmarks are within a comfortable walk: Höfði House at 16 minutes, Perlan at 20, Hallgrimskirkja at 22, and the Sun Voyager at 23. For sights farther off, like Rainbow Street and the Phallological Museum, you can catch a bus from the nearby Háaleitisbraut stop. The area feels local and calm, with a practical mix of shops and eateries nearby for daily needs.

How do I get to Hotel Lotus from the airport or main train station?

From Keflavik International Airport, Grayline and Airport Shuttle Iceland buses stop right outside Hotel Lotus, so you can take either directly to the hotel. From Reykjavik Domestic Airport, just 2.4 km away, a taxi or ride-hailing app gets you there quickly. The nearest bus stop, Háaleitisbraut / Lágmúli, is a 2-minute walk and served by routes 4 and 11 if you prefer public transport. Since Reykjavik has no main train station, the airport buses are the handiest way in.

What's there to do near Hotel Lotus in the evening?

After dinner, you can walk to Höfði House in 16 minutes, Perlan in 20, Hallgrimskirkja in 22, or Sun Voyager in 23, all close enough for a pleasant stroll. For a different kind of night out, Reykjavik's Northern Lights tours are a great option, like the bus tour with hot chocolate or a small-group tour with professional photos. These tours and the nearby sights give you plenty to do once the sun goes down.

Is Hotel Lotus a good base for exploring Reykjavik?

Hotel Lotus makes a handy base for seeing Reykjavik on foot. Höfði House is a 16-minute walk, Perlan a 20-minute walk, Hallgrimskirkja 22 minutes, and the Sun Voyager 23 minutes. For sights farther out like Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street at 2.2 km or the Settlement Exhibition at 2.7 km, you can use the nearby Lágmúli bus stop or drive; parking is free. Staying slightly outside the center keeps you close to the landmarks while having an easy starting point for day tours and exploring the city.
