Kvosin Downtown Hotel

excellent and perfect location let us check in 7 hours early

Kvosin is in a good location to explore Reykjavik and close to many good eateries. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well equipped. However it is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff that make a stay at Kvosin special. From the welcome at arrival, to recommendations and booking of excursions and places to eat, the front desk staff could not be more helpful. Every morning we were warmly welcomed at breakfast which was fresh and plentiful. Our short trip to spectacular Iceland was made truly special by our choice of hotel.

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It was a studio room with a little kitchen. There is not a tv in the bedroom area and a small tv in the family room but not much time was spent in the room so it was fine. The best part of our stay was the staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable about Viking history and very happy to share!

Amazing staff location and food!

I loved the quirkiness of this historic building right in the center of Reykjavik. We literally walked out the door and were at the city hall, the cathedral (well - a small wooden church) and Bus Stop 1 and 3. (It's about 15 mins fast but pleasant walk to the BSI bus terminal). Each room is different, ours was called Loa and looked out over the gardens at the back of the parliament building. The shower room divided the bed/living areas, so my son had his privacy but was safely in our room. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and kept our luggage both on arrival and departure. The cooking facilities allowed us to make dinner one evening when we were too tired to go out. Everything was very clean and nicely appointed.

Great hotel in a good location near to shops n restaurants..... only “complaint” was the lack of parking around hotel so u hv to get lucky and will hv to pay for parking as well

Reception staff was not very clear about how to get to our room and I had to double back to get proper instructions. Didn't realize we had to go outside onto balcony to get to our room. Also, she was not very helpful in providing options to get our bags into the hotel, as there was no parking available and no valet. She was willing to not charge my husband (he is caucasian) late check out, and said, "Take your time", but when I inquired (I am asian) about late check out, she wasn't willing to give me similar break for an hour extension.

I loved this quaint cool hotel and the location!

I selected this hotel because of reasonable rate and good review score. When my spouse and I arrive, she was not too pleased with the noise from the street and the church bell that rings every 15 minutes, 24/7. But her attitute changed quickly because street noises comes and go. Most of the time it was quiet during weekdays. We also got used to the bells and 95% of time we did not even hear or remember them being there. Sergei the concierge was also super good arranging our iceland tours and gave us good suggestions. Kvosin is 2 blocks away from the best in downtown Reykjvik so its in good location.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, room with separate sitting room/kitchen area and terrace.
