The Kvosin Downtown Hotel is a really nice hotel to stay in during a visit to Reykjavik.
All of the staff we dealt with were friendly, polite, courteous and went out of their way to ensure our stay was great. We booked a bigger room with kitchenette (room 305) which was spacious and more than big enough for 2 adults and 1 child, with plenty of room for us and our luggage. The room was clean and was serviced every day.
Just a couple of points about the room which didn't spoil our stay but are worth noting :-
- There is no toaster or microwave in the kitchenette (I think there is a shared microwave somewhere in the hotel if needed).
- In our room there was no table to sit and eat at (we did have a breakfast bar and to be honest other than breakfast we ate all of our meals outside of the room so this wasn't a problem)
- There was a strange noise throughout the night which was quite audible throughout the room. I think this was something on the hotel moving in the wind (it was quite windy during our stay) - again this didn't really bother us as we sleep with white noise on, but worth knowing.
The hotel itself is in a great location, very close to lots of restaurants and bars, extremely close to bus stop 1, close to the harbour and lots of other tourist hotspots around Reykjavic itself.
Despite the minor points above I would fully recommend this hotel.
