The hotel is dirty and old. The towels have stains. The outlet is not working on one side. The staff basically asked you to check in yourself by entering the details yourself on their iPad. No service at all.

The breakfast is really good. Very friendly service at the reception, they made you feel home. The style of this hotel is very homey, from the art to the smell. If you are looking for an Icelandic experience, over typical international brands, the Art Hotel will offer that.

Had the great pleasure of coming here again at the end of my Iceland trip. The junior suite offered was amazing and well worth for space though the basic room was great too. Again staff were kind and welcoming, remembering that I stayed at the hotel a week ago.

Hotel Holt was a fantastic find for us! It is a throwback to days glamore! It is a beautiful facility well maintained and very clean. We loved looking at all the art prices hung through out the Hotel and rooms. It really does give that 50-60s vibe! We even had a real key for our room. Really loved staying there.

I think Hotel Holt is a nice boutique hotel with all you need. It’s small but all details and needs are being catered. Hotel management is running it with heart which you can see in many aspects. I think this hotel. We didn’t have the breakfast so can’t comment on it but overall experience is good. The price is a bit pricey but it’s okay as we are in city centre. Well located and just a few minutes walk to the Main Street. And the best overall, they have car park and it’s free….

We're delighted to hear that you found our boutique hotel to be well-appointed and that our attention to detail and care made your stay enjoyable.

This super old hotel is still a four-star hotel. There is a lot of dust and the door is still opened with a key... The kettle is dirty, but the breakfast is very good. The quality is high with few people ~ Recommended for breakfast

The hotel is decorated in a very elegant and retro style, with many exquisite artworks and paintings on display. The breakfast is rich and the dining environment is also very artistic. The front desk staff is warm and friendly, and will take the initiative to introduce relevant information about Iceland tourism. Except that the room is a little small, everything else is very satisfactory. It is a very cost-effective hotel.

The hotel has a special ancient and mysterious atmosphere and a strong sense of design. The accommodation room is very comfortable and large, the toilet is very spacious, all facilities are very complete, the service attitude is excellent, and they will tell you the best place to watch the aurora. The breakfast is also delicious, I will come back to stay
