Excellent service and lively location. The breakfast was delicious, and its staff was charming and helpful. One caveat in the rooms: our bathroom had granite floors and walls. There were no rails or grab bars. Although beautiful, it was VERY slippery when wet. Be extra careful! We would stay here again without hesitation and recommend The Sand Hotel to others.

We had a wonderful night at the Sand and an even better morning because their breakfast was amazing! A little hard to find the entrance because it’s tucked away off the street but other than that we had a wonderful stay! Staff was so helpful and kind.

STAY AWAY!!!!

The worst hotel experience I have ever had. I never write reviews but need to warn others to stay away from this hotel. We flew in overnight from New York and had booked 2 rooms for our family. Our room #229 was located in a wing of the hotel that backed up to a bar that played constant very loud live music . The room was shaking from the music and it continued late into the evening. It was impossible to sleep despite being exhausted after being awake for nearly 36 hrs. The representative said that it had been a problem for a while and that other guests had complained as well. They had no other rooms and would not refund us for the room as we had to leave the hotel that night and find another place to stay. They should not be renting out these rooms in this condition or at the very least warning guests prior to check in.

Sand Hotel was a "last minute" addition to our Reykjavik trip. This hotel did not disappoint. The rooms were spotless, modern, and super comfortable. Black out blinds were perfect and the beds were some of the best in Iceland. Super close to shopping, several restaurants and desert locations. I bit of walk (8-10 minutes) to the airport transfer pickup but it is all down hill so it is not a hard walk. Did I mention front desk staff here are amazing! Highly recommended.. Stay here!

The hotel was nicely located in a central area making it safe and easy to walk to shop or eat. The free breakfast was amazing and had some of the best food we had on our trip. There was a new bartender (young gentleman whose name I can’t remember) that was super friendly, gave us wonderful referrals for close by attractions and made our stay even better.

We enjoyed our stay her and would stay again. It is in the heart of downtown on a non-drivable section of the downtown. This makes it a little difficult re luggage loading/unloading but the hotel is well worth any minor inconvenience. Being downtown, especially weekends, it can be a little noisy if you retire early. But again, such a great hotel and so accessible to everything in Reykjavik city.
