Nice casual atmosphere in lobby, several large rooms with comfortable sofas for reading and relaxing. French restaurant is popular with locals and food is average for a french restaurant in that price range but very over the top formal. Hotel bar was dead. Rooms were nice and a good size. The art work throughout the hotel was a treat and... more

Just got back from 3 nights at Hotel Holt. Very nice hotel, beautiful art throughout, very comfortable. Stayed with my 19 year old daughter. It's very close to everything, good breakfast buffet included since I booked on Expedia. Tiny exercise room but access free to gym about 2 miles away, convenient by bus and car. Would totally recommend it as... more

We had been camping on Greenland and had a week in Iceland to pamper ourselves on our return to "civilisation". A good move (as it turned out ) as we ended up being trapped in our tents for days when the heavens opened (in fairness to Greenland, it had been fantastic prior to that). We arrived at the Hotel with... more

OK, so let me start by saying that hotel standards are quite different in Iceland - most are basic, utilitarian properties. Hotel Holt was quite surprising in that it has both the charm of a true old world boutique hotel and you can get a nicer-than-normal room (junior suite, in our case) without breaking the bank (even with the supposedly... more

We stayed at the Hotel Holt for 4 nights in a very comfortable warm clean room facing the back. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty and we ate in the Hotel one night too - v good but a little more expensive. We booked all our trips through the hotel and everything went... more

I did tons of research about locations of hotels in Reyjkavik and eventually booked a Junior Suite in the Hotel Holt. It seemed like a good location -- close to the main shopping street but not right on top of it so that the noise would be a problem. It does get noisy on the main strip (clubs, live music,... more

In June 2007 I decided to take a trip to Iceland. I selected the Holt Hotel based on what I saw here. I must say that the hotel was clean comfortable and the personal were very nice. The hotel was in easy walking distance to the so called downtown area and also to the water. It was easy to walk... more

This was my first (but not last) trip to Iceland, so after sorting out guide book recommendations and online comments, I booked Holt for a four night stay. At check in, I was informed that the room I booked wasn't available, so they upgraded me to a jr suite on the fourth floor facing the city center pond. The room... more

The travel company we used let us down, and we found ourselves without any reservation when we arrived. The outstanding hotel manager not only came in on his day off, but gave us a significantly reduced rate on a junior suite, and threw in breakfasts for both of us for the whole of our stay (four nights). Our first night... more
