We chose this hotel because we'd heard about the art collection. It turned out to be a wonderful choice -- on a quiet street, yet close enough to the center of town that it was an easy walk to restaurants and shopping. The staff was unfailingly gracious and friendly, the entire building is practically an art museum, and the attached restaurant (the Gallery) was excellent.

We booked a suite -- very roomy, clean, and comfortable.

This is my husband's second trip to Iceland. The first time, he stayed in a recommended hotel with a really grumpy staff. This time, at the Holt, he found his stay much nicer.

The Holt has an interesting history behind it, which a guide told us. Apparently, the art collection belonged to a man who grew up dirt-poor, the son of a house cleaner, who earned his fortune in the hospitality industry and was renowned for helping poor Icelandic artists by purchasing their art when no one else would. This exquisite collection is the result.

Stayed here for a week during my birthday. Had the most amazing time, the staff ( so sorry I can't remember the names but the brunette at the front desk,the concierge who helped with my wi fi and the blond gentleman-I think the manager were all exceptional) were all super friendly, helpful and sweet. The artwork within the hotel was mesmerizing and the Christmas lunch at the restaurant was delicious. Room was comfortable and hotel was a very short walking distance to the main strip. Loved the Hotel Holt and would definitely stay again.

The hotel is a little bit out of the city center but still within walking distance(about 15 minutes). We stayed 3 nights. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was good. People at the front desk were very helpful.
I would gladly stay at this hotel again. Overall quality and reasonable price make it a very good find

We needed to make a very short notice reservation here and the hotel was very accommodating and helpful. We reserved a junior suite and a double room. The double was small for the two 21 yr old girls - my daughter and niece , but that was mostly due to the amount of clothes they scattered around the room . The junior suite was perfect! It had two large rooms, a bedroom and lovely sitting room that would accommodate at least 6 or more visitors very comfortably for a gathering or meeting . The bathrooms were both more than adequate, although it took a very long time to fill the tub in the suite and the water needed a long time to get hot. but, this was of very little inconvenience . The location is nice also as it is not too far from the harbor area or the center downtown but is also very quiet at night. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms stayed very warm at night. We did not eat breakfast there as the girls wanted to go out but we did have one dinner there that was very tasteful and the service was flawless. The girls were "needing" some relaxation after two nights of Iceland Airwaves and the people at the desk were helpful in arranging massages for them at the hotel. We had one situation were we felt we did not get a good deal and that is with room service for dinner. We had to wait 45 minutes for sandwiches and then when they arrived , the sandwiches were cold and the ice cream was melted by the time the food arrived at the room and for over $100 for 3 sandwiches and melted ice cream, it was a BIG disappointment. BUT, other than that everything was excellent and I would definitely return here again. Thank you!
