Oddsson Downtown Hotel, Reykjavik

Amenities & Services

The hotel offers free private parking on-site without a reservation, a rare find near Reykjavik's shopping street. Guests use a self check-in system with a key code for the entrance and room, enabling flexible arrivals. A luggage storage room in the basement, accessible with the same door code, allows early arrivals or late departures to explore unencumbered.

Rooms

Each unit has a fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, stovetop, and toaster, allowing guests to prepare meals and lower trip costs. Rooms include a wardrobe, flat-screen TV, private bathroom with a hairdryer, and hardwood or parquet floors. Some studios have a kitchenette with a coffee machine and a dining table with chairs, plus soundproofed walls and city views.

Dining

A coffee shop on site serves guests with pastries and fresh bread, and a direct interior door connects the hotel to the bakery so guests can grab breakfast without going outside. The bakery offers a discount to hotel guests (guests must inform the staff at the counter). Restaurants are within a 10-minute walk, including a food hall down the street, making self-catering in the kitchenette a practical alternative to Reykjavik's dining costs.

The hotel sits in the Reykjavík East district, 1.3 km from Solfar Sun Voyager and less than 1 km from Hallgrímskirkja Church. Laugavegur Shopping Street is under a 10-minute walk, and bus stop 16 for tours is directly outside the building. Reykjavík Domestic Airport is 2 km away, and the BSI bus depot for airport shuttles is a 15-minute walk.
