The refurbished rooms are nice and comfy with good beds. The old rooms not so good. Once the hotel is finished refurbishment it will be great. Only about 10min walk from town.

Nice hotel. Nice room. Good breakfast. But bathroom door was "hard" to open and could not be kept open

An OK Stay
We stayed here recently on a mid-week trip to Iceland. The hotel was a short walk to the town centre and all the main sights. The hotel is being renovated and it needs it. Our room was on the small size and had seen better days. But it was clean and very quiet. The bathroom was OK (plenty of hot water) but it all needs updating. The free breakfast was good - I loved the cereal, local berries and skyr. The coffee was OK too. The main restaurant was closed for dinner on the day we arrived, so we had the evening buffet. It was not great - and quite expensive - but it was good enough (and the chocolate brownies were good!). The hotel wifi was OK but not very fast. We got free tickets to the local geothermal outdoor swimming baths - that was fun (sitting outside in just above freezing temperatures in a gusty rainy day - wow). I would avoid this place until the renovations are complete.response / report this review -

Very outdated. There are refurbishment going on but not finished until 2019. Room very tired. Mattresses sagged in the middle. Rang reception they didn't care. Rang later in the day they could do nothing as fully booked but moved us next day to an upgraded room. Some reception staff could be friendlier. Housekeeping very nice. Breakfast buffet selection is good as long as you don't want your food hot but tepid. It is a shame as in its heyday I'm sure it was a stunning hotel.

Good hotel in the west of the city, about 15 minutes walk to the shops and bars area of Reykjavik. The rooms are cleana and simple, though could do with some modernising. Also, the shower head is rather low, at over 6' it wasn't the easiest to use. The bar downstairs was being renovated on our visit so not much seating, but it serves a reasonable range of drinks and snacks. Breakfast buffet was good, though expensive. There are a few small cafes nearby that are worth the walk for something smaller and cheaper. Overall a decent hotel that, although a little out of the way, is great for exploring the city.

My stay here was very underwhelming. The location was convenient to the city center and the rest of Reykjavik, especially by car.
The room was very small with an extremely small shower and bathroom. The shower was a very small booth which led to constantly bumping my elbows and knees on the walls. The water temperature seemed to be in a constant state of flux from hot to cold. Additionally, the drain did not drain properly causing me to stand in ankle deep water throughout the shower.
The in-room hairdryer functioned for less than 90 seconds then suddenly stopped.
The walls and ceiling are extremely thin which meant I could hear every door close, footstep, closet close and luggage roll the floor from the rooms at either side and above me. I could easily hear voices and alarms through the walls. The noises all around me made for a very difficult and restless night and are the single largest reason I cannot recommend this hotel.
During my stay there was some kind of construction ongoing as well. I was not informed about this construction by the front desk upon check-in, but was very abruptly awoken by the sound of loud construction equipment in the mid-morning.
As many other reviewers have noted, the room was dated and generally uncomfortable.
I have two more nights booked here next week. I will ask the front desk if I can be moved to a quieter part of the hotel upon my next check-in and will update my review based on that experience.response / report this review -

Swung though here for a wonderful cocktail. Very nice staff and a great stop off to warm up a bit while wandering the streets. The hotel looked really nice too. Definitely would consider staying here next time I'm in town.

Good hotel. Excellent breakfast variety. In need of a shop in the lobby. Close to Laugavegur - which has great nightlife activity. When going on tours, you will probably be the first pickup and last drop off as it is a bit outside of the central town area. Rooms are very neat and clean. There is a Dominos pizza place about 500m away.

Hotel was in a good location, close to town. With the breakfast inclusion it is very eonomical. My room was a little small but clean and I appreciated that I was able to get in early with such an early arrival. There is a seafood restaurant down the street opposite of town and it was inexpensive and very good, a Thai restaurant too. All in all a good choice.

We've been to a couple of Radisson Blu hotels. This one is not nearly up to standard. Decor and Bathrooms are ancient and dowdy. The room advertised on Expedia is nothing like the room we had ( though similar to previous Radisson Blu hotel we had visited). We visited while renovations were being done which did not help. However, the staff were always friendly and helpful.

Room was very small. Walls were dirty.
Hallways dark and dingy with old carpeting. Very substandard. WiFi was poor in the room. Would not recommend. Staff was nice.response / report this review -

Recommended, if a little too pricy.
The room shown below is a business class room.
Generally good location - 20 minutes walk from the pier, where you can eat great homemade food, and about 15 minutes from the Reykjavik Hard Rock Café that literally rocks!
Staff is friendly and relaxed, nothing too formal, nothing too clumsy - just right.
Bathroom included a very nice bathtub, great for relaxing after a long day of exploring.
There are 2 restaurants located on this hotel - one downstairs, that acts as a morning, lunch and dinner buffet. The one upstairs is more of a fine restaurant, but I HIGHLY recommend checking it out; it's not too expensive, the food is incredibly good, and you'll leave thinking about your taste buds a whole different way. Seriously, consider it. More info is in the elevators. It's on the top floor.
The reason for the deducted star comes from 2 reasons:
1: The price.
2: We arrived at around 10am, being told our rooms (3 of them) would be fine by then. We arrived, and were told none of them were ready. Not a single one. We dropped of our luggage and were told that, ah well, they'd be ready soon. How soon? 4 hours. That's not soon when they should've been ready when we arrived, Radisson. Especially not for business class rooms.response / report this review -

We arrived early in the morning and they accommodated us. Our room was very nice, but the water/drains do have a mild sulphur smell. I believe that might be normal due to the natural source of the water. We had a business class room with breakfast included. Breakfast was nice with a large selection of items. The location is good also, 15 minute walk from the city center.

Wonderful place to stay. It's located less than 10mins away from downtown. Rooms are clean and modern at reasonable prices.

I've stayed at the Radisson Blu Saga Hotel several times in the past couple of years. They're located a short walk to the downtown area. While I was there, they've been in the process of renovating. Occasionally there was noise from the construction, but it's only during the daytime. The renovated rooms are pretty nice. The hotel has always appeared clean and the staff friendly. I've enjoyed my times spent there

Staff was great; friendly, professional and accommodating. Rooms were out dated, seemed more like freshman dorm room than a getaway vacation hotel room. Breakfast buffet tasty, bar menu ehhh not so much; open blt sandwich and fish & chips were oily, luke warm and reminiscent again of dorm life. Convenient walk to downtown but the price definitely reflects quality of those extra amenities that other hotels just do better. For our bachelor parties purpose it was fine, I plan on going back to Reykjavik but I wouldn't stay here, not with my gf.

Ok business hotel that's mid life so not up to current standards but functional and only 10 minutes outside the center. Was going through a refit when I was there which was to be finished end of 2017, did not really effect my stay.

Tired business hotel in the centre of town, rooms are old fashioned and poorly maintained with peeling wallpaper and lots of nicks and scrapes on the furniture. Bathrooms are very 70s and water pressure is a constant problem.
Staff is friendly and try to make the best of the situation, bars and restaurants are efficient and the food is fine. Amenities like pool and saunas were under renovation and wholly unavailable.
Even accounting for the higher than average hotel prices in Iceland this hotel simply does not seem worth it.response / report this review
