The hotel's website proudly proclaims: "A Reykjavik icon, Iceland's first luxury hotel. From its elegant facade to the Art Deco interiors Hotel Borg combines sophisticated comfort, excellent service, and a superb location. A stay at the Borg is a stay to remember." They're absolutely right about one thing: it is a stay to remember—just not for the reasons they intended. The elegant façade is where the luxury experience reached its high-water mark. Once inside, the atmosphere had all the warmth of a morgue. It felt less like checking into Iceland's first luxury hotel and more like being admitted to cold storage. If "sophisticated comfort" means a room with the ambience of an embalming suite, then expectations have certainly been met. Rather than creating the impression of a luxury property, I found dead and neglected planters outside and graffiti on the walls leading to the entrance. It's hardly the grand arrival one would expect from a hotel describing itself as Iceland's first luxury hotel. The journey to the front door felt more like approaching a neglected mortuary than a five-star destination. The staff had all the warmth of undertakers at the end of a long shift. Every interaction felt cold and mechanical, and "excellent service" appeared to have been pronounced dead long before I arrived. The room itself did little to revive my opinion and the overall atmosphere suggested that comfort had been embalmed years ago. To make matters worse, some rooms back directly onto Lemmy's Rock Bar. On the Saturday night of my stay, the party was in full swing well into the night. Instead of the peaceful night's sleep you'd expect from a luxury hotel, my friend was treated to hours of late-night music and noise. Sleep was officially declared dead on arrival. (noisy room 222) The facilities were equally surprising for a hotel marketing itself as a luxury destination. There was no room service, the restaurant only served breakfast with no lunch or dinner service, there was no hotel bar, and no comfortable lounge area to relax in. Once breakfast was over, the hotel seemed to shut down completely, leaving the building with all the ambience of a beautifully decorated mausoleum—impressive to look at in places, but strangely devoid of life. Yes, the location is excellent—but a superb location alone cannot compensate for the lack of facilities, the noise, and an atmosphere that felt remarkably lifeless. The website wasn't entirely wrong. A stay at the Borg is a stay to remember. Unfortunately, my lasting memory is of a hotel that felt less like a luxury destination and more like Hotel Morgue: outwardly elegant, but inside cold, silent, and missing every vital sign that brings a great hotel to life. If the goal was to create an authentic morgue experience, congratulations—they nailed it. If the goal was to provide a comfortable hotel stay, the verdict is cause of death: complete neglect. I'd sooner book a cemetery plot than spend another night here.
The Hotel Borg is perfectly located in central Reykjavik. Restaurants and grocery stores are super close. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. I liked the fact that they had traditional Icelandic foods and signs explaining it. There is no AC in the rooms and they run pretty warm. You can open the balcony doors, but there are no screens. Rooms are an ok size, but more on the smaller side. I had no issues during our stay, but the couple we traveled with had to change their room twice. Once because the room itself had a funky smell and the other was due to a mildew smelling shower curtain. There are only like four parking spots on the street in front of the hotel, so unloading is a bit of a challenge. Parking is available in the underground garage under city hall. It’s a short walk and recommend using the Parka app.
Centrally located and close to bus stop 3, this was an excellent choice for a long weekend. They accommodate a request for two twin beds. The staff was friendly and helpful; the room was well appointed and clean.
Unfortunately this lovely hotel no longer controls it's catering / breakfast side. Whilst the hotel itself is good, the breakfast is by far the worst I have ever encountered. Coffee is batch premade and undrinkable, the food selection is both cheap and poor. Staff can't be be bothered to make a proper coffee on the machine, both days. So very sad
This review request popped up years later but what a classy and great hotel. They have one of the only hot spas in the city hotel system, staff helped us plan day trips and places to eat and the location is tops. I can not recommend this hotel enough!!!
