Great location, great service, could be cleaner

The location was great--right in the middle of town. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. The front desk staff was helpful and courterous. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the room--the shower curtain had mildew on it, the tub didn't drain at all, dust bunnies all over the place, and the room wasn't cleaned properly for our entire stay.
Hotel Borg

Besides the beautifully designed rooms with an old world feel, location is the biggest asset to staying at the four-star Hotel Borg. As the oldest hotel in the city, Hotel Borg boasts a prime location by Parliament Square and is surrounded by Reykjavik's plethora of restaurants, bars, and shops. Because the square is in the heart of the city's all-night party crowd, the hotel may not be the best choice for those seeking serenity. However, bars and live music venues with young Icelanders flooding into the narrow streets at 3am is undoubtedly an intrinsic part of the Reykjavik experience that should not be missed.
