Location & Nearby

Hotel Holt is located on a quiet street but is still very close to the center of Reykjavik; as such, it is great for those who want to both be near the city’s action and still get a quiet night’s rest.

Within five minutes, you can walk to the lake of Tjornin and the National Gallery of Iceland; within ten, you can get to the spectacular church of Hallgrimskirkja, the shopping street of Laugavegur, and the downtown area. Meanwhile, the concert hall of Harpa and Old Harbor can be walked to in about 15 minutes.

Due to its central location, Hotel Holt is a perfect base for those looking to take day tours into the country. Golden Circle, South Coast, and Snaefellsnes sightseeing tours, as well as adventures such as snorkeling, caving, and glacier hiking, are thus easy to experience.

Facilities & Amenities

This decor is a significant part of the hotel’s appeal. The owners are proud art collectors, making the space as much of a gallery as an accommodation.
