"The Alda Hotel was the perfect hotel to stay in during our trip to Reykjavik. It was very clean, the bed was so comfortable, and it was located close to restaurants, the church, shopping, and most importantly Broad and Co. Would stay here agin for sure. "
"Nice breakfast and comfortable rooms. We didn't get in until really early like 1am and they were very helpful. On the 2nd morning we had to leave early so we all got bagged breakfasts included. The location is right on the edge of old town and even better is at a bus stop for the airport and pickup for all the tours."
