In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Spotless, characterful rooms — Guests repeatedly praise the immaculate condition and unique decor. Parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi are standard.
- Genuinely helpful owners — The owners are noted for their warm, attentive service—offering daily weather reports, local recommendations, and booking help for excursions and restaurants.
- Quiet yet central location — On Laugavegur, within easy walking distance of Hallgrimskirkja, but far enough from downtown bar noise for a restful night.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small hotel, limited scale — With only 9 rooms, availability is limited and the hotel may feel more like a guesthouse than a full-service property.
- Adults only — Children are not accommodated, which may not suit all travellers.
- Paid parking and airport shuttle — Public parking is on site, but it is paid, and the airport shuttle also incurs a fee.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Late arrivals after 11 PM may find it difficult to check in unless arranged in advance.

8.8Verified guest“Though rated two stars, the Phoenix has a great central location and a modest exterior. Inside, the accommodation is wonderful with five-star service—the owners pay fantastic attention to detail, from immaculate rooms to a mint on the pillow each night and daily weather reports and local info at breakfast. They were very helpful with tips, arranging excursions, and booking restaurants. A wonderful place with professional, warm, and friendly owners; other tourists in pricier hotels were envious when we told them about our experience.”
