Hotel Borg Reykjavik

Hotel Borg in Reykjavik offers an elegant and luxurious stay with its Art Deco design and prime city centre location. Overlooking Austurvöllur Square, this iconic hotel features stylish rooms, a renowned restaurant, and a relaxing spa. Guests can enjoy great service, modern amenities, and easy access to Reykjavik’s cultural landmarks and vibrant nightlife.

Hotel Borg is Reykjavik’s most expensive hotel and offers a great 56-room hotel with classical art deco design. My experience started with a warm Icelandic welcome at check-in, after a small talk I was given the key, but not escorted to the room. I stayed in a very impressive suite with two Bang&Olufsen TVs, a comfortable bed, complimentary high-speed internet and a separate shower from the bathtub. Hotel Borg recently won an award at the World Travel Awards for Iceland’s best hotel, and as I liked Hotel 101, I was excited to see how good the service could be here.

After my stay, it’s easy to conclude the stay is overall great. In some situations, the service was a little slow, like at check out where I waited 5 minutes, but otherwise, I was impressed with the attitude of the staff. Especially, the restaurant manager of Borg Restaurant, located just next to the lobby, where I had a great dining experience.

The stay ended with a great breakfast. High-quality items in the buffet and kind, charming service. The bottom line is that Hotel Borg is one of Reykjavik’s best hotels. I like both this classical hotel and the design hotel, Hotel 101, and it’s really hard to pick a winner. In my book, they are both great experiences.
