Large modern hotel with sleek contemporary rooms, a restaurant, two rooftop terraces, and a spa

Overview

Enjoy a comfortable stay in the modern rooms of Hotel Reykjavík SAGA, just one block away from the picturesque Lake Tjörnin. You can stroll the lake within two minutes and reach the National Gallery of Iceland in three. The hotel stands on Lækjargata, a historic street with some of the oldest buildings in Reykjavík. If you're looking to soak in some of Iceland's famed natural phenomena, the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon, the diverse activities and sights of Þingvellir National Park, and the country's largest natural lake Þingvallavatn are all within an hour's drive.

Opened in 2022, Hotel Reykjavík SAGA offers 125+ modern rooms with a clean style of straight lines and a mix of neutral and dark monochrome colors. Rooms are spacious, and the suites and Family Deluxe options can sleep up to three on sofa beds. For a bit more room and privacy, check out the suites, which are split-level. All rooms include sleek black-tiled bathrooms with rainfall showers, and the suites also have bathtubs for extra relaxation. Accessible options are available for those with limited mobility.

Have a meal of local dishes at the cozy Fröken Reykjavík Kitchen & Bar, or head up to one of the two large roof terraces to take in the ambience and views of the city. There's also an outdoor patio and glass atrium, both of which are great places to enjoy a drink. If you're looking to decompress after a day of exploring, relax in the spa with its steam bath and sauna.

I'm a kimkim staff member and stayed at this hotel for two nights during my Iceland trip. The Saga Hotel is a lovely boutique hotel with simplistic nordic design. It has a very central location. Restaurants, cafes and shops are in a few minutes walking distance. The hotel offers beautiful views over a lake which was frozen and covered in snow when I was there. The rooms are spacious with decent sized bathrooms and walk-in showers with a rain shower. Comfy bathrobes and slippers are provided.... Read more

I'm a kimkim staff member and stayed at this hotel for two nights during my Iceland trip. The Saga Hotel is a lovely boutique hotel with simplistic nordic design. It has a very central location. Restaurants, cafes and shops are in a few minutes walking distance. The hotel offers beautiful views over a lake which was frozen and covered in snow when I was there. The rooms are spacious with decent sized bathrooms and walk-in showers with a rain shower. Comfy bathrobes and slippers are provided. Each room is equipped with a nespresso coffee machine, a kettle, variety of teas, cups, glasses, a little fridge, ironing facilities and a smart TV. The highlight for me was the little platter with local chocolates and grapes which was prepared on my room as a welcome gift!
The hotel has a restaurant and bar area where breakfast is served in the morning and a la carte dinner in the evening. Hotel guests receive 10% discount in the restaurant.
The breakfast is served in buffet style and offers a variety of local Icelandic products such as Skyr yoghurt, smoked salmon, Icelandic butter, bread and cheeses and freshly baked pastries. Additionally, a choice of freshly prepared eggs, bacon, sausages was available as well as fruits, nuts, cereals, fresh juices, ginger shots, tea and coffee. Only the buffet area is kept on a small space and can get cramped during the busy breakfast hours.
The hotel has a small fitness room equipped with a treadmill, cross-trainer, bike, one bench and some free-weights. The little wellness area of a Finish Sauna, a steam room and a quiet chill-out area. The gym and sauna area is open from 7am in the morning, however the staff opened it once at 6am for me as I had to leave early in the morning. In general every staff member I spoke to was super friendly and helpful and welcomed everyone with a warm, genuine smile!

The hotel has a strong focus on sustainability and doesn't clean the room every day. If a guest is staying for several nights and would like to have the room cleaned daily, they need to report this to the reception.

The Hotel Reykjavík Saga was a great choice for our stay in Reykjavik. The breakfast buffet was outstanding and offered a great variety. It was one of the highlights of our accommodations during this trip.
