Hotel Odinsve, Reykjavík Hotels
Bright, modern hotel with decades of history, rooms and apartments, and a gourmet restaurant
Hotel Óðinsvé, a contemporary establishment situated in the very heart of Reykjavík’s captivating historical district, has been welcoming guests since 1984. Its prime location places it almost equidistant between the bustling harbor and the serene Tjörnin Lake, making it an ideal base for exploring the city’s cultural treasures.
A leisurely stroll of less than ten minutes will bring you to the picturesque Tjörnin Lake, where you can immerse yourself in art and culture at the renowned National Gallery of Iceland. For those seeking a more modern experience, the architectural marvel of Harpa Concert Hall is a slightly longer, yet rewarding, walk away. Dominating the cityscape, Hallgrimskirkja, the country’s tallest church, is a mere five-minute walk from the hotel’s doorstep.
Alternatively, embark on a vibrant journey down Rainbow Street, a colorful testament to LGBTQ+ pride, leading you to some of the city’s more unconventional attractions. Here, you’ll discover the intriguing Icelandic Punk Museum and the unique Icelandic Phallological Museum, both located within a convenient ten-minute radius.
Inside Hotel Óðinsvé, the rooms boast a contemporary and bright aesthetic, characterized by clean lines and Scandinavian design principles. While the Standard and Superior rooms may feel somewhat compact, those requiring additional space are encouraged to consider booking a suite or a triple room. For a quieter experience, rooms located at the back of the hotel are recommended. The spacious two-bedroom suite is an excellent choice for families of up to five individuals. Furthermore, ten well-appointed apartments are available in an adjacent building, offering fully equipped kitchens and enhanced privacy, making them perfect for extended stays or those who prefer a more self-sufficient experience. Certain Junior Suites also feature delightful balconies with panoramic views of the captivating city. All bathrooms are equipped with handheld showerheads that conveniently attach to the wall, and select suites also include luxurious bathtubs.
The hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, SNAPS, is a local and visitor favorite, seamlessly blending the charm of a French bistro with the unique flavors and style of Iceland. The bar provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere for relaxation and socializing. No matter where you choose to spend your time within the welcoming embrace of Hotel Óðinsvé, you can rest assured that the friendly and professional staff will attend to your every need, ensuring a memorable and comfortable stay in Reykjavík.

Wifi – Check On RequestIceland
Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
