Extremely disappointed in this hotel. We cancelled our reservation and apparently they ignored the message charged me. The hotel sent us instructions for how to get in at two in the morning. Horrible communication and a horrible experience.

Home away from home

The Hotel Lotus is a great hotel and has a modern feel. This was our 2nd time staying at Hotel Lotus. At the beginning of our trip to Iceland we spoke with the Owner of the hotel and told her we were coming back at the end of our trip and how we really liked the accommodations and location. The Owner had upgraded our rooms for our return which was really nice. Unfortunately, we had to return early from our tour because of the bad weather, but it was really nice having the upgraded room for our now two day stay. We highly recommend this Hotel, the staff and the owner were wonderful, the rooms were great especially the heated bathroom floor, the beds and pillows were comfortable, and the breakfast selections were good.

A quaint hotel with modern flair!

Hotel Lotus is a wonderful hotel. Its modern updated style is nice and the room and beds are very comfortable. It has a nice selection of breakfast foods and is location within walking distance of downtown Reykjavik. We chatted with the owner and she was very nice. She provided recommendations of things to do and see.
