The location is unbeatable—situated on a quiet street just a short walk from Hallgrímskirkja and Rainbow Street, with a grocery store only five minutes away. While the property feels quite dated, the rooms are comfortable. My only mild annoyance was the traditional key system; the hotel requires you to leave your key at the front desk whenever you go out. It’s a bit of a hassle to wait in line just to get into your room at the end of the day, while the staff attended to other guests. If Hotel Odinsve upgraded to a modern key card system, the guest experience would be significantly improved.
