About
Hotel Hilda - Reykjavik
Hotel Hilda is a modest 15-room property on Barugata 11, in the heart of Reykjavik. It sits roughly 650 metres from the Aurora Reykjavik Northern Lights Center, with the old harbour, city centre, and a string of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The hotel keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, free toiletries, and parquet floors in the rooms.
Room types range from a Standard Single to a Classic Family Room, with all featuring showers and heating. Superior Doubles and Twins add a balcony, and one Standard Single looks out over a garden. Public parking is available nearby, which is a plus in central Reykjavik. The vibe is quiet and minimal, with staff who are known for being helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Walkable to the city centre and harbour — Guests consistently mention the proximity to the old harbour, bars, restaurants, and the BSI terminal, making it a practical base for exploring Reykjavik.
- Quiet and clean rooms with comfortable beds — Several reviews highlight the clean, minimal decor, soft beds, and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a restful stay after a day out.
- Helpful and knowledgeable staff — Front desk team appreciated for being informative and eager to assist with tips and local info.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small hotel with limited rooms — With only 15 rooms, the property feels intimate but may lack the facilities of a larger hotel (no gym or restaurant on site).
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel policy explicitly forbids animals.
- Check-in window is late — Check-in only opens at 15:00 and runs until 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals unless you can store bags.
- Breakfast not always praised — While some reviews mention a tasty breakfast, it's not listed among the amenities, so it may be an extra – and a couple of reviews don't mention it at all, suggesting it varies.
