About this place Kvosin Downtown Hotel

Kvosin Downtown Hotel is a mainstream boutique hotel on Kirkjutorg, next to Austurvöllur square and Reykjavik Cathedral. It's gay-friendly, not a gay hotel. The location is about as central as Reykjavik gets: Laugavegur's shops and bars, the harbour and the city's small gay scene are all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. We have no confirmed details on room types or facilities, so check the hotel's website. Google reviews are good, at 4.6 from about 275 ratings.

The space is lovely! Two huge decks to have your morning coffee and organize your day. Located in the heart of the city- just a couple blocks from rainbow road. Around the corner from delicious restaurants!

First timer to Iceland and took a chance at the Kosvin hotel in July 2025. This hotel is PERFECTLY located to downtown area, you really can’t get a better location.(walkable to restaurants, bars, bakeries, pubs and stores). The ladies behind the reception desk at hotel: Alena and Anna were EXTREMELY helpful in planning out my tours and transfers. “Thank you so much for your help in booking tours”. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean and reset every night. Great hotel!

Great small hotel in downtown Reykjavík. Everything is close by and within a few minutes’ walk. The room was great, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. There is also a new bar in the lobby, which was awesome, with great cocktails. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely rooms, great location in the heart of Reykjavík, and a delightful bonus round of "Parking Credit Roulette" at checkout. Their own email cheerfully promises: "we can provide a credit towards your parking cost" via a "Parka Spons" once you're paying in the Parka app, just visit reception for validation. Reception's response? A confident "that doesn't exist, that's a lie." Bold strategy, considering it's their own marketing copy. I've paid upward of a thousand dollars to stay here, so watching someone dig in their heels over what amounts to a few dollars of parking credit was almost impressive in its commitment. Icelandic hospitality is usually legendary; this was more of a legendary plot twist. Rooms are nice enough to keep this at 3 stars rather than lower, but maybe train the front desk on what your own emails say before calling guests liars.
