About
Hotel Vera
Hotel Vera is a small, 12-room property right on Laugavegur, Reykjavik's main shopping and dining street. Its position puts you within easy walking distance of the city's key sights, including Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus, 16 minutes away on foot. The hotel is straightforward and self-sufficient: rooms come with kitchenettes, and check-in is contactless with a code, making late arrivals simple.
Each studio is spacious and modern, with parquet floors, a sitting area, and tea and coffee facilities. Some rooms include a Nespresso machine, and at least one has a private balcony – a guest even spotted the northern lights from it. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, and pets are not allowed, keeping the atmosphere quiet and clean.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Unbeatable central location — On Laugavegur, Reykjavik's main shopping street, with bars, restaurants, and landmarks just steps away. The main bus station is also close by, making it easy to explore further afield.
- Spacious, well-equipped studios — Rooms are large and modern, each with a kitchenette that includes a microwave, electric kettle, and sometimes a dishwasher or Nespresso machine. Guests highlight the comfort and convenience for light cooking.
- Easy self check-in — Contactless entry with a code means you can arrive late without waiting for staff. This was particularly appreciated by guests with mobility needs and those on late flights.
- Free on-site parking — Unlike many central Reykjavik hotels, Hotel Vera offers parking, which is a practical bonus if you're exploring Iceland by car.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score is the weakest point — The hotel's facilities rating is notably lower than other categories, suggesting the building or shared areas are basic – there's no mention of a gym, restaurant, or lounge.
- Comfort rating falls below average — While rooms are described as spacious and warm, the comfort score is the second-lowest, possibly reflecting furniture or bedding inconsistencies across studios.
- Limited on-site services — With only 12 rooms and no full restaurant or front desk after hours, guests looking for concierge services or a more traditional hotel experience may find it lacking.
- No pets allowed — The hotel is strictly non-smoking and does not welcome pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
