The rooms were generally OK. The bathroom was an issue. The sink is so tiny, you can’t wash your hands in it without spilling water everywhere. The shower is essentially a glass telephone booth. If you drop something, you must be a contortionist to pick it up. The deluge of water that comes out rushes into the rest of the bathroom like a flood. You have to request extra towels and use the robes to mop it up. It feels like you’re in some sort of torture device and you can’t breathe while the water is coming out.

The property is clean and well-presented. It is in a very central and active location. Minimal or no view from most rooms. Our room was very challenged. The one outlet on each side of the bed was taken by the lamp, so if you need to plug anything in, you must unplug the lamp. The bathroom was bizarre and laughable. The basin portion of the sink was approximately 6 inches deep. It needed to be that small to fit in the tiny bathroom, but it was SO small that large hands just don’t fit in the sink. You end up running the water at the barest trickle so that not too much water splashes out as you rub your hands above the basin, directly beneath the faucet, which itself is three inches from the edge of the basin. Finally -the shower. Imagine a glass telephone booth. Don’t drop the soap, only a contortionist could retrieve it. There is no lip between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, so don’t you DARE open the door while showering. The drain worked alright but very slowly and there is no way it could keep up with the waterfall-worthy flow of water that quickly started to fill the little booth like some kind of Harry Houdini escape tank. Despite the best efforts at sealing the door, acre-feet of water rushes into the bathroom, requiring all your towels and even the bathrobes to mop up the mess. I am tall enough that I could dodge my head around the deluge, but my wife said it felt like a torture device and at her height she was fighting just to breathe.

The Sand Hotel was a wonderful place in a great location of Reykjavik. The rainbow road and church were right around the corner and the street of the sand hotel was full of restaurants and shops. The staff was super helpful with transportation needs such as booking bus tickets and calling taxis. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was delicious and super fresh! Overall, this was a wonderful stay!! Could not recommend more :)

Perfect location for exploring downtown Reykjavik. Very stylish hotel with nicely appointed rooms and comfortable beds. Hotel is located on a pedestrian street so you need to walk a block or so for parking/taxi and a few blocks for the bust stops (but it's very easy walking). Staff are exceptionally helpful and knowledgable. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent staff. We enjoyed our short two day stay prior to getting on a cruise. We had previously stayed for a week at this hotel and once again the room was very clean, the bed very comfortable and the complementary breakfast delicious.
