The Radisson Blu Saga Reykjavik Hotel Review is part of the Whose Land? Iceland Trip Report which covers the following cities:
Getting There: The Saga Hotel is a twenty-minute walk from the city center or a five-minute taxi.
Location
After a long day traveling to and from the Glacier Lagoon, I stopped at the hot dog spot one more time before checking out of the Radisson 1919. I took a taxi to the Saga Hotel and arrived at midnight with only 12 hours to spend there before heading to the airport. Since it was Sunday night and the bars closed at 1:30AM, I didn’t mind that I was not in the heart of the action. At the same time, there is a lobby bar with multiple TVs, perfect for watching GS’s meltdown in the NBA Finals.
The Room
The room was basic but the bed was a lot more comfortable than the 1919.
The Bathroom
The bathroom was much smaller than the 1919 and had a spaceship for a shower.
The Hotel Itself
The hotel is old. There’s nothing wrong with it but I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here, especially if I had to pay for the room.
The Service
Like the 1919, the service at this hotel was great. The front desk was very helpful in arranging the bus to the airport.
Overall
Like this review, my stay at the Saga Hotel was brief. If you have Club Carlson points to burn and don’t want to pay the premium for 1919 then this is a suitable option.
You missed the best part-the Saga hotel prides itself on having the best buffet breakfast in Reykjavik – and I agree!!! Also right near the Icelandic national Museum, well worth a visit.
That I do regret. If it is anything like the 1919…but we were so exhausted from Iceland that waking up was not an option.
I was work at 1919 for one month a couple yrs ago when i study at iceland, 1919 is the worse hotel at reykjavik, i quit after one moth and work at other hotels.
