I stayed here for 5 nights and couldn't fault anything with this hotel. The location was fantastic. A short 3 minute walk to bus stop 1 at the city hall. I got a bus from the airport to there and caught two different buses for tours to the golden circle and the northern lights as well. As a solo traveller this was perfect as there was nothing to worry about. There was also a free shuttle bus there to Grandi area.
There were numerous restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and bars in close proximity. You didn't really need to go very far after a long day out. The harbour, waterfront, shopping streets and main attractions were all at most 20 mins walk away in different directions (except Perlan which was 30-40 mins). The whole city was walkable. I didn't have to use any transport apart from going on tours.
The service at the hotel was excellent. Friendly and professional staff. Always someone available with a smile. The cleaning staff were extremely polite.
My room was super comfortable. The bed and pillow were perfect and I slept right through. I've seen others reviews highlighting noise being an issue. My room was on the third floor and located off a central quiet courtyard that didn't face onto the main road. It was super quiet. Yes, there were a few noisy guests who didn't know how to open and close doors quietly but I think that's expected in hotels as long as they are at appropriate hours, which they were.
It was a clean and simple room with no frills which is expected in the price compared to others. However, absolutely perfect for anyone who is out and about all day. There was adequate storage, a fridge, tea and coffee, a wine glass and bathroom products. Everything that you could need.
The breakfast was fantastic. A mixture of hot food such as bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, beans and hash brown. Warm porridge. Various cereals and breads with different spreads and condiments. Ham, tomatoes, boiled eggs, yoghurts, dried and fresh fruits, nuts and seeds, and little sweet treats. It was an array of choice.
I would definitely go back here every time for the amazing location and convenience of everything around.

I'll start by saying the staff is very helpful and are fantastic. When I arrived early from my flight they did their best to get me into my room early and even offered breakfast. After a long journey, I really appreciated the staff.
The room I was given, however, was so bad I left almost immediately and went to a new hotel. I had a bad feeling when I couldn't find my room, asked a staff member who was so kind to show me a back way, winding through hallways a la the backrooms and up an elevator I had to put a lot of trust in. At one point I thought I was in a Monty Python skit. When I got to the room, relieved to relax, the relief was cut short. There was holes in the wall, sideboards coming off, furniture partially destroyed. It looked in a really rough state. The bathroom floor was so cold I couldn't stand on it, and even when I turned on the heater, no heat came out of it for hours. By the time I left, the radiators still hadn't warmed up. The room was tiny and dark, and looked completely different from the room I booked. And I could hear *everything*, and I truly mean everything my neighbors were doing. It was simply not a room that I could relax in. I was so stressed out, and the jatlag surely didn't help, I found another hotel and checked out.
I'm quite disappointed by this experience because I've stayed at Center hotels before in Reykjavik and they were fantastic, so I'm not sure what's happening here. Perhaps I got the one room that's in dire need of TLC, I don't know.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Location is perfect for exploring Reykjavik. But the price you pay for the central location is it is very noisy at night until the early hours of the morning. We also appeared to have construction work being carried out in rooms above us, starting at 9am. Perfect if you're there for the nightlife but not if you're hoping to get some sleep

My friend and I had two large suitcases, and we could both lay them flat – the room was really spacious and comfortable. The only minor thing was that the duvet was a bit small, even for a woman, but it was very clean. Overall, very satisfied!

The hotel is nice but I felt it was a bit budget for the price. Very friendly and helpful staff. The tap was loose in the bathroom. In the bathroom of my room the sink area was too small.
The nightclub opposite the hotel can shaker the room with us bass. It is also in the center of Reykjavik so expect high traffic of people and cars creating noise. I personally was okay with it but it would have been nice if there was less noise. I would still half recommend.

It was just okay, not worth the price. There are definitely better options out there.

the location was great, easy to catch airport bus, right in the town center and walking distance to all the restaurant
28.12.2025
Overall, I enjoyed the stay, but the fact that walls are paper thick and your next door room people alarm can wake you up is annoying. Also, the sound of the wind bashing against the room window (6 floor) was annoying too. Location is the definitively the best.

Great central location, but parking is a bit tricky.
The hotel is right in the heart of Reykjavík, making it very easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and main attractions. The location is definitely the highlight. However, finding parking nearby can be difficult, especially during busy hours. Overall, a great choice if you plan to explore the city on foot.

Stayed here for 1 night when I arrived at Iceland from Copenhagen. The rooms was clean, tidy and spacious (@ level 2) However, the toilet setup is not really great as the fittings seems to be badly abused by others who stayed in that particular room.
My 2nd and 3rd night was after visiting the places of interest in the Eastern side of Iceland and pending my return leg to Copenhagen again. This time round, the room I got was still acceptable (@ Level 3). However, again the toilet condition is pretty bad. The sink visibly had cracked but luckily it was not leaking. This followed by the broken shower head at the location where the hose is connected. The hotel staff replaced it with a new one but the holder is not able to hold it in place. So I have to improvise it using a thick rubber band to hold it so that I can control where it is pointing.
The breakfast is great similar to other icelandic hotels. Seems like they serve almost the same type of buffet where-ever you go.
Other than the toilet, the rest of the hotel is fine. Centralized location and easy to move around.
