Þingholt by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The room was warm due to the unexpected night temperatures. Comfortable bed."

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, modern hotel in a great location. Rooms are smallish, but efficient and comfortable. The spa consists of a hot soaking pool and dry sauna, and a fitness area would be a useful improvement, but it was a nice place to relax after a day of touring. Breakfast is excellent, and we were happy to have this as a “home base” for our Reykjavik centered vacation."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great communication with the host, the property is clean. The location is walking distance to the main attractions in Reykjavik. Breakfast is brought in the fridge daily and at 8am we get the fresh bread bake from Sanholt! Excellent serbice from the reception.On our first day our power went out when we plugged in our power cord and the reception staff came to the apartment to get it fixed. Thank you - this is greatly appreciated."

Center Hotels Laugavegur

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is ok, location is a bit off the beaten path probably an additional ten minute walk from the centre of things but honestly my problem is the staff. The first few days we were there there was a middle aged women at the desk and you could tell she hated her job she was rude and short with everything that was asked. I wouldn’t stay there again based on her attitude and demeaner, I want someone happy I’m spending my money with them and to help me feel welcome and enjoy my vacation."

Fosshotel Barón

8/10 Good

"Good location, across the road from the Sun Voyager. Currently, quite a bit of construction around the property, which is unsightly. Parking is available but expensive. The discount offered by the hotel is appreciated. Room was OK. A bit small, as well as the bathroom, especially shower. Bed was very comfortable! The Hotels.com VIP drink was delightful. All in all, very decent hotel in a very expensive city!"
