Reykjavik hotellit lähellä National Cathedral

Plussat: Great attention to detail fine finishes good location parking

Miinukset: no staff on site as arrived late

Plussat: Privacy. Quiet. Modern. Small. Short walk from bus station and downtown main strip and church.

Miinukset: TV channels were comical. 800 channels only about 25 worked and all were multiply duplicated... But who goes to Reykjavik for the television??? Still, it could have been easier.

Plussat: Most cooperative and friendly staff. Great location too.

Miinukset: Rooms were a bit small.

Plussat: I really loved the hotel. Its about a 5 min walk either the shopping/bar areas or the water! But the staff was extremely helpful with everything!! They kept the hotel spotless and were great at suggestions for everything we inquired about! I would definitely stay there again!

Plussat: Our stay at the storm hotel was wonderul. The person at the desk even went out of their way to call our tour company when we missed out bus. The tour company sent a small van to just pick us up. So thankful for that desk person!

Plussat: + Only 5-10 mins to citycenter. Perfect for a nice walk through the heart of Reykjavik. + Clean and modern + Good complimentary continental breakfast + Happy Hours everyday + Onsite Parking

Plussat: The hotel is centrally located in Reykjavik and next door to some excellent restaurants. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.

Plussat: Location in town.

Miinukset: Ridiculous price for room that had no amenities. Paid five star price for two star motel. Room small, bed uncomfortable. Everything extra.

Plussat: Excellent location within walking distance to busy city center Great value for the money Friendly staff Prompt service from staff & housekeeping Nice little restaurant in the lobby

Miinukset: For some reason the TV was messed up most of the time (would get frozen on certain channels and would have to get up and turn it off). However, was not in the room much, so this was not a big issue.

Plussat: The location was very nice and central.

Miinukset: The hotel staff were rude and not helpful. One night there was so much noise from people talking and partying until 3:00 am. Could not sleep. The buses no linger pick you up at the hotel. It the walk to the bus stop is less than five minutes. It was still inconvenient with all our luggage. We did not know that when booking.

Plussat: Close to old parts of town. In fact, hotel is built over museum for first settlement.

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing. The best we had in Iceland! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and the rooms exquisitely clean!

Miinukset: It got a bit hot in the room at night, but it was a minor issue.

Plussat: Location was good.

Miinukset: Parking was listed but it was public parking. We had to drive around and parked a few blocks away.

Plussat: It was clean, desk staff were pleasant

Miinukset: The hotel had messed up the reservations. My reservation through Kayak was fine. However, a hotel block that was to be released 45 days before my arrival was still on the books (I was joining a hiking group) and they tried to get me to pay for that supposed reservation. In talking with the agency that had arranged the room block for this particular hiking group, this is not the first time that this hotel has done this. In addition, a friend of mine who had confirmed her reservation at Hotel Centrum before leaving the US, received an e-mail that they were overbooked and she had to go to another hotel---even though Hotel Centrum had double bookings and indeed did have rooms.

Plussat: Outstanding staff. Very clean. Very central. Convenient bar and restaurant.

Miinukset: Slow wifi.

Plussat: Location! You can not beat the location of the Centrum. Also the front desk staff is awesome. They can book all of your excursions for you and if you would like dinner reservations, they can suggest where and then make the reservations for you. The hotel bar happy hour was excellent if you like beer and craft cocktails.

Miinukset: The room size was a little small and there was no place for a second piece of large luggage. Also, even with the radiator in the off position, the room was extremely hot. We were forced to sleep with the windows open. The amount of noise coming from the street from cars and people at all hours of the night caused us not to get a good nights sleep in the 8 days that we were there. I wish I would have brought ear plugs.

Plussat: Classy breakfast buffet, wide spaces in the dorm rooms, not too cramped, evening shift front desk worker "Gary the Great" is a not a cool friendly dude, but extremely helpful.

Plussat: Friendly staff,decent location, clean dorms, nice locker for suitcase.

Miinukset: Not having bathrooms for both sexes on both sides of the floor. Layout of dorms not great. Bad internet

Plussat: Staff was very responsive to our request to change rooms. Rooms had a nice (small) outside sun deck.

Miinukset: It's a little far from the tourist area (shops and restaurants) but that might be an advantage as we got more exercise.

Plussat: This review is about the two floors of the hotel which are a hostel, not a hotel. They lend you a tiny (nearly a joke, I guess) lock to put on the small cubby boxes in the room. 1000ISK deposit. The kitchen contains dishwashers.

Miinukset: I stayed in a room with 12 or 14 beds. The doors on these rooms are "underdamped", meaning they are designed or adjusted to slam very very loudly if you let them close by themselves. It shakes not just the room, but is even obnoxious during the day if you're in a common kitchen or lounge down/across the hall. The door in my room was slammed AT ALL HOURS of the day except 12h30 -- 03h00 a.m. by the absurdly inconsiderate guests. The problem is that there is no effort by the hostel to tell people how to behave, and for some reason a large cross-section of the sample of young travellers in my room seem entirely oblivious to the surely-obvious effects of their actions on other people. There were no quiet hours announced. No one was told to close doors quietly. I was dumbfounded how people stayed up shouting, drinking, etc inside the dorm room (there are couches) until midnight, even when others were obviously trying to sleep, and the same people when they were on a different schedule, were up at 03h a.m. sharp talking loudly, and slamming the door countless times again. I mentioned to the staff that there was an educational solution (maybe) to this problem, but they didn't seem very interested. In addition to all that, the rooms, which look nothing nice as clean as in the pictures online (of course), have little cubby boxes below the beds where you supposedly can lock your valuables. The locking tabs are a bit of a joke, maybe, but in my room several were actually broken off anyway, so there was no way to lock them. This was my worst hostel experience ever.

Plussat: laid back fun atmosphere

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like

Plussat: Just the cutestest hostel ever. Very trendy, clean and comfortable. Spacious rooms, clean bathrooms and showers. Guests were very respectful. Had no trouble sleeping in the evenings. Great bar and sitting area in the reception area to drink and meet other travelers. Food was delicious at the restaurant. Excellent location, located on the main road, central in downtown. Most tours pick up just outside their door steps, as well as local bus stops. Although, it's easy to walk everywhere from there. Absolutely, love it and hope to stay there again one day.

Miinukset: No negatives.

Plussat: Decent price and location

Miinukset: Much dirtier in person Kitchen appliances don't work (stoves, ovens, microwaves) so use and need of kitchen is pointless People staying there do not clean their dishes, and cleaning crew doesn't do them either, so there's always a sink full of dirty dishes and no utensils. Advertises soap and shampoo provided yet they give 1 tiny bottle of shampoo that people end up stealing so no soap or shampoo Same with the soap in the bathrooms. No soap. Checked out a day early (almost 30 hours early) yet told that no refund would be given because not given 24 hours notice (?)

Plussat: easy to walk to some things

Miinukset: We made the mistake of using the Flyjet bus-- horrible mistake!!! We had 4 adults, 4 year old, and 20 month old, and had no idea that the bus would not take us to the hotel. Instead we had to transfer from big bus to small bus, hauling our luggage and placing on small bus. Then we were unloaded 2 blocks from the hotel, and had to haul our luggage up a hill to the hotel. Some stairs in the hotel to the first level to get to the elevator.

Plussat: Good location, nice building.

Miinukset: Difficult to get into hotel after-hours, must rely on frequently-absentee front desk employee to manually let in.

Plussat: Straight forward transaction. Very convenient location. Always had someone at the front desk. Breakfast was good.

Plussat: location, however no parking so finding parking on the street very difficult.

Miinukset: no parking; inadequate breakfast; uncomfortable and soft bed; very smelly room; noisy due to street noise.
