Reykjavik hotellit lähellä National Centre for Cultural Heritage

Plussat: The room was large by European standards. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Clean rooms, nice decor

Miinukset: Not best value for the money. Breakfast expensive

Plussat: Quiet, private.

Miinukset: I arrived at 7am but paid for the night before because I needed to sleep. At 12 noon it here was a nock on the door and a moment later a phone call. They wanted me to check out even though I had a five day reservation . Actually should not of been charged for the first day because I didn't get what I paid for, sleep. The staff was always to busy on the computer to acknowledge guest unless you engaged them.

Plussat: Great location. Quiet and close to everything. Room was adequate for my purposes and comfortable to sleep in. The staff was helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back.

Plussat: The location is great

Miinukset: There are so many more hotels in the area that in our opinion had much more to offer. We experienced a few hotels in the Reykjavik and the others were similar in price (if not less) and the staff was so wonderful and friendly, rooms were above and beyond and the amenities were far superior. Overall would give this a 3 out of 5 star.

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: 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: clean hotel, very comfortable, great breakfast included. heated bathroom floors and heated towel rack were exceptional

Miinukset: no shampoo/conditioner in rooms

Plussat: The facilities. The breakfast. The bathroom

Miinukset: Noisey. There's a lot of construction next door. It's 10-15 mins walk from the centre town.

Plussat: We loved everything about this hotel. Comfy rooms, breakfast variety, happy hour in the beer garden, great wolffish and chips, friendly and knowledgable staff in the restaurant and front desk, tour booking in reception, proximity to city centre, location of bus stop 12, the added touches of lemon water, coffee and macaroons in reception.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We only stayed one night after our blue lagoon experience. We loved the green level of this hotel. The location was great to walk downtown and visit some of the historic places. The food in the bar was exceptional.

Plussat: We liked the location near city center and the view out our 3rd floor balcony. The room was spacious and comfortable. The shower was especially welcome after a day of horseback riding and sightseeing. The restaurant in the hotel, Snaps was very accommodating by seating us near closing. They served an excellent meal.

Miinukset: On street parking was a little unnerving but turned out fine. It seems that after 6:30pm free parking on the streets is a free-for-all in Reykjavik with anything goes.

Plussat: The front desc staff were absolutely wonderful and most helpful in both the usual ways and also in requests that were less common, Like coming out to help me use the parking meter

Miinukset: We liked everything

Plussat: Attractive Scandinavian decor, perfect location, cheerful and knowledgeable 24 hour staff.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Working on the room above use for two days. Couldn't. Be in our room during the day to relax. While on vacation till after 18:00..

Plussat: The location was great with plenty of street parking nearby. We are only a few blocks away from the main church. You can easily walk anywhere n the Reykjavik area. The room was also comfortable and very clean. The Snaps restaurant is also great for a meal.

Plussat: Perfect location, great duvet cover & bed

Miinukset: No mirror in bedroom

Plussat: The location of the hotel is perfect for walking around the shops and grabbing dinner.

Miinukset: Our room was really small especially the shower. We both banged our arms on it trying to shower. Not what we are used to.

Plussat: The front desk staff was amazing. They helped us several time with questions we had We rented one of their apartments for a couple days and it was huge. Wonderful street views and easy walking distance to everything you need. We never ate at their restaurant but we have heard is very good and reasonably priced.

Plussat: Great location. Easy waking distance to harbor area. Very nice staff. Very good Breakfast. Restaurant extremely busy every night with locals and tourists so difficult to have dinner without reservation.

Miinukset: Very noisy until after midnight every night as patrons exited restaurant/bar and hung around on street below our bedroom. Recommend you request room at back of hotel or bring earplugs

Miinukset: We weren't notified in advance that Centerhotel had moved us to another hotel. We were exhausted from traveling and would have appreciated nothing more than going to sleep at the hotel we booked. The staff at the Arnarhvoll did order a taxi that took us to the new hotel. The hotel we were bumped to, Centerhotel Plaza, was in a better location in the downtown.

Plussat: Breakfast buffet is good and great views from the restaurant Room kept clean Staff friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Some cracks showing on the walls in the bedroom and the shaving mirror didn't light up show that it needs a little bit of attention on the maintenance front but nothing that impacted my comfort. The pillows were feather and were not very comfortable for me as I prefer a firmer synthetic pillow.

Plussat: The design of the hotel is great. Its very modern and sleek. The views are fantastic. Whether you're at the Sky Lounge or the comfortable lobby, you can clearly see the beautiful harbor and mountain range. The location of the hotel is also great. Its right by the downtown area and can easily walk to the strip without the barrage of traffic. The hotel is also 5 minutes from many museums and shops by the harbor and beyond.

Miinukset: Because of the central location, space is tight. The room offers minimal storage and the bathroom has a convertible shower that takes advantage space. The design was beautiful but the quarters were close. The breakfast was OK. It was the first meal I had where fish was not an option. The crumbled eggs were dry and actually crunchy. Bacon was either burnt or raw. However, the view from the top of the hotel easily distracted these inconveniences.

Plussat: A great hotel, staff great, great location

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 (?)
