The staff was very friendly. We stayed in two rooms while we were in iceland and both were very nice and well decorated. The area was great for us, right in the middle of everything. We will definitely be stayed here if we find ourselves back in Iceland.

We loved our stay at the City Center Hotel. The hotel was a short walk from the shuttle bus drop off. There is plenty of dining and shopping nearby. The hotel staff was friendly, giving suggestions on what to see and do while in Reykjavik. We would definitely stay at City Center Hotel again!

A great hotel located right in the middle of downtown. Easy to walk all over the place. Friendly front desk staff. Nicely and modernly decorated. Clean. Just note that because it’s centrally located, you do hear the partiers out and about especially on Friday night. My only request would be that the hotel have a microwave available to use.

Wonderful staff, so helpful with everything and chilled not like some corporate chain hotels this felt really relaxed and welcoming. Location is fantastic for eveything in and out the city. We had eveything we needed and more, brilliant view across the roof tops from our balcony (we were given a complementary upgraded room which was really kind and a lovely surprise). I would absolutely recommend staying here. Totally faultless thank you!

If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in the middle of the city center, this is it. You’re truly steps away from everything: shops, restaurants, sights, and transit. The hotel itself is cozy, welcoming, and even has the cutest cat hanging out in the lobby, which instantly made it feel like home. But the real standout is the staff. Melissa was an absolute rockstar, a total gem. We missed our South Coast tour, and she immediately jumped into action, calling around to find a solution. Thanks to her, we were booked on the next day’s tour without any stress. Her kindness and professionalism made all the difference. Highly recommend!
