I stayed in Room 102 and it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The noise from the club directly below was unbearable – thumping music and shouting until the early hours. I was completely misled and mis‑sold this room. At no point was I warned that it sat above a nightclub. When I complained to reception, I was told I should “consider myself lucky” the club didn’t go on until 5am, as apparently some nights it does. That is not acceptable customer service. Instead of acknowledging the problem, the hotel tried to brush it off and refused to take responsibility, despite me raising the issue both in person and through emails afterwards. This company clearly mis‑sells rooms and then denies accountability when guests suffer the consequences. Be very careful before booking – if you value sleep, honesty, and basic respect, look elsewhere.

Þhingholt is a gem of a boutique hotel that offers the quality you’d expect from a Center Hotel. Fantastic location close to everything, set on a quaint side street (but warning: late-night weekend bar/club spillover noise). Photos online are true to the decor and atmosphere: loved the ambiance! Exceptional staff - especially the reception crew, who offered many helpful recommendations during our stay. Very clean rooms, a good breakfast, and a great spa. The welcome plate was lovely, and the ability to visit spas at other Center Hotels was an unexpected treat. I’ll definitely be back.

Visiting from Las Vegas, NV./World travelers. First time visitors to Iceland. First off the staff: I told them it was my wife's birthday and they went out of their way to make her welcome special and unique. Balloons, pastries, and a hand written card wishing her a happy birthday. They made me look like the husband of the year. Cannot thank them enough. Throughout our stay their kindness and good attitude never stopped. Helpful in every capacity. Secondly, our room: We reserved the suite with the downstairs living room area. Room was very clean. Smelled good. Decor was tasteful. Slippers and robes for 2 in the closet. Has a safe and a fridge. No microwave. But that was ok. The room was very comfy and welcoming. As was the rest of the hotel. Third, Food: Breakfast buffet did not disappoint. Some people say in their reviews the description is misleading about it. I don't know what their problem is but they were either blind or so dang picky they went looking for stuff to complain about. Great taste and all freshly made that morning. Forth, Location: We were literally in the heart of everything and anything you could want to do and enjoy for food, bars, and shops. Short walks to many of the best parts of the capital or a quick can ride if it was too cold or windy. Overall: 5 stars! Hands down. A great place to stay and worth every cent. Much appreciation to the staff. Well done. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. PS: Best part was we were blessed to see the Northern light

The staff was solid, polite and helpful. The room was clean, but the twin beds were disappointing as they were basically cots with a thin mattress, not up to the quality standard of the rest of the hotel. The room was small, my Gold VIP room upgrade was denied (there were rooms available) and they did not accept American Express. Breakfast included with decent offerings and the staff itself was the reason for the 4 stars

Overall I would definitely stay here again Pros: I foound the breakfast quality was higher than a lot of the hotel breakfast buffets I've had, size/variety wasn't the biggest but decent and something for everyone (sausage/scrambled egg/hash browns/beans/bacon, fruit, pastries, bread, ham and cheese, porridge and a selection of toppings, herring, water, juice, tea & coffee and more that I don't remember) but same selection daily Rooms were clean and comfortable Staff were all friendly and helpful Cons: Shower layout gets half the bathroom floor wet for every shower Very little privacy in room toilets, frosted glass walls with a foot or so of clear glass at top and bottom, so you can hear everything from the bed My partner was less impressed with breakfast selection and quality. Fruit was a bit dried out, bananas pre-cut into thirds so had gone brown Spa/lounge/breakfast room was closed for rennovation while I was there with zero notice until check-in and meant we had to book breakfast slots every day due to limited space, extra noise in the mornings and afternoons audible from the room and temp breakfast/lounge area, and no downstairs toilets, and nothing offered in return. Works were finished by the time we left.
