Overall Ratings & Reviews Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

A wonderful stay for our first time in Iceland. Witnessed a beautiful sunrise at 3am from our room. Hotel was very close to the main area of Reykjavik with its many restaurants to chose from. Lovely rooftop bar and breakfast spot for a great breakfast.

Great location

Great location for exploring Reykjavik. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Very good breakfast. Comfortable room.

Central location, though the back side of the building was overlooking an industrial area with garbage dumpsters.

Great location! Bed was comfortable. Breakfast has a great variety of items. Rooftop bar us a nice perk.

We loved our stay at the Center Hotel at Arnarhvoll. This was our second stay. We got an upgrade to include the spa. The spa was very quiet and in good working order and the robe was exceptionally comfortable. The drinking water was extremely mineralized, but probably not unhealthy. We particularly appreciated the gift of brownies and fruit, and the expresso maker. We loved the view, the quietness and proximity to everything, especially the waterfront. Highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days to celebrate our anniversary. We were so happy with the hotel — the staff were amazing and so helpful, our room was clean, the spa was beautiful, and the breakfast was excellent. We loved how close it was to everything as well, so we were able to walk everywhere. It was right across the street from the ocean, and up the street from restaurants and shops. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

See my other review of this hotel. I stayed here twice, each time for 3 nights, either side of a 8 night holiday in Iceland.

This was the third and fourth time that I've stayed at this hotel. I was staying here for 3 nights either side of a multi day tour. I've always booked a sea view room and the view is a great view of Mount Esja. Maybe not so worthwhile in winter, with minimal hours of daylight, but definitely worth it in summer. The rooms are a decent size, very clean and with a mini fridge which I always find useful. I love the location of this hotel, just opposite Harpa and only a short walk to many restaurants and shops. For Flybus or tour pick up and drop off there are 3 stops that are convenient - 5, 6 and 14. Stop 6 is slightly up hill, so if you're dragging a heavy bag you might want to avoid this stop. I've never used the hotel spa, so can't comment, and when I've had breakfast in the past it's been a good spread in the lovely top floor bar area. Be aware that the hotel has rooms on the first floor (what I'd consider the ground floor, being English) and personally I'd avoid those and ask for a room on a higher floor if possible. Staff have always been very helpful and I coukd leave my suitcase at the hotel while I was away on my multi day tour. I'm not sure that I woukd have been able to leave my bag if I wasn't returning to stay at the hotel after the tour.

Nice location, within walking distance to many attractions, yet pretty quiet. Thanks!

Like sky bar, hated very small room

Lovely hotel. Excellent location. Comfortable beds. The Included breakfast buffet was great.

Very small room than we anticipated

The view from the rooftop was stunning. The hotel is a short and easy walk to the shops and rainbow street.

Room was shabby, scuffed woodwork, broken tiles, bathroom not clean. Staff was lovely and tried hard but the hotel was overpriced

Convenient, great front desk. But parking hard to find nearby

This is our second time staying at this hotel! The room is clean and comfortable. The rooftop bar was a plus and the staff was helpful, polite and friendly!

Perfect place to stay in the middle of Reykjavik with great views of the water

Nil

Room and bathroom super small.
