Tour busses are just across the street, bus stop 5 Harpa. Best of all there is a free shuttle going to and from the cruise port. The property and amenities are good but no airconditioning and no swimming pool for a 4 star hotel.

Prime location in Reykjavik, walking distance of literally EVERYTHING. Amazing staff and amazing service, only gripe was this location didn’t offer massages like their other locations, breakfast could have been better and rooms could have been a little bigger. Very clean hotel, and staff was extremely pleasant and helpful

Popular spot because of easy access to tour pickup stops, the harbour, and a wonderful 8th floor breakfast and evening bar with a Harbour view. Rooms are small but adequate and elevators are fast. The hairdryer in our room was not working but they couldn't replace the wall unit during our stay. Front desk very cordial and helpful. Good choice!

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll is clean and the staff is nice. It does not have a full gym, so some may be disappointed, but you can make good use of the free weights if you can endure the heat of the spa. With that said, this hotel's greatest advantage is its location. So many things and places are within walking distance of Center Hotels Arnarhvoll. Museums, restaurants, shopping areas, etc. All within a 20-minute walk of the hotel.

The location of this hotel is excellent for exploring Reykevik city centre by foot. Room was clean, and the mini-fridge was very convenient to store fruits and veggies for snacks. The only drawback is the limited parking spaces. Only 5 spots for free, then paid street parking and a parki g lot a block away, which at times didn’t have empty spaces and had to park several blocks away.

Beware of the shower

Ok stay. Very professional staff. They took care of my bag while I was touring both before and after my stay. Basic room with new restroom. The water from the shower smelled like sulfur. I wondered if the people I met that day could smell it on me. Friends stayed at another, comparable hotel that provided an odorless showering experience. I expect at least that much from a pricey, four-star hotel.
