Location, location, location! We could walk to everything we wanted to see from our hotel, except for a few museums. The breakfast was very good and the view from the breakfast room/rooftop bar over the bay was great. We also ate dinner in the rooftop bar twice because the chicken nachos were so good. The blackout curtains were so nice and the bed was very comfortable. We had no issues with parking, we were able to use the free parking twice during our three day stay. There was also P3 parking within steps of the hotel. We stayed June 2026 and the hotel next door was closed for renovations, so when that hotel opens back up parking will be more of an issue.

we formally complained about a serious security incident that occurred at approximatelyin Room 113, where my wife and daughter were staying.
An intoxicated, unclothed man entered our occupied room while my wife and daughter were asleep. My wife woke to find him in the room and screamed in panic. Hotel staff did respond and removed the individual, but the fact that this occurred at all represents a severe failure of your property’s security and access control systems.As a result of this incident, my daughter and wife are shaken and traumatized. Neither slept for the remainder of the night, and the psychological impact of a stranger entering their room while they were sleeping is significant and lasting. The hotel manager offered a dinner however they complete undermined the incident that happened. We stayed for 5 nights and the lease they could do is refund one night for the incident but they fail to take any accountability. one of the worst places to stay with the manager undermining the feelings of the guest who went through a traumatic incident. DO NOT STAY and waste ur money. These people fail to take any accountability for anything that happens since it is your fault.

The views of the harbor from this hotel is amazing, especially from the Skytop bar. Excellent location across from the Harpa Concert hall and bus stop 5 and just a few minutes walk to bus stop 6 where many tours pick up from. Restaurants and stores are a short walk as well. The breakfast buffet was delicious with many offerings. As a return customer, we were welcomed with a sweet treat and given passes for the jacuzzi. Overall a very nice experience.

The location was good but the hotel needs major renovations to address wear and tear. Our room was also smaller than expected and oddly configured. An excess of chairs might be considered a good thing but the space is too small to accommodate the furniture in the room.

Hospitality though added a nice touch of sweets and a kind note upon arrival.

We stayed at the Center Hotels Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik, Iceland in June 2026. The hotel was chosen primarily due to its location. The hotel is located near the waterfront, across from the Harpa Concert Hall. So it is a nice walk to/from bus stops, historic part of town, the church, and boat pier for whale and Puffin watching tours

The rooms are small, but clean. Surprisingly, the shower is nothing that we have ever encountered! It shares the floor with the rest of the small bathroom, with a curved plastic door to keep water from hitting the bathroom door. Everything else gets wet. There is a squeegee provided to move water to the drain after showering. This was our biggest disappointment at the hotel.

There is no air-conditioning, so there is a small window that can be opened to let in fresh air from outside. There is no screen in the window. The room had a big crack across the ceiling and some paint was chipping. Our room had 2 twin beds, a desk, 2 strange chairs, and a small refrigerator. The TV had some channels that had weak signal scrambling problems. The Wi-Fi worked fairly well, as it does in most of Iceland. My bed sheet had a small hole in it that was clearly visible on by the pillow area. So not perfectly maintained room. It was refreshed everyday, at our request.

The breakfast cost extra to the room price, and was located on the top floor bar area. It had good food and an excellent view of the harbor and music hall.

The front door needs to be aut

Nice, modern hotel in a great location. Rooms are smallish, but efficient and comfortable. The spa consists of a hot soaking pool and dry sauna, and a fitness area would be a useful improvement, but it was a nice place to relax after a day of touring. Breakfast is excellent, and we were happy to have this as a “home base” for our Reykjavik centered vacation.

We stayed at the Center Hotels Arnarhvoll for 3 nights. The location was excellent and we loved the views from the hotel, particularly from the Sky lounge on the top floor, where breakfast was served and where you can get drinks in the evenings. The hotel was good value. And the staff at the front desk were excellent -- super helpful. However, we found our room to be inconveniently small (you had to squeeze by the corner of the bed just to get around it) and the mattress was not that great. If you have no back issues, and you avoid the smallest room, I would definitely recommend it.

Good location, nice property, convenient to walk for shopping and dining. Room was nice and adequate, our only issue was there was a narrow tub in restroom with a shower pointed from one side. There was a hinged glass partition separating the shower from the commode. Problem was, the glass naturally stopped in a position outside of the tub. This made it difficult to impossible to shower without flooding the bathroom. We asked for a solution to this and front desk said they would send someone to correct it, but nothing changed. We ended up wedging a hairbrush to hold the glass within the boundary of the tub and still had a decent amount of water escape.

This hotel is a great location for museums, shopping on Laugavegur, eating and beer. It was snowing while we stayed there but we bundled up and it was a quick walk to the shops where everyone was warm and inviting. The hotel is on a corner and has limited parking so we parked across the street and paid by app. The hotel concierge was friendly and gave us two complimentary drinks at the Sky bar upstairs, which is a packed party scene at night and very quiet for breakfast in the morning. Reserve a table so you can take in the view of the ocean and Harpa lit up at night! The bedroom layout is good for two people. The bathroom and bath products were very nice.
