Hello, fellow travelers! Here’s a quick and honest review of this property.

Quick Wins:

1) Breakfast Options: If you book a room with breakfast, you’ll enjoy a good selection of food. Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. sharp.

2) Great Location: The hotel is in the heart of Reykjavik, just a 10- 15-minute walk to Rainbow Street and the iconic church.

3) Honest Staff: I once left my jacket and wallet in the dining area, and thankfully, they were saved!

4) Lockers Available: You can store your luggage and carry-on items securely.

5) Family-Oriented Lobby: There’s a nice hangout area that’s great for meetings and socializing.

Some Hiccups:

1) No Gym Amenities: The Center Plaza Hotel does not offer gym facilities.

2) Basic Room Quality: The rooms are typical of budget hotels.

3) Busy Hotel: The hotel can get quite crowded. I went down for breakfast at 7 a.m. once, and it was packed! I found that going later helped.

4) Limited Perks for VIP Expedia Travelers: There weren’t many benefits during my stay. I had to remind the front desk about my status, and they provided me with one complimentary drink.

5) Tour Pickup Issues: The hotel does not offer pick-up for tours. The nearest bus stop for pickups is a 5-10 minute walk from City Hall Bus Stop 1. However, if you're traveling with a group or family, there are plenty of taxis available right outside the hotel.

Great location in the center of town. Had front facing room with nice view of the square….staff extremely helpful and the lobby area is very open with a useful section for computer use…. Very busy in a good way… many travelers passing through….lively but room was quiet, clean, modern … Only bugaboo is no parking…(but same I believe with all downtown hotels in Reykj…)had to navigate complex parking rules on city streets…but overall fantastic stay and would return anytime.

The room was exceptionally clean, and the staff were welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.
What I loved most was the location. It is conveniently situated within walking distance of many tourist attractions, restaurants, and shopping malls, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.

The only downside was the lack of free parking. Finding a parking spot close to the hotel was quite challenging, which made it a bit inconvenient if you're traveling by car.

We had an excellent stay at Center Hotels - Plaza! We chose an 8th floor room with our own balcony, which are all on the back side of the hotel, which helped as I know others have said the plaza facing rooms can get a lot of noise from the plaza itself as there are bars/restaurants. The room was super clean, beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was large and really nice as well!
The only thing is that the rooms get verrrry hot during the day when the sun is shining, we would keep the curtains closed and it would still heat up a ton - luckily we would just open the balcony door and the small window and get the fan blowing and it would cool off quickly, but I could imagine in a room without a balcony door to open and only a small window it would be way too hot.
We had shared it was our honeymoon and they left us cards and some treats in the room which was really sweet of them.
Tough that there's no parking, but there is a garage nearby and lots of street parking 1-2 blocks behind the hotel which didn't end up being that bad.
The location is incredible, the restaurants in the plaza with the patios are really fun and convenient, and the whole city feels very walkable from this hotel!
We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Reykjavik!

There is no parking closed by so we walked to park in a P3 location in order to have it cheap. The TV was not working in the room when we arrived, it worked on the next day. It can be very hot in the room and despite opening a window, not much to do there.

The hotel was great. I would say be mindful of you have a room facing the city center. While it was great, the summer sun will absolutely cook your room. The lack of fans or AC(which I get) makes it hard to circulate air to cool the room after it’s been baking. Breakfast is amazing, just not at 7am.

Pros: great location, appealing lobby, helpful staff, luggage storage, and a good buffet breakfast (both hot and cold items)

Cons: they’re in the midst of refreshing the rooms, and the one we had was dingy and showing signs of wear (scuffed paint, chipped tiles in the bathroom, loose door handle on the room door), and had a stale smell. The other common areas outside of the lobby could also use some refreshing.

Part of my assessment is that we stayed at their other location (Center Hotel Laungavegur) which was much better maintained/clean/fresh in comparison.

Do not park in the underground car parks. It's a rip off. It cost around 90euro just for one day. There is street parking a few streets away. The signs say P1 and P2. With EasyPark app it costs about 10 euros a day.

I stayed here for 5 nights and couldn't fault anything with this hotel. The location was fantastic. A short 3 minute walk to bus stop 1 at the city hall. I got a bus from the airport to there and caught two different buses for tours to the golden circle and the northern lights as well. As a solo traveller this was perfect as there was nothing to worry about. There was also a free shuttle bus there to Grandi area.

There were numerous restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and bars in close proximity. You didn't really need to go very far after a long day out. The harbour, waterfront, shopping streets and main attractions were all at most 20 mins walk away in different directions (except Perlan which was 30-40 mins). The whole city was walkable. I didn't have to use any transport apart from going on tours.

The service at the hotel was excellent. Friendly and professional staff. Always someone available with a smile. The cleaning staff were extremely polite.

My room was super comfortable. The bed and pillow were perfect and I slept right through. I've seen others reviews highlighting noise being an issue. My room was on the third floor and located off a central quiet courtyard that didn't face onto the main road. It was super quiet. Yes, there were a few noisy guests who didn't know how to open and close doors quietly but I think that's expected in hotels as long as they are at appropriate hours, which they were.

It was a clean and simple room with no frills which is expected in t

Nice central hotel. Pleasant staff great location. The breakfast service was very good with plenty of choice and looser ice was smooth even at busy times. However not sure why the modern trend is to deny privacy on the loo. Much as I love my travel companion not sure I want to hear all their full bodily functions. The door was glass and not fitted to a door frame so privacy was minimal. Surely a hotel of this calibre could do better.

The hotel itself was really good. It was in the city center, within walking distance of most landmarks, and if not, there was really good public transport. The hotel was clean. The view from the window was amazing (I guess it depends on the side of the room, but ours was perfect), and it was really quiet despite a lot of guests.

The staff was really nice and helpful. Breakfast could have been a little bit better for a 4-star hotel, but really, I can't complain. Despite limited variety, it was good and tasty.

The mattress was a little bit hard for me, but I understand all people have different preferences, so you can't please everyone.
