I had a wonderful stay at CC. Everyone I encountered was lovely and willing to help.
Roomy shower, a nice size terrace, and airy space with lots of light was nice to experience.

The only negative: the lack of a desk. That made work a little difficult to execute everyday.

Other than that I enjoyed my stay. I recommend CC for your Icelandic stay in Reykjavík.

This is a great hotel in the middle of the downtown area. It is located on the main strip with all of the stores and restaurants in walking distance. Mel the front desk clerk made our trip. She took the time to provide us a map of all of the downtown area attractions and provided us a path to meet our time schedule on the both days we were there.

Great hotel with friendly staff, interesting decor, and super convenient location. The missing star is only because the common noise complaints are real, since the hotel is situated above the American Bar. But what it loses in noise it makes up for in its location, which seems like a decent trade off. Would stay here again.

Our room was missing towels and I didn’t realize until I had already gotten undressed! There was no phone in the room to call front desk, but I reached out via message through Expedia and the gentleman at front desk responded immediately and brought me some towels!
I was hoping for blackout curtains - especially at this time of year when the sun doesn’t really set. Unfortunately there was a lot of light in the room which made it difficult to sleep.
The elevator was stuck one day so we had to climb to the top floor - no big deal, especially since the view from our balcony was wonderful.
Overall a great stay, would stay again.

The hotel itself was fine. Nothing fancy, but fine. It had the smallest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel, had to step into the shower to open and close the door. Shower itself was great though. There was a mix up in the reservation and we ended up with two twin beds which was not ideal for the last night of the first kid-free trip me and my husband have had in 8 years! We tried to push them together but one was considerably higher and they moved too easily. But the biggest issue is location. It’s great in some aspects - on a pedestrian street super close to everything. However this also means that parking is a nightmare and that it’s really loud. Our room faced the Irish pub that had loud live music until 100 and then loud drunk people on the street until about 230. This was a Wednesday night, so probably worse on the weekend. So keep that in mind if you are considering this hotel. The room darkening curtain also wasn’t great, no blind just a curtain. Overall it was fine for one night but I def would not stay there again.

I stayed for two nights at this hotel, they held onto my luggage when I left for a few days in between nights which was really helpful. The rooms are clean, and have comfortable beds.
On the second night, they upgraded my room which was really nice of them to do. I’d recommend this hotel as it is really convenient, especially for catching the bus to Keflavík.

Great hotel. Very modern and nicely renovated. Right in the center of town so walkable to every attraction.
I am a solo traveler and the room was small but well designed. A lot of natural light and everything I needed.
Stops 1 and 2 are the closest to the hotel (about 4 minutes walk).
All tour buses pick up at stop #1, in front of city hall.
So, it is very convenient.
I plan to go back to Iceland and will stay at this hotel again.

The hotel is indeed in the city centre with lots of restaurants and shops all within walking distance from the hotel. The receptionists were friendly and helpful and the elevator was particularly quaint and interesting. The room was large, clean and well appointed. The area was as advertised. There are 2 bakeries nearby that produce absolutely scrumptious pastry (but hurry, they sell out fast). We did not need parking.

A point to note: taxis and tour buses do not (are not allowed) to drive up to the hotel so be prepared to manage your luggage over the short walk to the hotel.

I was traveling with my sister and we really enjoyed our stay at City Center. Google Maps had a hard time finding the hotel because it’s closed to cars but we were able to find street parking around the corner. The hotel staff helped us download the parking app AND upgraded our room. The room was big and the bathroom very fancy. The location was perfect - easy walking distance to Hallgrimakirkja church, the settlement exhibition, and city hall with all the swans and ducks, shopping, and great places to eat. We went to the food hall for dinner and Icelandic beer; the Laundromat Cafe for breakfast. The hotel has a unique boutique vibe. Plus the friendly staff and very nice cat will greet you as soon as you walk in the lobby

If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in the middle of the city center, this is it. You’re truly steps away from everything: shops, restaurants, sights, and transit. The hotel itself is cozy, welcoming, and even has the cutest cat hanging out in the lobby, which instantly made it feel like home.

But the real standout is the staff. Melissa was an absolute rockstar, a total gem. We missed our South Coast tour, and she immediately jumped into action, calling around to find a solution. Thanks to her, we were booked on the next day’s tour without any stress. Her kindness and professionalism made all the difference. Highly recommend!
