When booking this trip to Reykjavik we were looking for a hotel that was well situated, modern with good amenities and good value. We looked at several different reviews websites including TripAdvisor before we made our choice and were not disappointed. Reykjavik is not a big city and the Arnarhvoll is only a very short walk (2 mins) from the... more

First of all the reception staff was GREAT - each and every one were very helpful from accomodation arrangements, to travel arrangements - each interaction was comfortable. The hotel is very centrally located to the center of Reykjavik but it is also very quiet. A pleasant walk to a number of areas. We never needed transportation other than to go... more

We were glad to be allowed to check in early on the day of our arrival. The hotel is a couple of short blocks from hard-core downtown but is quite convenient. No street noise. Regular breakfast buffet was quite good -- several choices and good ones -- and was served in a beautiful room on the 8th floor, overlooking the... more

The other reviews say it all: (1) good location, (2) good views, if you are on the right side of the hotel, (3) very ordinary service, (4) small rooms and (5) what's with the breakfast? Surely, the owners of this hotel can read ... why don't they up their game? We were originally booked at Centerhotel Klopp, but on arrival... more

We stayed here for three nights in a room overlooking the harbour (this is a must!). The room was a reasonable size, with a dark grey and white colour scheme and tiled floor. Reception staff were polite, but unforthcoming. Pros : very good location for shopping and restaurants, great view, comfortable beds, blackout blind for short nights, ample breakfast on... more

Pros: Breakfast was decent and had a nice view. Good location. Clean and modern room. Cons: Room was smaller than appears on the website - basically it could have been a large closet. Don't expect a helpful staff. Room was too hot, didn't have AC and was on the ground level near the trash so we didn't want to open... more

Stayed for 7 nights. Room small but clean and functional. Only 2 staff on breakfast duty - they could not cope resulting in a very poor service. Food quality OK but limited in variety and quantity. Breakfast was a major let down. The view however from the 8th floor is superb. Reception staff were polite but not particularly friendly or... more

SERVICE The reception staff were friendly and helpful - booked our tours and restaurants. Impressed with all the languages they spoke! ROOM Nice room - decent size, clean and nice big TV! Bit like an Ikea showroom though - not much character. The wet room was very wet but had a great shower. Be warned - there are no curtains... more

I booked this hotel through last minute's secret hotel's which made it excellent value for money for Iceland. The location is fantastic and rooms clean and modern, perfect for a couple of nights stay. They have a spa in the basement which you can use for a little extra which is fantastic after a days sightseeing. Breakfast is fine, although... more
