CenterHotel Skjaldbreid  

The only positive was that the Hotel was in the centrum.

When I arrived at the hotel, I had to write a form with passport number and visa card number. I was nearly thrown out when I refused it. I told the man that I had already paid with my card and that he had Checked on pc. It was of course everything in order so I got room key. It was very loud sounds in the ventilation system especial in the 4 floor so there was not much sleep. Main door at the Hotel was lost after 12:00 pm so you had to call and wait for a while. There were not that good cleaning. It was the blond hair on the cabinet in the bathroom and it was not clear on the 3 days that I was in a hotel. The bed laughing between a wall and a closet so they could not stretch my legs, poor people who slept there were over 1.85 cm. It was 3-4 borings tv channels and tv was 20 years old, in addition tv control did not work. Breakfast was very simple. The bathroom was very small, espesielt dush cabinet so if you are big is very tight in there. I had a double room but I got only one big towel. I had to speak out to get 2 big towels. Windows is from 1987 so you can imagine for a moment stand at the hotel. Poor internet speed.Hotelet is not a 4 stars hotel, if compared with other hotels, especial bath and breakfast.

Location and kindness of the staff

The hotel do not have any comfortable space to spend free time during the day, as hall, cofee bar, etc,....

Good value for money. Great location. Adequate breakfast. Nice that the breakfast room stays open 24 hours and you can have coffee, tea or chocolate at any time. It´s noisy indeed on Friday and Saturday night (but then most of Reykjavik is) but very quiet all the other days.

Perfect location on the main road, good size rooms with bathroom and buffet breakfast.

We had a leak in our bathroom which came to our room floor. The smell in our room was unplesant and they didn`t change the towels when asked.

Nice size rooms, decent breakfast, comfortable beds. Near to shops and entertainment.

It could be a bit noisy some nights due to proximity to clubs/bars. Actually, we did not mind but some people might find it hard to sleep.

Staff and meal

Very noisey

It was in a great location. The breakfast was super and I loved the sunny, greenhouse type breakfast room. Everything was clean and we were very comfortable.

I have one suggestion. I think that it would be a good idea to allow checkout at 1:00 without an additional fee. Since the flybus picks up then, that would be much more convenient and allow a little more time to visit around town.

Very good location. Nice breakfast room.

Fitted carpet on room, 80's style, old fashioned.

Excellent location but weekend travellers join in the drink because they can forget about sleeping. We did the former.

Very good location!

The receptionists were courteous and helpful and spoke excellent English. Their willingness to contact other hotels which were on our itinery, because of the problem with the bridge at Vik was greatly appreciated. The breakfasts were 'en par' with other hotels.The idea of offering coffee and tea throughout the day/night in the 'Sun room' was a great idea.We made the right choice excpet for ... (see below:)

... the only problem we encountered was the music and partying sounds, from the street, which penetrated the room and disturbed much needed sleep until 4am on Friday and Saturday nights - two out of the three nights we stayed there. It would have been good to know of this 'polution' before hand with an alternative suggestion for a quieter venue for these two nights offered.

Very central location, rooms comfortable and nicely furnished. Staff very helpfull. For Iceland and Reykjavik good value.

We stayed over weekend nights, so, as the hotel's location was central, a benefit, it was also a negative due to street noise late into the night and early morning.
