We had no complaints. The room was clean and the size was expected. They were able to honor our request to have our two rooms next to each other. Each of the staff that we met was very friendly and helpful. Marina at the front desk was especially helpful as she gave us a lot of information about trips and even booked most of them! I have seen some complaints about the breakfast area being crowded, but we had no problem. The front desk even took actions to help alleviate the problem by asking us each day when we expected to be having breakfast. The location was perfect for us. Everything we wanted to see in the city center was in walking distance as was the bus stop we needed for our excursion.

Location was even better than I had expected. Very close to all and everything we wanted to do and easily walkable. Decent sized rooms. Very clean and super helpful and amazing staff. Can not go wrong with this hotel. And as an added bonus its on top of an old viking settlement. Museum underneath to visit..

Stay in the heart of Reykjavík – Excellent location – show map

This hotel is set on one of Reykjavik’s oldest streets, Adalstraeti, 650 feet from Reykjavik Art Museum. It features a unique Viking exhibition center, plus in-room satellite TV and tea/coffee facilities.

Hotel Reykjavik Centrum has both hotel rooms and self-service studios. All feature modern décor, fresh bathrooms and hardwood floors.

Traditional Icelandic dishes and an extensive wine list are served at Fjalaköttur, Reykjavik Centrum’s award-winning restaurant. Uppsalir is the hotel’s own cafe bar.

The hotel was built above the ruins of a Viking-era longhouse. An on-site exhibition center now honors this historic feature. It also displays Iceland’s oldest human remains, dating back to 870 AD.
