This hotel is located directly across the street from a night club that operates til 6am Friday and Saturday and a building that’s being built/rebuilt/remodeled Monday-Friday, and it doesn’t look to be finished in the near future. The place was clean and the front desk attendant we had was great, but I honestly would not stay here again. If you’re in Reykjavík to party all night and wake up straight away in the morning, this is the place for you. If you’re here for relaxation in any type of way, or you just like to sleep in the hours of a normal person, stay away, far away. I know this is not the fault of the hotel. But the transparency of this hotel to not provide such information is not acceptable. What they do provide is little ear plugs on your pillow, as if to say haha it’s going to be loud, sorry. We are so glad to have only booked two nights here and our last two nights somewhere else. We would’ve left anyways and forfeited the loss.

Great location near lots of restaurants, shops and bus stops. Staff were really friendly and even gave us a free room upgrade on the fourth floor when we arrived which was really appreciated! Room was spacious and bed comfortable. Some nights were quite loud from nearby bars/clubs but we were so tired from tours in the day that we slept really well anyway

This hotel is perfect! It’s in the middle of everything! Lots of restaurants and bars around it, clubs, coffee shops, bus stops, ice skating rink, etc. Some of the reviews complained about how loud it gets on the weekend and it was pretty loud but they provide ear plugs and I was on the back side of the hotel so I had no trouble sleeping. The decor is really cute as well!

GREAT FIND

Our stay at City Center Hotel was great. I love the eclectic surroundings, coziness of the room, kind housekeeping staff and the service from the front desk was exceptional! Baktus the Cat was an added bonus. We didn’t know we’d be meeting a star! The location is PERFECT! You’re literally in the center of it all with quick access to shopping, dining and entertainment. Thanks CCH.

Overall the hotel was very good. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Strangely there was a coffee pod machine (and some pods supplied) but there was no milk or tea bags in the room. The room lighting was not very bright which made finding things in our luggage a bit challenging at times but that wasn't a problem otherwise. Not having bin liners in the waste bins meant we used the toilet bin for our rubbish to try to keep the room clean. But minor issues aside the property was very good, ideally located and extremely comfortable.
