Great Stay, But a Bit Noisy

I really enjoyed my stay at the City Centre Hotel. The location was excellent. It's just steps away from restaurants, activities, and two tour bus stops within a 5-minute walk. The room was comfortable, and the beds made for a good night’s sleep. The only downside was the noise. There’s an Irish pub across the street with live music until around 12:30-1am each night, and the windows aren’t very soundproof. The hotel does provide earplugs, which helped, but light sleepers might find it challenging. Overall, I had a great stay and would happily return.

This is a smaller hotel which is nice and intimate. It's in a great location, in the city center and near a bus stop. We were able to check in before 10am. A few things you need to be aware of: 1. It's right across from a Pub so ask for a room in the back. We were in the front and didn't fall asleep until after 2am. They provide ear plugs which should have been a sign but I didn't realize until the morning. 2. Rooms are very small so I wouldn't recommend staying long term. There is barely floor space for one suitcase, no room to slide under the bed, and no dresser. You have to stand in the shower to open/close the bathroom door.

Little gem in the heart of Reykjavik

We loved this hotel. Gisi at the front desk was a wealth of information on things to do, places to go. The hotel was clean, quiet and had a beautiful view off the balcony. It was in the middle of everything - we walked a ton which was really easy with their location. The design was funky and cool. Would highly recommend.

Location is perfect. You can walk to everything very easily and many bus stops near by as well. Lots of shopping nearby as well as bars/ restaurants. Which does cause some noise late at night
