Really great hotel! Quiet allowing you to peacefully sleep. Lots of great food places nearby. It’s near a shopping centre which is great if you want to do some basic shopping. Above all, there’s easy parking nearby. You do have to pay but for a weekend trip it’s great as it’s free from P3 (which is one of the parking zones)

The hotel couldn’t be in a better location and is convenient for all parts of Reykjavík. The staff were excellent. So many little touches including the check in receptionist noticing that it was recently my birthday to coffee being laid out for those needing to leave the hotel before breakfast started. One thing we weren’t fans of was the bathroom. The glass wall and door afforded very little privacy which we found rather offputting. Overall, a good hotel which I would recommend

Great location but thats where it ends

Overall I would not recommend this hotel and I am honestly shocked that it gets such high reviews. This hotel has a fabulous location but that is about the only great thing about it. The staff at check in was nice and helped us to get a room early (I had reached out weeks prior and asked about this). She stated the room was ready but we couldn't go up for 10 minutes so we had to eat breakfast. We had been traveling and didn't care about breakfast but had no other choice. In less than 10 minutes our room was ready. We booked a deluxe room and there was nothing deluxe about it. Our view was the pipes and roof over another building. The bathroom was fully glass which was not clear from the photos. It is awkward to lay in bed and the wall next to you is someone on the toilet. The room was small and very cramped. The listing showed cable but not a single channel came in. The hallways are dark and you can hear every noise from the rooms around you. If this hotel wasn't so centrally located it would be a 2 star hotel at best with some modern decor. As I was checking out I asked for a receipt which could not be provided. A large group was checking in and advised that due to the weather warnings their rooms had been given away. 16 people were standing there with no where to go and it was quickly obvious that this is a regular occurrence. I worked front desk at a hotel prior and the way the staff handled this situation was far from professional.

We had an amazing stay at Þingholt by Center Hotels! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome—super friendly, helpful, and inviting. The room was a mix of modern and cozy, with thoughtful touches. The bed was comfortable, warm, and everything was spotless. Breakfast was a real highlight—honestly, better than some of the restaurants in the area. Great selection, fresh ingredients, and a relaxed setting to start the day. Overall, this hotel really delivers on comfort and hospitality. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Reykjavik!

Probably won't stay again

I normally stay at Kea Apotek but tried this one. I found the bed setup uncomfortable with the leather pillows. The shower was designed weird. The room was either way too hot or too cold. Breakfast was super busy and the layout was awkward. The safe was way up high. It just felt like whoever designed it didn't think about functionality.
