Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

Hotel was in a great location for walking and food options close by. There were only 5 parking spaces for the hotel which was inconvenient.

The sky bar…excellent

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll is clean and the staff is nice. It does not have a full gym, so some may be disappointed, but you can make good use of the free weights if you can endure the heat of the spa. With that said, this hotel's greatest advantage is its location. So many things and places are within walking distance of Center Hotels Arnarhvoll. Museums, restaurants, shopping areas, etc. All within a 20-minute walk of the hotel.

A very nice sky bar, good breakfast, an awesome spa facility

Centrally located property in a safe locatio. Very clean and a great staff. Only issues were the room was Very small and the pictures for the property made it look like the hot tub was included, but was an extra fee.

Great location. Dining options close. Nice 'Sky Bar' for drinks and the view. They have a sauna/hot tub for use. Safe helpful.

The location of this hotel is excellent for exploring Reykevik city centre by foot. Room was clean, and the mini-fridge was very convenient to store fruits and veggies for snacks. The only drawback is the limited parking spaces. Only 5 spots for free, then paid street parking and a parki g lot a block away, which at times didn’t have empty spaces and had to park several blocks away.

Tour busses are just across the street, bus stop 5 Harpa. Best of all there is a free shuttle going to and from the cruise port. The property and amenities are good but no airconditioning and no swimming pool for a 4 star hotel.

My only issue was the parking. The hotel has parking for guests but did nothing about the unauthorized cars using the limited parking spaces. This was very annoying as street parking at the hotel was very very expensive

The location was great and very easy to get around from there. Rooms were nice. Spa facility was OK. No exercise equipment was available, other than a few hand weights.

This hotel was literally perfect in terms of location. Right across from Harpa bus stop #5. Walking distance to all of downtown and has a beautiful sea view. Room was very clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok. Didn’t have a chance to visit the sky bar or the spa. 10/10 will stay again in the future.

The Front Desk staff were excellent, maid service mediocre. The bathroom shower was absolutely ridiculous. The tap water had a rotten egg smell and taste. The location was ideal.

Gott þrifalegt hótel á fóðum stað við Hörpu

Excellent location for everything Reykjavik we wanted to do. Clean, safe, and comfortable room!

When you step into the hotel, the carpet was pretty dirty. The room is really small and has a weird smell. Overall experience is not that pleasant.

Good hotel right by the water staff was helpful place was sparkling clean. Breakfast in the morning was exceptional and the view from the sky lounge where the breakfast is served is superb.

Great location - super staff - we got a harbor view room, but the outside windows are so dirty it was hard to see out.

Clean room. Bed quite hard but can't accommodate for all. Staff very friendly & helpful. Breakfast very good. Will definitely stsy again

Fantastic location, clean room. Would stay again!

Very.clean and comfortable

Very small room and half shower thing ,just do not get that, water everywhere.

The room was an absolute shoebox...with an amazing view. If you're looking for space, this isn't the place. And the tiny shower is just ridiculous. The staff is friendly and top notch and there's a killer rooftop bar with amazing views.

Like sky bar, hated very small room

The hotel is showing signs of age - took a long time to get hot water in the shower and the water pressure is very low. The hotel room was extremely warm despite the fact that I’d turned the temperature down

Property was very convenient. Staff excellent. Soundproofing not ok

Den Meerblick bezahlt man neben dem Aufpreis mit einer lauten Haptstrassenlage. Zimmer wie überall in Reykjavik recht klein, kein Schrank. Frühstück reichhaltig, Skybar sehr schön!

This hotel is excellent location to walk to everything while having a gorgeous view of the harbor! 2 min walk to bus stops 5&6 which l tours pick up at. Great breakfast! We chose sea view room. It was great! Rooms are small but that’s normal for Europe. Shower is small and oddly designed but it works fine. Our room was cool. We had an adjustable thermostat and turned heat off or low. Room had a fan also. Would absolutely stay here again. Everyone is super friendly. We loved the spa area and enjoyed a hot soak every day!

Convenient location from drop off points for tour buses and airport shuttle bus (within 50 yards). Two block walk to major shopping and restaurant area. Very good hotel breakfast served in top floor lounge with great views. No other in house dining. Our room was overheated even with system off. Could not turn off bathroom floor heat. Luckily the windows open. We slept with all the windows open but had alot of street noise from passersby after the bars closed. Bathroom tub/shower had a very high step over to get in or out and it had no grab bars.

Nice view of the harbour from our room. Rooms are basic and compact, not much space for luggage / clothes in bedroom or toiletries in bathroom. Cleanliness was excellent in the room. Restaurant was small but food was good. Felt cramped when all the tables were busy at the same time. Pride week in August was celebrated in this hotel whilst I was there. There was entertainment on several evenings tying in the with this event. A good hotel in a good location for bars and restaurants in the city of Reykjavik.

Clean, convenient location and easy to find, easy walk to town, super nice people, very hot room and very small room, toilet next to shower with no no barrier so it soaked entire bathroom floor and toilet, no closet, barely room for 2 suitcases.

Amazing! Second time staying, and cant wait to stay again! Great views, great breakfast, comfortable beds, nice spa, and great service! They upgraded my room for my birthday!

Overall the stay was fine. When we checked in we were given a key to a specific category of room I booked. We went to the room, opened the door and someone was already in the room. We were moved to a lower category of room for the night but were given no refund of any kind. The next day we moved to the correct room but it was a huge inconvenience. The Sky Bar was nice and the staff up there were great but the front desk staff were not helpful at all. When I asked for some kind of refund for the first night they said, “ well but you had a room to sleep in”. I was very disappointed in the way we were treated.

Great location but the room we stayed in had a very odd layout in a odd corner - 1. the tiny bathroom/toilet where the teeny tiny walk-in shower had a useless glass door that did nothing to keep the water from splashing out into the dry areas. There was a *mop* provided by the hotel which guests are apparently supposed to use to clean the floor after every shower! 2. the front desk staff do not attend phone calls from the room. You need to go down to the front desk in case you have a request. 3. The only window in our room was overlooking an office building where you can see people at their desks. We stayed there for 2 days and did not appreciate any of the above. We were glad to checkout out of the hotel. Won't recommend/return.

Friendly staff, helpful

Check in was troublesome. I had requested early check in (with additional fee), but when i arrived at 10 am, it was not available. Ok understandable. Came back at 1pm still not available so I informed clerk I would wait in lobby. I was only person waiting in lobby, so I assumed when it would become available, I would be notified. But at 2 o’clock, I got up and asked her to check and lo and behold. It was already available. I was so disappointed that she didn’t let me know. Believe me hotel was not busy T the time, so I found it very disappointing.

Staff was so friendly, so helpful and we really enjoyed our time there.

I felt very much welcomed

Great location. Very helpful front desk worked with us to setup transportation. Also gave recommendations on things to do in the city, they were pleasant and excellent. The room was consistently tidy each day, and coffee / towels restocked. Fantastic.

The staff was very helpful and engaging. The location is perfect. Close to downtown and public transportation.

Excellent customer service. Staff made our room a priority to get cleaned so we could check in hours early. The staff was very friendly and helpful with anything we asked. We even received a delicious dessert tray in addition to our other VIP perks. Pleasant stay.

This hotel was literally perfect in terms of location. Right across from Harpa bus stop #5. Walking distance to all of downtown and has a beautiful sea view. Room was very clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok. Didn’t have a chance to visit the sky bar or the spa. 10/10 will stay again in the future.

Convenient to public transportation and down town. Would definitely recommend and stay there again on a future visit.

If only I can get a room facing the waterfront and snowy mountain, that will be excellent. The receptionist was helpful and friendly. Very efficient too! Breakfast is great. Even providing cod liver oil. Opposite Harpa bus stop 5, convenient for Flybus travel to the airport.

We really enjoyed this hotel for a nice, clean, straightforward overnight in Reykjavik. It's not a high class luxury establishment but a very well executed 3-star hotel with a great cozy feel and excellent service. The staff were uniformly excellent, from check in to check out to restaurant/bar staff. We had a sea view room which was nice, but unfortunately the view is over a parking lot and a main road, and is therefore a little less exciting from lower floors (we were on 2). The rooftop bar has stunning views of the summer sunset and has a cozy, fun vibe. The breakfast buffet was served in the same sky lounge space and was small-ish but well done, with a variety of cold and hot options. The hotel has a cozy front lobby and well-thought-out storage lockers for those who need a space to store luggage before check-in or after check-out. We didn't try the spa. The rooms are perfectly clean but pretty spartan/efficient: small square footage, not much of a desk to work at. Our room had a single bed in place of a sofa, so there wasn't really even any seating. The bathroom is small and uses a wet-room shower approach. All perfectly workable, but just a little tight, even for two people. The location is very good, on the water, and a two-block walk to the main town road and just a few more blocks to the main church. It was a (cold)12-15 minute walk to the harbor for any whale cruises. Overall, we would definitely stay again as a value option with a great feel.

You can’t get a better location than this in downtown Reykjavik… across the street from the iconic Harpa concert hall and close to shopping, dining, and attractions.

Location was excellent. Friendly staff. Good selections at breakfast with a wonderful view.

Great location. Dining options close. Nice 'Sky Bar' for drinks and the view. They have a sauna/hot tub for use. Safe helpful.

The location of the hotel is unbeatable, steps away from the city center, the old harbor and restaurants, and bus stop 5. The hotel is very clean, staff is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the Sky restaurant which has striking view over the ocean with the volcanic mountains at the far distance. The breakfast there was very good and the happy hour in the evening was awesome , lots of options for drinks. We are very happy with our stay there. The only thing is that the room is a bit small and after the shower we need to mop the floor.

Located near the waterfront with views of the harbor and sea. The hotel is old. No a/c, only heating. That said, nice breakfast. Only 5 blocks from the Old Harbour and tourist streets.

There is no restaurant on premise, but they do have a great Sky Bar and there are food options within walking distance. Also the tub wasn’t easy to get in and out of. Overall, the staff are great the hotel was clean and safe and in a great location.

Hotel is a bit more like a hostel. Location is good - water and close to downtown shops/restaurants but rooms are small, uninspiring and below average. Breakfast on top floor is very nice, good spread and great views. Their sister hotel on the plaza was surprisingly cheaper and much better looking and location in the heart of town. Looked like a place where adults might stay versus backpackers.

Great location, good breakfast, friendly staff, small but pleasant spa area. Fantastic view!!We’d stay there again.

Rummen var ganska slitna och små. Duschen hade dåligt tryck och det sprutar vatten över hela badrummet när man duschar. Frukosten hade ett dåligt utbud och det som fanns var ganska tråkigt.

Great location. Good breakfast. Excellent services.

Absolutely tiny rooms with an almost nonexistent shower. Breakfast is very mediocre with terrible coffee that tastes like it came from a truck stop. If you want them to make you a proper cup of coffee, they charge extra! This hotel should not be rated at 4 stars. The room is 2 stars at best.

A very nice sky bar, good breakfast, an awesome spa facility

Die Lage ist perfekt! Man ist schnell in den besten Restaurants und in der Party Maile. Das Frühstücke ist im obersten Stock, mit toller Aussieht auf das Meer. Es ist reichhaltig und ideal für einen guten Start.

Clean room. Bed quite hard but can't accommodate for all. Staff very friendly & helpful. Breakfast very good. Will definitely stsy again
