The hair dryer was broken. The shower in room 317 was totally nonfunctional. It was ridiculous to even think it was usable. We were told our room was an upgrade because the window faced the water. It wasn’t an upgrade. It was a disappointment. Bathroom was so small the shower was nearly impossible to use without making a mess. Recommend people not accepting rooms this size.

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.

Worth a visit

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.

My stay at Center Hotels Arnarhvoll was fantastic. We were given a welcome gift of desserts to celebrate our honeymoon. Customer service, comfort and cleanliness were amazing. The rooms had great amenities. The cocktails at the bar were by far the most affordable in the city. I found the location very convenient, everything was within walking distance. There are a few parking spots available but P3 paid parking is located right beside the hotel and was very affordable. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

Prime location in Reykjavik, walking distance of literally EVERYTHING. Amazing staff and amazing service, only gripe was this location didn’t offer massages like their other locations, breakfast could have been better and rooms could have been a little bigger. Very clean hotel, and staff was extremely pleasant and helpful

Popular spot because of easy access to tour pickup stops, the harbour, and a wonderful 8th floor breakfast and evening bar with a Harbour view. Rooms are small but adequate and elevators are fast. The hairdryer in our room was not working but they couldn't replace the wall unit during our stay. Front desk very cordial and helpful. Good choice!

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.
