Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

Good location, friendly helpful staff. Clean comfortable room, I got upgraded. Breakfast very good.

This hotel overlooks the harbour and The Harpa so our view was excellent. Our room was warm, relatively spacious, we were on the 5th floor and there was very little noise at night. We did not use the spa, it consisted of a sauna and a hot tub but we were never in the hotel long enough to use this facility. Reception staff were friendly informative and able to answer all of our questions. The sky bar on the 8th floor doubled as both the bar and restaurant for breakfast, the views from here are very good, at night its very atmospheric overlooking the Harpa and the harbour, both lit up, during the day the backdrop to both is snow covered mountains. Breakfast was the same every day, quite varied, selection of cold meats, cheeses or cooked food on offer, we had breakfast on four mornings and the food improved the earlier you ate, the staff in the restaurant didn't seem to like engaging with hotel guests, they tended to congregate behind the coffee machine and avoid any contact if possible. The bar is nicely furnished but its certainly the views that make it appealing. Our room was comfortable with everything we needed, ample room for myself and my friend, the small fridge was a bonus, housekeeping was excellent. The hotel is situated immediately across the road from bus stop no 5 which is used by all the tour/transfer buses so a perfect location also ideally situated for access the main shopping/nightlife of the city. I would stay at this hotel again if ever visiting Iceland again and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone thinking of going there.

Although there were few free spaces for cars, the car parking just outside the hotel by the main road was cheap and good. The rooms were cosy and comfy. The breakfast was your usual "all you can eat" type buffet but each morning there was enough for us to have to be set until lunch time. Staff were friendly and helpful. The receptionist always had a smile on their face each time we got through the door. They even helped me post a postcard to family! If you have booked tour bus excursions, they usually pick up outside a hostel called "KEX" this was only a 7 minute walk from the hotel which we found ideal too!

The staff was excellent and very responsive our needs and concerns, especially when our room became uncomfortably warm. The breakfast was fantastic and the service their was equally as good.

We stayed at this hotel and were absolutely delighted. The room was cozy and clean, and the view from the window was simply breathtaking — it was a joy to start the day with such a beautiful scene. Special thanks to the staff: everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. They responded quickly and warmly to any questions or requests, creating a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere throughout our stay. The breakfast also deserves a special mention — it was varied, delicious, and made even more enjoyable by the stunning view. This is definitely a place we would love to return to. Highly recommended!
