Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast Very central location"

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful hotel - would highly recommend. We stayed in King Deluxe Suite and found it spacious and comfortable. Slept very well with comfy beds, nice linens and blackout curtains. Our section of the hotel was a bit warm sometimes but opening the window helped and the front desk offered a fan. Reception was very helpful - we were able to check in 1 hour early and they loaned us an adapter as well. Breakfast was great - a nice variety of options - fruit, skyr/yogurt, eggs, sausage, potatoes, salmon, pastries, variety of bread, toppings, pancakes, oatmeal and cereal, plus juice, coffee/tea. Location is perfect in the middle of Reykjavík and hotel and amenities were in good condition and just as described. Gym sauna and hot tub were nice to have. I would definitely stay again!"
