Centerhotel Arnarhvoll - Reykjavik

Litt lytt mellom rommene og ut i gangen. Frokosten var ikke den beste men helt grei.

Rent og pent hotell, små rom, men veldig tidsriktig interiør. Bra beliggenhet. Sparsom men ok frokost inkludert i prisen. Halvparten av resepsjonistene var veldig vennlige, hjelpsomme og imøtekommende. Kunne bodd der igjen. Spør om rom med havutsikt :-)

Fin og intim atmosfære - hyggelig og hjelpsomt personale - stille og fin beliggenhet - nært nok til det meste. Litt små rom - grei frokost!

Flott beliggenhet ved Harpa som er Islands nye kulturbygg. Kort veg til Laugavegur med butikker. Stille området som hotellet ligger i. Rommene er ganske små og minimalistisk. Ingen ventilasjon i rommet som vi fant i allefall. Fliser på gulvet. Dusjene har bare 1 dusjvegg som gjør at hele baet blir vått når en dusjer. Frokosten serveres i toppetasjen […] med flott utsikt. Dessverre er logistikken rundt buffet utrolig dårlig planlagt. kaffekopper en plass, og kaffen i detn andre enden av lokalet. Helt enkel og grei frokost med skinke, ost, syltetøy og noen varmretter. Vi hadde rom i 1.etg, noe som du bør unngå. ;ye bråk om kvelden da all konversasjon i resepsjonsområdet høres godt inn i rommet. Sats heller på noen etasjer opp. Les mer

Greie ansatte som hjalp til med alt vi lurte på, Frokosten kunne vært hakket hvassere, men utsikten fra toppetasjen der den serveres veier opp for det. Hotellet ligger over gaten fra Reykjaviks nye og flotte opera, 5 minutters gange fra sentrum! Vel verdt ett besøk!

Bodde fire dager på Arnahvoll, beliggenhet rett ved den nye operaen, "sjangleavstand" til sentrum. Bodde i 6.etg, noe trafikkstøy fra den store veien mellom hotellet og operaen dersom vinduet åpnes. Nakent og "kjølig" rom uten skap, kun en hylle. Ikke varmekabler på baderomsgulv. WiFi-signalet forsvant i 6.etg, men funker i lobbyen. Hyggelig og imøtekommende […] betjening, kjempefin utsikt fra frokostsalen i 8.etg, hvor man også kan sitte på takterrasse i pent vær. God frokost. "Spa" i kjelleren til ok pris med sauna, hot tub og steam room, sistnevnte funka ikke. Synes hotellet var greit, men noe dyrt i forhold til fasilitetene. For yngre reisende vil Kex Hostel være et billigere, mer sosialt og definitivt kulere alternativ. Les mer

Hotellet lå sentralt til i forhold til handlegate og restauranter og barer. Vi synes rommet vi først ble tildelt var litt lite, men det var overhodet ikke noe problem med å få byttet. Det var gjort på et blunk, og servicen var upåklagelig. Vi fikk raskt svar på våre hendvendelser, og de ansatte var smilende og hyggelig og svært behjelpelig

Alt som forventet eller bedre med unntak av dusjen i badet som manglet skikkelig dusjvegg slik at badet ble veldig vått.

var tre netter på hotellet i oktober. hyggelig personale, effektiv inn og utsjekking. behjelpelig med spørsmål om utflukter. frokost var buffet, både varm og kald. samme hver dag. rommet var moderne og en god seng. minus at det bare var en dusjdør på badet, så det ble vått på hele badet når man dusjet. hotellet hadde fem parkeringplasser tilgjengelig. […] ellers var det mange parkeringer i nærheten.

Veldig hyggelige og hjelpsomme folk i resepsjonen. Takk for gode turforslag. Hadde en fantastisk flott tur til Vestfjordene. Isafjordur, Skaulavik og Bolarfjell

Hotellet ligger nede ved sjøen/havnen der den nye operaen bygges. Det er dessverre noe byggestøy fra anleggsplassen. Rommene er ganske små og blir trange da det plasseres 3 senger i de. Frokosten er vedlig bra med det meste som man kan ønske seg. Utsiketen fra frokostrommet er utover fjorden og fjellene. Her kan man også spise ute på verandaen hvis […] vært er fint/varmt. Gangavstand til det meste i sentrum. Les mer

Dette var vårt første besøk til Reykjavik, og valget av hotell var forholdsvis tilfeldig. Vi ønsket å bo sentralt, med lett tilgang til det meste, og i så måte var dette et meget godt valg. Beliggenheten er veldig bra. Hotellets resepsjon er lite innbydende. Den virker kald og mørk, og vårt første inntrykk av hotellet var derfor skuffelse. Vi angret […] faktisk på valg av hotell da vi ankom. Personalet i resepsjonen var heller ikke særlig imøtekommende. Vi savnet et smil og "velkommen til oss" da vi ankom. Personalet var opptatt med et eller annet, og enset oss ikke før etter lang tid. Da virket de forholdsvis stresset, og vi følte nesten at vi var til bryderi for dem. Dette er ofte personavhengig, og den ene resepsjonisten viste seg etterhvert å være imøtekommende, mens de to andre virket sure og litt avvisende gjennom hele oppholdet. Det er langt mellom smilene som deles ut i den resepsjonen, dessverre. Kanskje litt trening på service og kundepleie kunne hjelpe? Dessverre er det slik at første inntrykket ofte blir stående i hukommelsen. Hotellet ligger ved en trafikkert ringvei, og våre rom vendte ut mot sjøen og veien. Rommene var godt lydisolerte, så vi opplevde ikke støy. Vi valgte å oppgradere rommet til "superior room", men følte ikke at vi fikk noe ekstra igjen for denne oppgraderingen. Badet er veldig lite, og dusjløsningen dårlig. Det er ubehagelig når hele badet blir vått etter en dusj. Sengene, derimot, var meget behagelige, så på nattesøvnen var det ingenting å utsette. Renholdet var upåklagelig. Renholderne var også vennlige og smilende. Det er også et pluss at det er en restaurant i tilknytning til hotellet. I vårt tilfelle, var dette meget bra da vi reiste sammen med eldre mennesker, som ikke lett kunne ta seg ut om kveldene. Vi la to kveldsbesøk til restauranten,og begge var bra. Utsikten er upåklagelig, og servicen i restauranten var meget bra!. Her ble vi møtt med den vennlighet og de smilene vi savnet i resepsjonen. Maten var også grei. Det samm Les mer

Kjempebra hotell som anbefales. Bra service, bra frokost, bra spa bra rom, sentralt. Byggearbeid utenfor vinduet. Men det er alt og trekke for.

Meget bra service av betjeningen, renslig og ryddig. Lite fellesrom. Restauranten drevet av andre enn hotellet, men det var stor imøtekommenhet og meget god mat.

Fin beliggenhet og et eksklusivt preg. Kort avstand til sentrum av Reykjavik. Også greie parkeringsmuligheter

Helt grei standard, kort vei til hovedgaten og resten av byen.

Rent og pent, men enkle rom. Pen restaurant som ikke var åpen. Virket uferdig. Hypermoderne. Resepsjonister som ikke er særlig behjelpelige. Generelt skuffet over service og at restauranten ikke var åpen. Fin utsikt.

Hotellets beliggenhet er ypperlig ved vannkanten i Reykjavik sentrum med gangavstand til "alt". Hotellets betjening var hyggelige og hjelpsomme og kvaliteten på rom og frokost var bra. Det eneste som trakk litt ned var romvasken. Både bad og rom var tilsynelatende rene ved ankomst, men at vinduene nesten ikke var til å se igjennom og et par døde mygg […] i vinduskarmen reduserte tilliten til renheten noe. Alt i alt et bra hotell med god service og fantastisk beliggenhet som kan anbefales. Les mer

Svært serviceinnstilte, behjelpelige ansatte. Hotellet ligger veldig fint til. I åttende etasje spiser man frokost, med utsikt på havet og fjellet i bakgrunnen, og på en svær byggeplass nedenfor hotellet, i havnen ved vannkanten; Det skal bli Reykjaviks opera! Frokosten er like minimalistisk som hotellets utforming inne. Det ble dessverre ikke påfull […] av mat eller drikke før man ba om det. Og teposer kunne de dessverre ikke love å kunne skaffe i løpet av uken engang. Alt kan ha sammenheng med den økonomiske krisen på Island, og kanskje særlig for dette hotellet. Ingen gjest klage høytt! Men mange sukket. Les mer

Beliggenhet og utsikt fra Skybar mor havnen var flott, frokot med selvstekte vaffler er også et pluss, samt at hotellet var stilrent og elegant. Minus er små rom og miniatyr bad. Heller ikke helt fornøyd med servicen, da det tok lang tid å oppnå kontakt selv om vi var allene ved annkomst, og vennligheten uteble når vi først fikk hjelp.

Well located near new concert hall and with great views over the bay from the breakfast room, but enough off the main street to avoid noise at night etc. Breakfast is ok with some hot food (scrambled eggs, sausages & beans) available with cold cuts and some fruit but could do with a better selection particularly of fruit and berries etc. Bed comfortable […] and bathroom good.

Just spent 5 nights here and had a great time. This is a perfect location to walk everywhere and the breakfast was better than most you get in the states. Make sure you ask to use the spa downstairs-they don't advertise it much but it is great! Our room was really small but comfy-if you have traveled in Europe you will be used to this size room. Free […] wifi was good and fast but can only be used for webpages, not programs. Les mer

If you've never been to reykjavik before you might worry that this hotel is a bit out of it, but actually it's by no means out of it. A 2 minute stroll takes you to the main shopping street & night economy street. You'll be delighted you didn't pick a hotel on those streets!! Fantastic coastal views (from the deluxe room, worth the little extra so go […] for it!), excellent multi-lingual staff who really will sort anything out for you, and all the facilities you will need from a hotel to base yourself for the huge variety of sightseeing.

We stayed at the CH Arnarhvoll for a few nights and was very pleased. We got a room with a great view of the water and mountains. The location was central, there was free parking (although limited spaces), the breakfast was plentiful (hot and cold) and included. The rooms had no complaints. So all in all, for the price i would definitely recommend and […] ticks all the boxes. Les mer

Great location with a good view of the ocean (worth requesting one when you check in), just a 5 min walk to the main shopping streets and 5 min walk to the harbour. Very friendly and helpful staff who will help with tour bookings and dinner reservations. All tour groups offer pick up's and drop off's from right in front of the hotel including daily […] buses like the Netbus service to the Blue Lagoon and Flybus to the airport. The hotel spa downstairs has a hot water stone bath, steam room and sauna. Ask receptionf for bath robes, slippers, a couple of champagne flutes and an ice bucket and you can enjoy a relaxing and very romantic evening after your day's excursion with a bottle of bubbly for two in the spa! Breaksfast is pretty big, hot and cold buffet as well as a self-service waffel machine for a sweeter option. The restaurant is located at the top of the hotel providing a great panoramic view of the harbour while you sip your coffee. Apart from the slightly thin walls for those light sleepers (I wore ear plugs each night which didn't bother me) this is an ideal hotel and one I'd be happy to stay in again! Les mer

First the negs: We arrived exhausted to a surly clerk- who turned out to be just filling in, and got more pleasant over the next day. Our room was so small, in spite of the title and charges of "deluxe", that only one of us could move at a time. The towels were worn and/or stained. The breakfast was served in a dark room which doubled as a bar/restaurant- […] which is not what you need in Iceland in the winter. And you had to ask about the spa- if you didn't know you would never find out about it. Breakfast remained exactly the same day after day, and rather odd with noodles and beans and wienies in addition to the usual Icelandic fare. There are hefty surcharges to arrive early or leave late. On the plus side: Good location with a rental car- easy to get out of town and easy to find free on-street parking after business hours. It was an easy walk anywhere else we wanted to go. The rooms were warm (we went in February) and the real staff was professional and very helpful. The hot pool, saunas and steam room were clean and pleasant, and open long hours. On the whole, if the room had been larger, and if there had been space to unpack a bit (3 tiny shelves and 6 hangers in a double room didn't help much) I would be happy to call this more than a budget hotel that left me wondering if the hostel might be more comfortable.

The restaurant has great views of Esja, just across the water. Good location and close to town centre and Harpa Concert Hall. Rooms are a little small, but bed is very comfortable. Also, the bathroom is a wetroom, so a piece of rotating plexiglass creates your shower area. There's a sauna in the basement and you must contact staff to turn it on. Staff […] was very helpful with restaurant and tour information. Les mer

Good location, clean and friendly hotel. Room has no bath tub only shower which is a little disappointed. Spa has no massage bubbles which is a little bit strange. Overall an excellent budget hotel with basic breakfast.

very good service and friendly staff. rooms are very, very small and no place to hide or stow your lugage or your clothes. two people in the room and no place to move. but that is the only negative point of this hotel.

Excellent hotel, modern room which was always clean. Slightly more storage space would have been better (for clothes etc), but enough for the 4 days that we were there. Bathroom is more of a "wet room", where the shower soaks the whole room, but still a fantastic room. Hotel itself was brilliant, friendly staff who were always willing to offer local […] advice and tips (offering excellent restaurant advice). Spa in the lower level is a great touch, good to relax in after a long and cold day. No complaints about breakfast, good selection of food and attentive staff. Overall a fantastic stay, would gladly stay there again. Location was perfect (3 min walk from centre of town) with no local noise (although the room above us was noisy) and great views of the sea and surrounding mountains from the restaurant. Les mer

Excellent hotel in a central location, but just off from the noise. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and quiet, not much wardrobe space, but who cares?? All in all good value for money, would definitely return.

This was one of the nicer hotels we stayed at on our trip. Would highly recommend it to anyone. However, the Hotels.com website located this hotel in the center of the town. We were actually located on the North edge of town. The walk to the main activity was about 15 minutes. Evidently, there are 5 of these hotels in town. Anyone making a reservation […] should be sure to check which location the reservation is for. The one we stayed at was accross from the new Symphony Hall and is a new hotel. Les mer

Good clean hotel within walking distance of all to see in the city. We had a great view of the ocean, and the included breakfast was on the roof top. This provided a panorama view of the city. The flybus picks you up at the airport or blue lagoon and drops you at the front door of the hotel and visa versa.

This is absolutely the closest hotel to an event you might be attending at the Harpa convention and concert center. Very Scandinavian-feel design, everything works and is convenient. To top it off, the staff is friendly and helpful.

I'll admit I was somewhat of a sucker for the pics of this place, as boutique/design hotels in America tend to have interesting people watching and a lively bar scene. But this is not a "W" Hotel by any means, and the "design" aspect is basically just IKEA furniture. White walls in public areas just show dirt and dings, and the hotel in general just […] feels hastily built and ill-thought out. The room was very clean, but walls were paper thin and the bed wasn't very comfortable (why do hotels in Scandinavia have such narrow blankets?). The location isn't anywhere special, but anything in downtown Reykjavik is pretty much a 10 minute walk anywhere else. What I will say is the free breakfast on the top floor was EXCELLENT and possibly worth staying for alone. Although, my friend stayed at a cheaper hotel in the Centerhotels chain and it's basically the same amenities, beds, and linens, with just ugly 90's hotel furniture and dirtier carpet (breakfast was similar there too just a few less options). In short, I wouldn't pay a premium to stay here. Les mer

Really liked this hotel. I had no idea what to expect but it was great. The staff were extremely helpful. Would stay there again. The daylight curtains could cover the windows better so there is no daylight but that's just me.

This is a very nice hotel in a perfect location near the sea, and not far from center of town. Only criticism is the shower is not separated from main bathroom except by a movable plastic shield, so floor can be wet after use of shower. Our room had a great view of the sea and was quite comfortable.

The warmth, cooperation and simple friendliness of the people was perhaps the best. Th hotel location and superb price made the experience very positive.

We came in on a morning flight from the US and even though check-in wasn't until 2pm they let us have the room since it was ready at 9am. Good value and they respond very quickly to emails. The location is excellent, about 2 blocks from the main downtown street. Room faced the water which was another added perk. They were able to provide me with an […] ethernet cable to access the free internet in the room although I'd suggest bringing one since I'm pretty sure they only had the one cable. Free breakfast was good and added to the value since food there is not cheap. Overall I'd say it's a good pick. Les mer

The hotel is is a good location but I would not condsider a full service hote. The front desk did not have adaptors or lan cords for the computers. My first room was cramped and the bathroom was miniscule. I changed rooms and was very satisfied.

The hotel was affordable and in a great location. It was clean but we had to ask for maid service, they overlooked cleaning our room one day. The showers are tiny and it is very easy to flood the bathroom. The beds are very comfortable but small.

We booked fairly last minute and got a good price, especially for the quality of a 3 star hotel. The rooms were simple but clean and spacious. The hotel is in a good location - walking distance to everything. The breakfast is great and has a lovely view. The spa area is lovely downstairs as well. We were in a group of 4 and bought our own wine and took […] down there to drink, and no one seemed to mind. Would highly recommend to stay for a simple but nice hotel in Reykjavik. Les mer

During our trip to Iceland we stayed at both the Center Hotel Arnarhvoll and Center Hotel Plaza in Reykjavik, within a couple days of each other, so I'm in a good position to compare the two. If I had to choose between them, I'm not sure which I would prefer because the pluses and minuses I observed basically cancel each other out. Overall, they were […] both a good deal and provided everything we needed. As other reviewers have indicated, these hotels are in the center of all the action, which is great if you want to explore Reykjavik on foot. We had a room with a view of the harbor at Arnahvoll, which was much nicer than our view of the side of a building at the Plaza, but otherwise the rooms were very similar. Small, but sufficient. The bathrooms are quite tiny with showers that are barely separated from the toilet, so this may be a bit uncomfortable for American tourists accustomed to full bathrooms with closing shower doors and/or bathtubs. No big loss unless you plan to spend a lot of time in the shower. The bathroom was somewhat bigger at the Plaza, but I'm sure that varies room to room in both locations. The breakfast at the Plaza was superior to the breakfast at Arnahvoll, and for me this was the most notable difference. Both hotels are very conveniently located, although Arnahvoll has more adjacent parking available so that's a plus if you will have a car. Les mer
