Hotel Reykjavík Grand

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and neat."

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Grandi for 6 days. It was great! Loved the spa amenities and the buffet breakfast. It was in a perfect location. Staff gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We loved Iceland. The downside was the gym! Very small with few pieces of equipment. My husband and I could not work out at the same time."

Hotel Reykjavik Saga

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean nice hotel on a Main Street walking distance to just about everything in Reykjavik. Would definitely stay here again. Everything was great. If I had to provide some advice on improvements since the hotel looks to be a fairly new one: 1) room temperature thermostat and lighting was way too complicated to figure out - super high tech but we just wanted to turn the heat and air off but couldn’t. 2) keep the gym open later and open it earlier. Tourists like to work out early in the AM or late at night when their family is still asleep and the day hasn’t started."

Center Hotels Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at Center Hotels - Plaza! We chose an 8th floor room with our own balcony, which are all on the back side of the hotel, which helped as I know others have said the plaza facing rooms can get a lot of noise from the plaza itself as there are bars/restaurants. The room was super clean, beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was large and really nice as well! The only thing is that the rooms get verrrry hot during the day when the sun is shining, we would keep the curtains closed and it would still heat up a ton - luckily we would just open the balcony door and the small window and get the fan blowing and it would cool off quickly, but I could imagine in a room without a balcony door to open and only a small window it would be way too hot. We had shared it was our honeymoon and they left us cards and some treats in the room which was really sweet of them. Tough that there's no parking, but there is a garage nearby and lots of street parking 1-2 blocks behind the hotel which didn't end up being that bad. The location is incredible, the restaurants in the plaza with the patios are really fun and convenient, and the whole city feels very walkable from this hotel! We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Reykjavik!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Bakkar?

The best time to visit Bakkar is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its mildest and the days are long.

During this period, you'll experience the famous Midnight Sun, where daylight extends late into the evening, sometimes even through the night. This allows for more time to explore the city and its surroundings without feeling rushed. Temperatures are typically comfortable, ranging from 10°C to 15°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, sightseeing, and boat tours.

This time of year is great for families, as the milder weather makes it easier to enjoy attractions like the Laugardalslaug geothermal pool or the Reykjavík Zoo and Family Park. Couples will also appreciate the long evenings for romantic strolls along the waterfront or enjoying dinner with a view.

For those interested in whale watching, summer is also peak season, with various species frequenting the Faxaflói Bay just off the coast.
