Hotel Reykjavík Grand

8/10 Good

"The property was nice but there was a trip hazard coming out of the rooms on the first floor just before the steps. Also the light switches were confusing"

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel in a very convenient part of Reykevik. We stayed here our last night in Iceland before flying home. The room was nice and large enough to repack our belongings after 2.5 weeks of driving. Nice bar and a great bakery attached to the hotel."

The Reykjavik EDITION

10/10 Excellent

"Very very room, the staff was very helpful, short distance to city center, over all a great stay."

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying at Cityhub, location was great, really good value for money. I was a bit skeptical about the communal bathroom situation but found it perfectly fine, showers are individual and behind lockable doors with shelves and hangers for your stuff so you have plenty of privacy for the whole process, everything was always clean, shampoo and shower gel provided. Loved that the communal kitchen provided a fridge as well as kettle grill etc so we weren’t as limited with snacks as I thought we might be. Beds were clean and comfortable and staff were helpful and friendly. Over all I have no complaints, you get exactly what you need and exactly what you expect when booking :)"
