Great place

Check-in was frustrating; we were given a key to an occupied room multiple times. Then finally we were given a key for an available room but it didn't work. Took multiple trips back down to the counter to get it resolved. It was over one full hour between check-in and actually getting into a room. Not only that, we didn't even stay at the location we first booked. One day before the trip we were moved across the city. Very annoying.

The location is great. Right in the heart of downtown. 2-3 blocks to the sea, 4-5 blocks to Hallgrimskirkja church. Tons of restaurants and bars within blocks. There is no parking, but we parked at Hallgrimskirkja church for free. The hotel was nice and clean. Breakfast was simple and nice. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The staff at CenterHotel Skjaldbreid was AMAZING! Anna who works at the front desk, went above and beyond for us. She helped us with an issue we were having with a tour group and had many suggestions on what we could do to fill our last couple days in Reykjavik. Not to mention, the location was great and the breakfast was enjoyable. We will hopefully be back.

I liked the location and its proximity to shopping, restaurants and bus stops.

The room was nice. It wasn't extravagant, but it served its purpose during a quick trip to Iceland, i.e. a spot to rest and get some sleep. The bathroom was a little small but otherwise no complaints about the room. The complimentary breakfast was a nice addition and the hotel's location is perfect for walking around Reykjavik.

Had a great time. Would stay here again on my next trip.

Positives- very helpful staff and location is excellent. Negatives- room is a bit tired and walls are thin.

we were very happy, friendly front desk people, some noise from the street and builders of new hotel.

The hotel is well located. However the room is very small and the shower is tiny. We used the breakfast room to gather. The staff was very helpful

Wonderful staff. Hard to find at first picture on line shows corner entrance which was actually the Apothecary

Good location for important attractios, wakable, good breakfast

Not fancy but everything you need and in an amazing location

There is a bar downstairs and it plays all night long. We had to leave for our flight around 4AM and the beat at the bar was still pumping so loud that I could feel it through the floor. Needless to say, I got no sleep at all.

First room smelled of urine and mold. They did change my room which was much better, but cleanliness was still questionable, there was unwrapped candy in a corner leftover from a previous guest. Also, paint chips everywhere, faulty television and minimal cold breakfast, mainly consisting of oats and bread.

Nice hotel on Main Street with shops and restaurants close by. Friendly and helpful staff . Room basic but clean and fairly quiet.

The hotel was in the center of downtown and close to everything. The hotel was roomy and warm; however, the bathroom could use some work ( a better shower head) since it wasn't working great and it was a bit rusty.
