Loved our ocean view. Convenient walking to eateries and shopping and sites. Believed we had a guaranteed parking spot for our rental car. Only 5 spots provided by hotel for a hundred rooms. We had to scramble looking for paid parking, would have been good to know ahead of time - full disclosure on that!

This particular Center Hotel “Arnarhvoll” has a breakfast buffet but does not have any other dining options available in the hotel. There are options within walking distance which are good. It’s a detail we missed when making our booking. Spectacular seaside views from the rooftop area. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We would stay there again.

Amazing stay!

The hotel was great! Amazing staff, the buffet was pretty good, and the view is incredible. The rooms are of adequate size, but the only thing we thought was uncomfortable was that there’s no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.
