I had a single room, so it was small, but perfect for my needs. Location was fantastic, right on Laugavegur, could walk to all kinds of fun places. Rainbow street was a block away. Very friendly and helpful staff. This was the second time I have stayed at a Center Hotel, and I found both locations (Skjaldbreid and Bingholt) to be very clean and comfortable, and well within my budget. Highly recommend.

The general hotel and room decor was a bit tired and in need of a refresh. The hotel is also situated on a pedestrianized street, so it's hard to get close to it with luggage from a car.

We have no complaints. The hotel is in the middle of town with numerous places to eat, things to do, and even the Corner Market grocery store. It is only a couple of blocks from Bus Stop #6. Our room was very clean and comfortable, breakfast was wonderful, and the front desk staff were very nice and helpful.

There was the Bookshop Bar across the street that stayed open all night. We heard noisy people at the bar and right outside out window, drunk and laughing. One moning they even tried to enter the building - so drunk or drugged out. Never slept because of all the noise. We could not wait to get out of that hotel.

Great Hotel in a Great Location

The hotel is a short walk from the bus stop. It’s on a main road, so there are shops and restaurants all around it. I was able to check in early for a small fee (less than $20). The hotel rooms are nice and large enough to sort through my bags. The breakfast was delicious. The only negative is that you do have to walk up a few steps to get in to the hotel. I would definitely stay here again!

Location location lication!

The location can't be beat! I stayed 2 seperate nights. The first night the room was tiny with two small single beds. Was right on main street with no soundproof. The second stat was much better, room was larger with doublebed, back side and quiet.
