I could have gone higher if I was suitably equipped. The bus itself was well equipped, though the kettle took a long time to boil. We planned our hot drinks well in advance.

Miðgarður by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"very clean and location is very near downtown. the breakfast is very nice."

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was a wonderful experience! The front desk staff was extremely accommodating and the desk was staffed 24/7, which was so convenient. It was completely silent at night. One of our best nights sleep of our trip. Pods were well laid out so there was plenty of room for 2 adults and all of our luggage. Bathrooms were nice and well stocked. Honestly, I don’t have any complaints. The kitchen was well-stocked with add-ons (beverages, mostly). There is a laundry service with reasonable prices, but I didn’t use it so I can’t speak to the quality of the service. The room was very clean, no weird smell. The location was great. When I am next in Reykjavik, I will absolutely be staying here again!"

"Lovely staff, wonderful breakfast, nice hotel and great location. I thought they had a spa, but their spa was actually a lounge … no sauna or soaking….. otherwise perfect."

Hotel Laxnes

8/10 Good

"Very quiet area of town outside Reykjavik. Hotel was clean and had plenty of amenities. Only scary part was someone walking into our hotel room at 2am because the door wasn’t closed properly. Didn’t learn till after that you have to lift door for it to properly lock. Overall, was a nice stay"
