Center Hotels Plaza

The hotel location was excellent! We had a special rate that included free early check in, if available. As our flight arrived at 6 am, we were excited about that. We were able to get into our room by 11:00 am. The breakfast area was large and had lots of options. Our room was very comfortable and we looked out over a courtyard. Nice dark curtains for blocking out the light too. We really liked the location right on the Plaza in the old town area. Easy walking to everywhere in Reykjavik. The staff was very nice and accommodating (stowing our luggage till we could get our room), etc.

We have a different experience with this hotel from the time we checked in, there were two young women at the counter and neither one says welcome or hello not even a smile. When you travel so far away to get to Iceland a nice smile would be nice and the cost to stay in the hotel is not even worth a 3star. The building looks nice outside. Location is great since it is truly the center of all and walking distance to everywhere and near the bus station. Breakfast is generous although menu is the same everyday considering food is very expensive. The staff in the breakfast area are all hard working and making sure food is replenished. As others mentioned shower area is so tiny I am petite and can’t barely move around. The flooring of the unit is dirty. When we checked in we were asked to note if we want daily cleaning and I opted for daily. Of course the first day no cleaning, the second day they fixed the bed and replaced towel but floors were not cleaned. The phone to call front desk is useless.

A group of friends celebrating our collective 60th birthdays took a trip to Iceland. Our first stop was Reykjavik and we couldn't be more pleased with our accommodations at the Center Hotels Plaza. The location, right in the heart of the Old City, could not be beat. Everything was accessible right outside our door. The rooms are small but well equipped. Our only complaint is that the bathroom lacks any privacy - the door is not a full door and the frosted glass allows light to shine through. If you are sharing a room this can be a challenge. The rooms are also very warm due to the geothermal heating. The windows open and leaving them ajar alleviated the issue. Beds were comfortable. Rooms in the rear of the hotel are blissfully quiet while those in the front can be noisy due to the neighborhood. ||The hotel staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. The breakfast buffet provides the perfect start to days of exploring this lovely city. ||We absolutely recommend the Center Hotels Plaza to anyone looking to explore and enjoy a stay in Reykjavik!

I chose a small room and I love the location they gave me on the first floor. The tiny room warmed up quickly whenever I needed the radiator, and the windows opening out into a courtyard served as a lovely way to cool things down and bring in some fresh air. It was convenient to walk out the door and go downstairs for coffee and an amazing breakfast. The staff was cheerful and helpfully provided suggestions for local restaurants and directions for getting around town. I would stay here again.

We stayed at Center Hotels Plaza in their best room on the top 8th floor, which came with rooftop balcony access and a breathtaking view of Reykjavík city. It truly made our Iceland trip feel special. A big shoutout to RONJA at the front desk - her cheerful personality and warm hospitality made our stay extra memorable. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The hotel is located right in the heart of the city, amidst all the hustle and bustle. With countless eateries around and most main excursion pick-up points just a short walk away, the location is absolutely 10/10 - especially for first-time visitors to Iceland. Highly recommend for anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and a memorable experience in Reykjavík! Ps. They also have an attached Gelato shop and departmental store!

Positives: The hotel is very centrally located and within easy walking distance of BSI and attractions around Reykjavik, with a tour bus pickup within a few minutes walk. The rooms were very clean, had good water pressure from the showers, cold and clear-tasting water from the tap, and the beds were comfortable. The hotel also has storage lockers for bags before check-in/after check-out, which was very helpful, and a good complimentary breakfast with direct booking.||||Negatives/things to note: The hotel is very centrally located, which apparently means there is a loud karaoke bar across the plaza until at least 1am (4:30am on weekends), offset by skateboarding much of the day. I would recommend specifically requesting a quieter room that does not face the plaza (and the front desk staff was very helpful with getting us moved partway through our stay). The hotel also does not have air conditioning (as seems standard for accommodations in Iceland), but the windows a bit open for some cooling. The blackout curtains are good, but may take some finessing to get them to completely cover the windows if you're visiting during summer and really need them (as opposed to our September stay with a more standard day/night cycle).

We were greeted with smiles and helpfulness. Our room 602 was opened up for us at 10 am which was amazing! 602 is a large corner room with wonderful views in each direction. All the staff were great throughout our stay. The hotel is clean comfortable and is in a great location. Thanks for the welcome drinks and we look forward to our next stay next week.

The staff at this hotel were all wonderful,but one was exceptional. His name is Mohammed. He was a tremendous help when my husband had a bad episode. We are very grateful to him . Things could have been much worse.|The rooms are comfortable , clean , and quiet.|The location couldn’t have been better. We are both in our late seventies and found everything accesssible.
