I had a pleasant stay at Center Hotels Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik. The location was fantastic, offering stunning sea views and easy access to city attractions. The spa was a highlight for me, providing a relaxing atmosphere after a day of exploring. However, I found the bed size and the sulfur smell in the hot water disappointing. Overall, it was a good experience, though there were areas for improvement. 🌊✨

My stay at Center Hotels Arnarhvoll had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, situated right in the center of Reykjavik and just across from the harbor, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. However, the room was smaller than expected, and I wasn't a fan of the wet room design in the bathroom, which resulted in a very damp experience. The breakfast was decent but didn't stand out compared to other options in the area.

I found Center Hotels Arnarhvoll to be a solid choice for my stay in Reykjavik, especially due to its central location and good breakfast spread. However, my experience was slightly marred by the state of my room, which felt worn and didn't quite match the 4-star expectations. Overall, it has great views and friendly staff, which made up for some shortcomings.
