Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Center Hotels Arnarhvoll is conveniently located within walking distance of shops and restaurants, near Harpa Bus Stop 5, and provides a great self-serve locker system for luggage storage. The rooftop bar offers great views, while the breakfast area on the 8th floor provides a similarly beautiful vista; the breakfast itself is considered good, although some have noted that the buffet selection isn't extensive. Guests can also enjoy the spa facilities. While some rooms have been described as small, deluxe rooms feature fantastic views and amenities like a mini fridge and Nespresso machine.
