Grandi by Center Hotels

Grandi by Center Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel itself is absolutely wonderful. Great staff, great bar, great secure luggage storage that held two large bags in a single locker with a self-service key. The location is just a tiny bit farther from the main walkway of Reykjavik but this was not truly consequential for my family, others may want to just find a place that dumps them off directly onto the main pedestrian drag perhaps. In reality, this hotel was exceptional!"

"Very nice and clean hotel. The staff were very helpful and attentive. It's a good place to stay when visiting Iceland, just be aware that it's about a 20 min drive to Reykjavik. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming and there wasn't a fridge in the room, but other than that, we had a great stay!"

"The hotel has a lot of unique charm. Much better than the cookie-cutter corporate crap, the vibe is hip & comfy, and I appreciated all the common areas. As expected, the private rooms are much nicer than the dorms, which are cramped and not the most comfy. Location is excellent - and the bar downstairs is a nice touch."
