Þingholt By Center Hotels

​We had a wonderful experience staying at Þingholt by Center Hotels. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and helpful. Arriving off an early flight, we were thrilled when they accommodated an early check-in for us at 10:00 AM—it made a massive difference to our trip and set such a positive tone for our entire stay. ​The room was spotless, comfortable, and maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness throughout our visit. Breakfast every morning was simply fantastic. They offer an extensive spread with bacon, eggs, fresh pancakes, fruit, and virtually everything else you could want to fuel up for a long day of sightseeing. Also, we had an early check-out at 4:30 AM, so they gave us a grab-and-go breakfast, a croissant and coffee as well. ​The location is unbeatable. It is situated right in the center, making it easy to walk everywhere in downtown Reykjavik. Best of all, it is just steps away from Bus Stop 3, which made tour pickups and drop-offs completely seamless and stress-free. ​Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the Thingholt apartments - not the hotel. The apartment was clean and the location was fine. Where we were was one street over from the check in at the hotel - the apartments are separate so don't bring your luggage to hotel check in if you're in the apartments because you'll be lugging them one street over. There are steps up to the apartments, so know that if you have heavy luggage. We had some lead footed people above us that made for unpleasant stomping sounds. There are apartments behind too that I am not sure if they are the same apartment complex or not. The walkways into and out of these apartments was literally right next to our bedroom window so we had to keep closing curtains to avoid people looking in at eye level to us. It was uncomfortable. The apartment itself was fine - had everything you needed in the kitchen and it was clean, but it was a little cramped when the sofabed was open. The pebbled floor around the main bed can be rough on the feet. The bathroom shower was a bit dated - the showerhead either had rust or mold on it - I couldn't quite tell which. While the washing machine was a bonus, it only had hot water and completely ruined a pair of shoes that we washed. The water hookups are in the closet above the washer and only hot water is hooked up - no cold. The hot water is extremely hot and just melted these shoes. Never seen anything like it. Also, the shower has no shelves, so the bottle of bodywash they provided fell off the faucets it was sitting on and broke open so we had to use handsoap the rest of the stay. The bed was comfy and the kitchen was well appointed and the staff at check in were nice. It was a reasonable stay.

Amazing service and attention from the staff members. Rodrigo was particularly attentive. We enjoyed very much our stay there. The breakfast is really good. Natural and good quality. Beds are comfortable, shower good pressure and temperature. The location of this hotel is unique. You have a really good sushi restaurant beside the hotel. You can get to the most important places to see in less than 12 minutes walking. Definitively a good option.

Location was great and parking was not too difficult to manage within a few blocks with my rental car. The room was quite small and tight but worked out well. Comfortable bed and pillows, quiet room that made sleep easy. Clean room. Breakfast was convenient and tasty each morning, though felt like the spread was a little limited compared to other European hotels I stayed at later in my stay. The morning "to go" breakfast service felt like a bit of joke - a coffee and tiny croissant for the same price as a full breakfast.
