"Hello, fellow travelers! Here’s a quick and honest review of this property.
Quick Wins:
1) Breakfast Options: If you book a room with breakfast, you’ll enjoy a good selection of food. Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. sharp.
2) Great Location: The hotel is in the heart of Reykjavik, just a 10- 15-minute walk to Rainbow Street and the iconic church.
3) Honest Staff: I once left my jacket and wallet in the dining area, and thankfully, they were saved!
4) Lockers Available: You can store your luggage and carry-on items securely.
5) Family-Oriented Lobby: There’s a nice hangout area that’s great for meetings and socializing.
Some Hiccups:
1) No Gym Amenities: The Center Plaza Hotel does not offer gym facilities.
2) Basic Room Quality: The rooms are typical of budget hotels.
3) Busy Hotel: The hotel can get quite crowded. I went down for breakfast at 7 a.m. once, and it was packed! I found that going later helped.
4) Limited Perks for VIP Expedia Travelers: There weren’t many benefits during my stay. I had to remind the front desk about my status, and they provided me with one complimentary drink.
5) Tour Pickup Issues: The hotel does not offer pick-up for tours. The nearest bus stop for pickups is a 5-10 minute walk from City Hall Bus Stop 1. However, if you're traveling with a group or family, there are plenty of taxis available right outside the hotel."
