"We stayed at Center Hotels Laugavegur two nights after a two-week cruise to be able to explore Reykjavík. This particular Center Hotels Laugavegur was inside the city center, easy walking distance to most-to-all the sites in Reykjavik. The hotel was clean and well maintained and had a great breakfast buffet that we enjoyed. The Staff stood out to us as very helpful to store our luggage and help us get taxis to various city destinations and to the airport. Cheers to the Staff, thank you!"
"Great location. The restaurant had one of the highest quality kid’s menu we experienced on the Ring Road. Our kids had the chicken tenders and butter noddles - for parent’s picking restaurants based on kids menus this was a win-win as adult meals were wonderful. We had originally planned to eat elsewhere but the staff overheard one of us say too bad there was no kid menu and we are so glad.
We booked 2 standard rooms for family of 4 (family rooms were sold out) and requested they be next to each other. Breakfast had plenty of healthy options."
"Loved our stay at the Exeter Hotel in Reykjavik, comfortable bed, great breakfast, fabulous shower, good location. The staff were helpful when we asked to store luggage in a friends room until ours was available, plus they have a secure area to store luggage if you arrive early in the day as we did. I would definitely stay there again."
