The 46-room CenterHotel Klopp is a well-kept two-and-a-half-pearl property located near the city’s main shopping street and a short walk from lots of hip cafes and bars. Decor is sober throughout, with just a touch of color here and there. Rooms vary in size – some are small and some more spacious – and all have flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. The restaurant only serves breakfast, but there’s lots of eating and drinking options close by. A free continental buffet breakfast is included in room rates, and there’s a cosy lounge area with a single computer terminal for guest use. Visitors looking to splash out may try Hotel Borg instead, which has a sauna, spa and fitness center, but no free breakfast.

With its central location on one of the oldest streets in Reykjavik, City Center Hotel is surrounded by shopping, dining, and nightlife. The convenient spot makes a great mid-range choice for travelers seeing the city on foot, though a lack of parking may pose a challenge for others.

The 30 contemporary rooms are sharp and compact, but noise issues are a potential problem in some. It's worth checking rates at the nearby CenterHotel Plaza, which includes free breakfast.

It's difficult to get more bare-bones than Atlantic Apartments & Rooms, though for those on a budget, its clean, hostel-like rooms and studio apartments might do the trick at a price lower than what one will generally find in Reykjavik. It's a 14-minute drive from the center of town. Although it's fine for a couple nights' stay, those looking to be closer to the center of the action might want to go for a property in the city center proper, as the units can be on the drab side and for those not intent on self-catering, there aren't as many cafes or restaurants in the area. If being central is more important than bargain rates, the CenterHotel Klopp is a value property that might fit the bill.
