Like others, I too am puzzled how this hotel managed to get a 4-star rating. Perhaps it's the amount of services provided, but certainly the interiors and room size left something to be desired. The hotel is located on a street closed from traffic, so when coming with shuttle you should prepare for a brisk little walk with your luggage.... More

Rooms and hallways are basic with worn carpet. Reception/check in is just a small room on the second floor. Not really a lobby to speak of. Hotel is perfectly located right on the main shopping street. Was looking for an affordable option while in transit and this met my needs. Not sure how the 4 star rating came about though?

My husband and I stayed here over a weekend and were in a room on the top floor. The room was comfortable and the service very helpful, but at night the street noise was loud. The person manning the night desk was able to give us earplugs. If you're in Reykjavik to enjoy the nightlife it's a great central location... More

Great location and great value. Breakfast is included and very very good. Not the most posh furnishings or room size, however. I would stay here again based on value and breakfast. The CenterHotel chain in Reykjavik is a good one. Walking distance to the oldest community pool and hot tubs in Reykjavik. Just steps away to many good coffee shops... More

We stayed here in May 2013. Our first impression was confusing because the picture on the website and the door we were dropped off at didn't appear to match. The photo makes you think that you will enter the hotel by an entrance on the corner of the building but the actual entry is at the side and you have... More

My spouse and I stayed at the Skjaldbreid from April 25th – May 01st 2013. We were on the main floor and yes it is noisy on weekends, however the hotel is very central to Cafes, restaurants and shops etc. A special thank you to Johnathan for helping us with our maps and trip planning, and being so patient and...

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. It is very central in Rekjavik - and therefore one must be preared forsome noise from the mainstreet. The room was ok - but not more. Two separate beds in each side of the room. The staff was very friendly - especially one English guy had a good sense of humour and... More

Skjaldbreid is a rather small hotel in the middle of the city centre, close to most things in Reykjavik. The staff very kind and helpful, the rooms well furbish (but perhaps a bit old). Excellent working free WiFi. Bathroom was a bit small, and very cold since there was no heating in there. Breakfast had what you could wish for,... More

The hotel is in a perfect spot to visit the city. Situated in the center of the city the hotel is clean and good priced. Breakfast buffet and wifi is included. Rooms are small but you dont need any more. We will stay here again when in Iceland. The location and price cant be beat.
