CenterHotel Plaza

Hotel Plaza is conveniently located at the center of the city and right next to the Tourist Information center. These 2 things itself make the hotel an excellent choice. Plenty of bars, cafes, restaurants and a grocery within a minute walk. The room I was in was very comfortable. Bathroom was very nice. I was woken up 2 mornings by construction going on in one of the rooms below me. One day the consruction lasted an entire day. It was annoying but at the same time a typical tourist would not spend all day in the room and probably wouldn't notice the disruption. The TV only had 4 working channels so you could at least get the news. There was no clock in the room so bring a watch. I arranged one morning for a wake-up call but my telephone ring must have been turned way down so I never heard it and the next morning I arranged for a wake up call but it came an hour earlier than I requested. The breakfast at the hotel is typical European fare: cereal, fruit, meats and cheese, coffee, juice, etc. I thought the hotel was a good deal for the money and was overall happy with my stay other than a few minor issues. I would still stay there again.

It's a bit hard to find because it's in the "old town" BUT that meant once we got there we left the car and walked around, really enjoyed the neighborhood on foot. The new construction rooms are very nice (we were initially put in the older section but they were more than willing to move us when we asked). The shower was really nice - a pleasant surprise after several hotel rooms with low water pressure, etc. And the full breakfast was very nice - especially since food is so expensive (and hard to find in the early morning) in Iceland.
