Lindarbakki House

We stayed at the Center Hotels Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik, Iceland in June 2026. The hotel was chosen primarily due to its location. The hotel is located near the waterfront, across from the Harpa Concert Hall. So it is a nice walk to/from bus stops, historic part of town, the church, and boat pier for whale and Puffin watching tours The rooms are small, but clean. Surprisingly, the shower is nothing that we have ever encountered! It shares the floor with the rest of the small bathroom, with a curved plastic door to keep water from hitting the bathroom door. Everything else gets wet. There is a squeegee provided to move water to the drain after showering. This was our biggest disappointment at the hotel. There is no air-conditioning, so there is a small window that can be opened to let in fresh air from outside. There is no screen in the window. The room had a big crack across the ceiling and some paint was chipping. Our room had 2 twin beds, a desk, 2 strange chairs, and a small refrigerator. The TV had some channels that had weak signal scrambling problems. The Wi-Fi worked fairly well, as it does in most of Iceland. My bed sheet had a small hole in it that was clearly visible on by the pillow area. So not perfectly maintained room. It was refreshed everyday, at our request. The breakfast cost extra to the room price, and was located on the top floor bar area. It had good food and an excellent view of the harbor and music hall. The front door needs to be aut

Great stay, lovely staff! Would highly recommend for any traveller.

It was an excellent place for a family of four with children. The room was spacious, clean, and had a delicious breakfast with fresh bread every morning. It was centrally located and had easy parking.
