Summary of reviews
Center Hotels Skjaldbreid receives notable praise for its exceptional central location in downtown Reykjavik. Positioned on a main pedestrian street, it provides guests with convenient access to the city's top attractions, restaurants, bars and shops, making it an ideal base for exploring the vibrant local scene. Despite its central position, it offers a quiet and comfortable retreat, further enhanced by the friendly and helpful staff and a well-regarded breakfast selection that starts early, which many guests find delightful and sufficient.

The hotel’s breakfast is commended for its good selection and quality, described as delicious, abundant and including different options like cereals, fruit and pickles. While generally satisfying, some guests suggest the need for more variety, particularly for vegetarians and vegans and more seating in the breakfast area could enhance the dining experience.

When it comes to rooms, guests appreciate the cleanliness and comfort, particularly the extremely comfortable beds. However, room sizes are often described as smaller and occasionally cramped with some noted decor and furniture appearing outdated. Noise from the street or nearby bar and minor issues with temperature control, are also points of concern. Bathrooms, though clean, are sometimes found to be small and less user-friendly.

Cleanliness stands out with the hotel consistently receiving high marks for spotless rooms and well-maintained facilities. Despite a few minor maintenance issues, the overall standard of cleanliness is highly regarded. Positive guest interactions with the reception staff further add to a welcoming atmosphere.

The hotel's beds receive mixed feedback. Many guests find them comfortable and conducive to restful sleep, while others note the beds can be overly soft and the quality of bedding inconsistent. Some improvement in the quality and firmness of mattresses and bedding is suggested.

As a 3-star establishment,
Center Hotels Skjaldbreid offers a good cost-benefit ratio and basic accommodations suitable for budget-conscious travelers. However, it falls short of the 4-star standard some guests expect, especially when it comes to breakfast offerings and additional amenities.

Overall,
Center Hotels Skjaldbreid provides a pleasant and convenient stay with a prime location, friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms, making it a sound choice for travelers looking to experience Reykjavik without the luxury price tag.
