Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Cityhub Reykjavik is praised for its central location near Reykjavik's dining and attractions. Guests appreciate the modern, functional "hubs" with adjustable mood lighting, comfortable beds, and secure luggage storage; some have found the temperature control to be inconsistent, though. The self-service bar, common area with board games, and a unique book swap add to the appeal, alongside a shared kitchen equipped with amenities, where guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast bags or food left by previous visitors.

Fantastic Pod Experience

secure storageeasy accessfresh towelsclean pod

The private pods allowed secure luggage storage (i used the lockers too). My wristband gave me easy access to my pod. I chose an ambience lighting theme. The pod included hangers and fresh towels. The pod was very clean and white. I did not hear other guests, great.

Air circulation inside the hub could be improved.

Bathrooms are fabulously designed with beautiful Rituals products, a thoughtful product selection is offered in the vending machine, and the hot tub is available on the top floor, accessible for all guests, and is well kept. I noticed complimentary, yummy breakfast options with high-quality tea.

The front desk staff was very helpful. Pod beds are comfy and warm. I found showers and toilets to be clean and very private (a big plus).

The pod design had some issues. Each time a door opened in the hallway, the pod shook so much I couldn't sleep well. Pods were also very hot and the ventilation didn't help much. Bathroom facilities seemed insufficient, requiring me to wait several times.

Wonderful stay in a hub!

convenient wristbandcomfortable bedspoor air

The location is great! The kitchen and lounge area offer many serve-yourself amenities. I found comfortable seating and a hot tub on the third floor. Beds and pillows are comfortable with supplied towels. Rooms are surprisingly soundproof. I could choose cool lighting. The wristband key magnet proved super convenient. there are free lockers to store your bag.

Air circulation inside the room was very poor! The space felt super tight. I found it difficult to open and close my luggage.
