I had a fantastic stay at Thingholt by Center Hotels! The location was a prime point for exploring Reykjavik, with major sites just a short walk away. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering a mix of hot and cold items that kept my mornings good. However, controlling the shower temperature was a bit tricky, which occasionally made my experiences less relaxing than expected.

Rooms

7.0

The room was stylishly decorated with a modern Scandinavian touch, though I found it a bit small for my needs. Some features like the heated bathroom floors were great, but I struggled with limited storage and the shower setup could have been more convenient.

Service

8.0

The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful. Olivia at the front desk really stood out as she went above and beyond to assist me with settling into my room and navigating the city. However, there was one instance where another staff member seemed a bit nonchalant regarding a bathroom light issue I had.

While the hotel had a good array of facilities like a spa and gym, the shower controls in my room were somewhat challenging to manage. Once I figured it out, it was manageable, but it did add some stress to my mornings.
