Every now and then a property earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, CityHub Reykjavik, in Reykjavík 101, is one of those. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: within an easy walk of the city centre, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are modest, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With well over 1,300 reviews on the books and a genuinely glowing average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €137 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. It's the kind of Reykjavik property that rewards a careful comparison, the spec sheet doesn't quite capture what makes it tick.
