Midgardur by Center Hotels occupies an unassuming spot in Reykjavík East, the kind of address you only find by recommendation or by a careful read of guest reviews. The setting is part of the appeal, within an easy walk of the city centre, and the location score sits in reasonable territory because of it. Rooms feel well-appointed; the touches travellers mention most are an in-house restaurant, a small spa and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 2,000 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €266 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Whether Midgardur by Center Hotels is the right fit depends on the trip, but it earns a place on the comparison shortlist for Reykjavik more often than not.
