A hotel stay in the heart of Reykjavik

Midgardur by Center Hotels sits in central Reykjavik, the departure point for this stay. The property is a hotel, not a tour, and it runs year-round. You book a room here and use it as your base for exploring the city and the surrounding region. The hotel is in the city proper, which has a population of 139,804, while the greater capital region holds 253,230 people. The city itself covers 244 square kilometers (94 square miles) and received its city charter on 18 August 1786. This is a stay for travellers who want to be close to Reykjavik's streets, restaurants and harbour, and who plan to head out on day trips from there. The hotel does not state a duration for a stay, since that depends on your own travel plans. What the operator does commit to is food, which is explicitly included in your booking.

Where the hotel sits and what that means

Midgardur by Center Hotels is in Reykjavik, but the fact file does not give an exact address or a distance from the city centre. What is clear is that the hotel is in the city proper, not in the outskirts or a nearby municipality. Reykjavik's city centre is compact, and most hotels in this part of town put you within walking distance of the main shopping street, the old harbour and the bus terminals that serve day tours. The greater capital region spreads out around the city, but this hotel is inside the 244 square kilometers (94 square miles) of the city itself. If you are arriving by car, you will likely park in the city and walk to the hotel, though the operator does not say whether parking is available on site. For getting about, Reykjavik has a bus network, and the city is small enough that many visitors walk between the main sights. The hotel's position in the city proper means you are not dependent on a car for your evenings, and you can step out of the door and be among the city's bars and restaurants within minutes. The operator does not name the nearest landmark or bus stop, so you will need to check the exact location when you book.

What this page does not carry for the hotel

The catalogue holds no entry price for a night at Midgardur, so you will not find a room rate on this page. The operator does not state the cost of a stay, and there is no official figure published for the nightly price. The catalogue also does not list the hotel's facilities beyond the food that is included. There is no mention of a gym, a pool, a bar, or a business centre. The operator does not say whether breakfast is the included meal or whether it covers lunch and dinner. The catalogue does not name the room types, so you will not know from this page whether the hotel offers single rooms, family rooms or suites. There is no information on check-in and check-out times, and no details on cancellation policies. The catalogue does not say whether the hotel has a restaurant on site or whether you will eat out. For those details, you will need to look at the hotel's own booking pages or contact them directly. What this page does confirm is the hotel's location in Reykjavik, its rating from 1,815 reviews, and that food is part of the stay. Everything else about the property, from the price to the facilities, is not carried here.

What the 8.6 score is worth

The hotel carries a rating of 8.6 from 1,815 reviews. That is a strong score, and the number behind it matters. With nearly two thousand reviews, the rating is not the work of a handful of guests; it reflects a broad sample of stays. An 8.6 from that many people tells you the hotel is consistent, and that most guests leave satisfied. The hotel belongs to no category in the travel guide's taxonomy, so there is no direct group of comparable hotels to rank it against. That means the score stands on its own, without a position like "third best in Reykjavik" to give it context. What you can say is that 1,815 people have rated their stay, and the average sits at 8.6 out of 10. That is a solid result for any hotel. It is not a perfect score, and the range of opinions among nearly two thousand guests will include some who found fault, but the overall picture is one of a well-regarded property. If you are choosing between hotels, this rating, backed by that many reviews, is a reliable signal that the hotel delivers what it promises.

Season and time of day for your stay

Reykjavik's climate runs cool through the year, with the warmest months being July and August, when average highs reach 15°C (59°F) and 14°C (57°F) respectively. June is close behind at 13°C (55°F). The coldest months are January, February and December, when average highs sit at 3°C (37°F) and lows drop to -2°C (28°F). If you are staying at Midgardur, the season shapes how much daylight you get and what you can do outside. From June to August, the city enjoys long days, with the sun staying up well into the evening, which suits travellers who want to pack sightseeing into a short stay. In the winter months, daylight is short, and you will plan your day around the few hours of light. Spring and autumn sit in between, with highs of 4°C to 10°C (39°F to 50°F) in March to May, and 5°C to 11°C (41°F to 52°F) in September to November. For a hotel stay, the time of day matters less than the season, since the hotel itself is open year-round. But if you are using it as a base for day trips, you will want to check the daylight hours for the season you choose. In summer, you can start early and finish late; in winter, you will be limited to the short daylight window.
