It's difficult to get more bare-bones than Atlantic Apartments & Rooms, though for those on a budget, its clean, hostel-like rooms and studio apartments might do the trick at a price lower than what one will generally find in Reykjavik. It's a 14-minute drive from the center of town. Although it's fine for a couple nights' stay, those looking to be closer to the center of the action might want to go for a property in the city center proper, as the units can be on the drab side and for those not intent on self-catering, there aren't as many cafes or restaurants in the area. If being central is more important than bargain rates, the CenterHotel Klopp is a value property that might fit the bill.

The mid-range 22 Hill Hotel is located in the Holt neighborhood, an 10-minute walk to shopping along buzzing Laugavegur. Other city-center sights will take up to 20 minutes to reach on foot. The hotel is fresh and modern, from the lobby to the 50 rooms, which feature TVs with international channels, desks, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. There’s a large restaurant serving a free continental breakfast each morning, and it’s also open for lunches and evening meals for a range of traditional Icelandic fare and international dishes. Prices are fair for the area, but visitors with a bigger budget wanting to be in the heart of downtown might try Kvosin Hotel, which lacks a restaurant, but offers kitchenettes in rooms and a wine bar with happy hour.

At 50 rooms, it’s an intimate property with modern and sleek decor.
