Although Hotel Klettur is within walking distance of Reykjavik's famous Hallgrimskirkja cathedral, downtown is a bit too far to get to on foot, which is one reason this mid-range property has reasonable rates. Interiors have a minimalist Scandinavian style, and the 86 guest rooms are clean and spare, with perks like LCD TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Some are small, however, and bathrooms have showers only. Breakfast is free, but it gets mixed reviews. Guests can play pool and foosball in the game room, while drinks are available at a small on-site bar (with limited hours). Travelers might also want to check out the nearby 22 Hill Hotel, which offers comparable rates and has a restaurant.

The 249-room Hotel Cabin is a budget hotel that's a five-minute drive from Reykjavik's downtown. It has views of the waterfront from upper floors, but walks to the city center will take 20 to 30 minutes. The utilitarian rooms are geared toward tour groups opting for affordable rates over amenities, and we saw some rooms that still have old tube TVs. A simple buffet restaurant and lounge bar provide the bare necessities, along with a free continental breakfast. For something closer to the city center, travelers might want to consider Hotel Holt, though rates are more expensive.

The 52-room CenterHotel Thingholt is an upscale boutique property around the corner from the city's main shopping street and a short walk to cool cafes, restaurants, and bars. The moody, Nordic-minimalist design is inspired by Iceland's stark natural beauty, and there's seasonal cuisine and whisky flights available at the on-site restaurant and bar. Industrial-chic rooms have large rainfall showers and modern amenities. A buffet breakfast is included in room rates, and there's a stylish spa on-site, though the one-time spa entry fee isn't included in the hotel's somewhat pricey rates. Travelers looking for even more of a splash might also want to check out the Hotel Borg, a shimmery and sober downtown option.

The 104-room Centerhotel Arnarhvoll is a stylish, modern, mid-range hotel just a three-minute walk from Reykjavik's main shopping street and in walking distance of most of the city's sights. The small rooms and bathrooms are what make this a mid-range spot, but they're tasteful and modern with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a top-floor bar, a lounge, and a restaurant offering up a nice free breakfast buffet and excellent views of the city and sea. There's also a small basement spa, though it costs an extra fee for guests in Standard Rooms. It's worth comparing rates with other mid-range downtown hotels, which can be cheaper --such as the City Center Hotel or the CenterHotel Plaza.

Couples and families love Reykjavik4you Apartments Hotel for its central location, with most units just far enough away from bustling Laugavegur Street to stay quiet and relaxed.

Its most obvious competition is the well-regarded, mid-range Reykjavik Residence Hotel, whose kitchens are stocked with free refreshments, but the rates tend to be moderately higher there.
