Center Hotels Miðgarður

Center Hotels Miðgarður is a three-star hotel at Laugavegur 120, at the quieter eastern end of Laugavegur in Reykjavik, Iceland. The address is close to Hlemmur, the transport hub whose former bus terminal now holds a food hall, and is about 15 to 20 minutes on foot from Hallgrimskirkja and the central shopping stretch. Compared with the western end of the street, this part of Laugavegur has fewer bars and more everyday services, with bakeries, small cafes and supermarkets nearby. The hotel belongs to the Center Hotels group, an Icelandic operator with several properties in the capital, and it is positioned at the lower end of the mid-range category with indicative double-room prices of about ISK 17,000 to 30,000 per night. Room types include Standard Rooms and Family Rooms, which are functional and designed for short stays. Listed amenities include a bar, Wi-Fi and breakfast. Breakfast is available on site, which helps visitors leaving early for day tours, and many tours collect from nearby stops. Evening meals are easily found at Hlemmur Mathöll and along Laugavegur. The service style is straightforward, with reception staff able to assist with tours, airport transfers and local directions. The hotel suits independent travellers, families and groups who want a central location at moderate cost and who do not mind a short walk to the main sights. Street noise is generally lower than in the old town, though traffic on Laugavegur can be heard in front-facing rooms. Summer brings long daylight and the highest demand, and winter delivers cheaper rates and opportunities for aurora tours from the city. Visitors who use Hlemmur's bus connections can reach the Laugardalur pools, the Perlan viewing deck and the Kringlan shopping centre without changing hotel, and the area's supermarkets make it easy to buy breakfast items and snacks at local prices.
