CityHub Reykjavik
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
CityHub Reykjavik is worth booking if you want a central bed in an expensive city and you are happy with a sleeping pod and shared bathrooms. If you need a private bathroom or a conventional hotel room, look at our other two Reykjavík picks instead.

This is a pod hotel. Guests describe sleeping pods, not standard rooms, and bathrooms that are shared. That one fact decides most bookings.
It suits solo travellers, couples on a tight budget and anyone who spends the day out on tours and only needs a clean bed in town. Reviewers single out the cleanliness of the pods and the fresh linens.
Skip it if you want your own bathroom, if you are a light sleeper who dislikes sharing space, or if you are travelling with children. Pod layout, size and how two adults are accommodated are not described in our data, so check the room description carefully before you pay.
Location and getting around
The address is 46 Hverfisgata, 101 Reykjavík. The location score from guests is 9.7, which is very high.
Hallgrímskirkja is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes on foot. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is a similar distance, also around 6 minutes. The National Museum of Iceland is 1.1 km, about 14 minutes. These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer, especially on icy November pavements.
Guests say restaurants, shops and bus stops are close. We have no confirmed details on airport transfers or tour pick-up points, so ask the property where the nearest pick-up stop is.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 1,665 reviews. That is a large sample and a strong result for this kind of property.
Two things come up most in praise: the central setting and the cleanliness of the pods. Showers are described as modern, with good toiletries.
The main complaint is the shared bathrooms. Some guests mention bad smells at times and waiting for a free shower. If you are on a tight morning schedule for a tour, keep that in mind.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) was about €137.10 per night, so roughly €274 for both nights. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your own dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Vera, scored 8.4 and came in at €172.50 a night on the same dates. That is unusual: on those nights the Best Value pick was actually the cheaper of the two. Vera offers a kitchenette, which matters if you want to cook. Our Luxury pick, Reykjavik Konsulat Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, is a 5-star hotel with a score of 9.0 at €352.62 a night.
Listed facilities are free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast is not confirmed in our data, so check whether any food is offered and at what cost.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 40 hotels in Reykjavík. CityHub was chosen as the Best Value pick because it combined a 9.1 guest score, a high review count and a price well below the luxury end of the market.
It is not a traditional hotel and we do not pretend otherwise. For travellers who accept the pod format, few places in the sample offered this score at this price.
Before you book
Confirm what the price includes: pod type, whether it fits two adults, and towels. Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Check the cancellation policy, since November weather in Iceland can disrupt flights and tours. No official star rating appears in our data.
