Reykjavík Neighborhoods

so what is the difference between downtown Reykjavík vs central Reykjavík vs Reykjavík 101 or are they one and the same with different names?

When I read hotel and other locations, I see these descriptions used. One description says downtown and one says central and one say 101.

They all pretty much are the same thing, although postal code 101 can sprawl a bit more. Somewhat the same with central Reykjavik, but downtown, to me at least, means basically between Snorrabraut on the east and a block or two west of Center Hotel Plaza, but including the waterfront between the Sun Voyager and Harpa all the way to the Maritime Museum on the wharf.
