Challenging access due to city streets and construction. Parking in street fairly close. In room breakfast was good quality and sourdough bread delicious. Pull out sofa bed was not flat and not as comfortable as main bed.

We loved our week-long stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it, especially for families or anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and great service in downtown Reykjavík. The room was spacious and well laid out, with comfortable beds that made it easy to relax after long days of exploring. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed, and a thoughtful touch was the complimentary milk, orange juice, coffee, and tea—all replenished each time the room was serviced. The room was also spotlessly clean, with a large tub and separate shower,ideal for families. There are stairs to access some rooms, so that’s something to be aware of if mobility is a concern. Definitely park in P3. It’s about a 3-minute walk away, but it’s by far the most affordable option in the area. Download the EasyPark app before you arrive—it makes things super easy. Parking is free overnight on weekends, and daytime rates were cheap. The location couldn’t be better—you’re within walking distance of all the shops, restaurants, and local attractions. We especially recommend heading down to the Old Harbour for some food. Old Harbour House—affordable, super friendly staff, and delicious food. A couple of small things to note: since we visited in May, the room stayed a bit light at night—common in Iceland during this season. Also, weekend nights can get noisy, but that’s pretty typical for anywhere in central Reykjavík. Overall, this hotel delivered on every front: space, comfort, cleanliness & location!

Check-in was terrible. I was notified at the 12th hour that I didn't receive the key code because I hadn't paid yet (I opted to pay at check-in). The main reception area is separate from the apartment so if there's an issue, you need to go to reception, then to your property. Reception was difficult to find. The apartment itself was lovely and located right in city center which was great for walking, restaurants, etc.

Perfect home from home

This is not a conventional hotel, it is a set of separate properties within an area. On arriving at the reception you find out what property you got - this can be some distance away! When we arrived it was snowing quite hard, so slogging over to the property was a bit of a pain. However, on arrival all was forgiven. A beautiful apartment in a lovely building. Clean, spacious and well equipped. Underfloor heating (thanks to Icelandic geothermal heating!) made it very cosy. Every afternoon a selection of charcuterie, cheese, fruit and yogurt is left in the fridge, ready for breakfast. Half a loaf of bread, pre-sliced is left on the door in the morning, from the best bakery in the area. Amazing bread! Luxury toiletries from L’occitane were nice surprise. Kitchen well equipped too. Home from home. Honestly cannot fault this accommodation.

It was a really nice property just super hard to find because it’s currently on the side to some major construction. Maybe during this construction extra instructions to finding the hotel would be helpful. Overall it was a beautiful hotel, beautiful area, and very clean.

Really enjoyed our stay in the 2 bedroom unit at this hotel. Access was a bit complicated upon arrival since there is construction on the road where the main lobby is located. Aside from that, everything was great. Excellent value for the money.

Very good stay

Very good stay. We had a jr suite in Artisan House. The various properties are very different so would think experience would differ based on what property they put you in. Location of all are good. Breakfast option is good but you can also walk 5 minutes to bakery and eat there. Their bread is excellent (Sandholt). Reception was helpful when needed.
