Fantastic stay in excellent location.

We had an amazing time at the Reykjavík residence Hotel. The apartments had everything that you needed and was immaculate. The breakfast basket and sourdough bread delivered to your apartment every morning was great! The location was ideal literally round the corner from all of the local bars, shops and restaurants. We would 100% recommend staying here. The only minor issue we had was finding the right building on arrival for the self check in using the code emailed to you. There are quite a few of the hotels “Reykjavík residence” blocks scattered around the area, all located in different streets which we didn’t know beforehand. We ended up getting dropped off at the wrong Reyjavik residence building and had to walk around for 5-10 minutes with the suitcases in the rain trying to find our block. We assumed we would be staying in the main hotel as we were not aware when booking there are separate buildings located nearby so it’s best to clear that up before you go to save booking the wrong drop off address with your transfer company.

The hotel staff were very friendly, and the room was comfortable. The shampoo and body wash were from L’Occitane, which smelled wonderful. They also provided free milk and juice. The hotel’s location was excellent, making it convenient to go anywhere.

Difficult to find but once you figure out where it is located it is good. Wish the hotel Lobby was in the building where you stay. The breakfast each morning was very nice. They catered to a Gluten Free option which was great! My husband loved the fresh bread every morning. Very clean and comfortable. Would recommend getting rid of the air fresheners. Very strong smell. Too fragrant. We ended up putting it outside of the room as we couldn't sleep.

Great Stay

Our stay got off to a rocky start. We received check in information before arrival, however the location of the apartment was not very clear. The address given was not found in Maps and the addresses on the building were a little unclear. After calling the desk and walking around, we found the apartment after about 20 minutes. The apartment was clean and well stocked. It was too warm when we arrived, but we were able to figure out how to turn down the heat. The room was cleaned each day and supplies restocked as needed. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would highly recommend!

Without internet service finding the actual property from the airport transfer was difficult. After calling the person I talked to realized I was frustrated and actually walked to find us and guide us to the hotel. I was very impressed with her take charge step and assistance. The concierge was also very helpful in getting a taxi for one of our activities.

Nice hotel, room lovely. Clean and warm. We had some issues with getting access to our room which was quite frustrating after walking quite a distance with our luggage in the early hours of the morning. Staff could have been more helpful with this.

Not a hotel

Attractive room, accommodating service, everything was clean and nice—except it’s not a hotel, just a room rental (although it does have maid service and cold breakfast). There are no amenities here, and the reception desk is a full 5-min walk from our room. We had trouble with our key cards which became an ongoing issue. And because there were 3 of us (using foldout couch) there wasn’t anyplace to sit in the room. Now we’re in a proper hotel and what a difference. So, it just depends on what you want. We like the hotel experience with amenities and lounges to sit in. If you don’t care about that, this place is very nice.
