Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

We had a really nice stay at this hotel. We stayed here twice during our trip. The first time we lucked out and our superior room was in the main hotel- it was larger, the bathroom was amazing with really great space, storage and hot water. Everything was very clean and well organized. It was the perfect amount of space for the 3 of us. It was also very convenient to the best part of Laugavegur street. The second time we checked in- we were put in another building called the tannery. It was very beautiful- the furnishings were comfortable, it was clean and well laid out. This hotel however was a little small for 3 people- the bathroom had the teeniest sink and there was not enough room in the bedroom for two people’s luggage. There was no closet to hang out coats or put our boots. The bathroom products were l’occitane which was really nice and all rooms had lotion which during the winter was very thoughtful. The location of the main hotel was also ideal while the tannery was a 2 minute walk from the check in desk outside which was a little inconvenient on both ends of our trip. Overall I would 100% stay here again but if asked for special requests- I would recommend asking if they can accommodate you in the main hotel.

Amazing location! Centrally located near the Hallgrimskirkja church and rainbow road, cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops and grocery! Great value for money as well. The junior suite (for 3 people) was spacious, with a kitchen where you can prepare meals, a dining area, big bathroom with L’occitane amenities, a ref, dishwasher, daily refill of cereal, milk, coffee, tea, and cooking oil. If you avail the breakfast, it’s likewise goof with a basket of fruits, cheese, butter, bread, cold cuts, eggs. The freshly baked sourdough bread daily will keep you strong during your morning tour. There is complimetary use of washers in the basement. This is a great place to stay in Oceland. It is home away from home. A bonus is we got to see the Aurora borealis just above the hotel on the day we arrived!

What a phenomenal experience! From check in to check out, our stay was comfortable, warm, safe, and memorable. Sandra was able to accommodate an early check-in, and that was a kind and generous start to a lovely stay. All of the little touches in the room—milk, juice, cereal, coffee, heated floors, the towel warmer, individual comforters for each person on the double beds!—provided small but significant luxuries. The only thing that did not work at all was the phone app for the room key. A physical key is definitely the way to go. And coat hooks near the front door would be super helpful. We made the right move on our first trip to Iceland to stay in a hotel so that we could get help navigating and have a place to store our luggage as needed. Raul was so helpful and kind when we needed to call a taxi. Sandra‘s professionalism, kindness, and excellent suggestions about how to live like a local made our trip truly unforgettable. She is an absolute gem! We look forward to returning to Reykjavík and can’t wait to stay here again!

This place deserves 10 stars. Our experience was so good, we decided to extended our stay instead of traveling around the island. The room was very clean and spacious. The bedding was premium and very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean, and also spacious. The kitchen also had everything you need for a quick fix. They have a small fridge, and a dishwasher. The room had a steamer and a blow dryer. I was traveling with my daughter and we always felt safe. The staff was very professional, I can’t say enough good things about them and specially Miguel. They made our trip better with their kindness and professionalism. We got completely breakfast goodies in the room and bread delivered to our door every morning. The location was also perfect. Walkable, quiet during speeding hours despite the construction, we were not disrupted. I recommend staying at Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel 100%.

We enjoyed our stay in our studio suite in the Embassy building, room 301, very much. The room was plenty spacious for the 2 of us during our 3 night stay. The room was clean and well decorated and the bed was very comfortable. It had a nice kitchen area which included a microwave, toaster, coffee maker and plenty of plates, bowls and utensils. The location couldn't be better right in the center of everything, yet the room was totally quiet. The concierge service in arranging transportation was very helpful and much appreciated. The daily breakfast was delicious and satisfying. |The only issue we had was with the shower. The slanted roof line in this top floor room made standing up under the shower impossible. I am over 6 feet tall, but even my wife who is 5ft 6, had difficulty showering. If you are over 5 1/2 feet tall, you will want to request a different room. Also, this room is up a flight of stairs, so it wouldn't be suitable for anyone not able to climb stairs.

Great rooms in a great location. Modern recently renovated rooms. Overall clean and nice. We had the breakfast delivered one morning and it was full of fresh produce and artisanal bread. They also provide some juice, tea, and coffee in the room complimentary. We didn’t use it but there is a full kitchenette with all the tools you’d need. There is onsite laundry with new machines and detergent provided. The beds are on the firm side and the heating is radiant (not a thermostat for my American friends). On the downside, our bathroom light flickered when the shower had been running and the bathroom door was poorly designed (it opens on its own if it’s not fully closed and you end up hitting it with the front door every time unless it’s fully closed). Our other room also had a TV that didn’t work and a blown fuse when they tried to toast bread. Most of these issues were remedied with a quick call to the desk. Overall I would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting.

We stayed in the Prime Minister's Residence building, a beautiful building. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a great shower. We loved the daily vegetable in our breakfast basket along with the usuals. It was quiet when we stayed, and in a good location. There was a ramp to the front door, and good accessibility in the bathroom. Due to extreme weather, it looked possible that we'd need to stay an extra night, and Reception was very helpful. There were a couple of minor let-downs. When we first arrived, late at night, our phones wouldn't open our apartment door. When I called for help, I was told to go to reception for a key. As a disabled person, this would've been very difficult if not for my husband being with me. The kitchen space is tiny and was a struggle to use effectively. I also wasn't a fan of the fresh bread, it had a very distinct taste.

Great location we were in the Artisan building which was a few minutes from bus stop 6. The apartment was very clean. Easy access to the apartment without having to formally check in as the door key is held on your mobile device. We had a junior suite which was perfect for our family of 4. However the sofa bed was so uncomfortable. The springs had gone and when 2 people are sharing the bed you end up rolling into the middle. Another 2 pillows for the sofa bed would have been welcomed. Having said that the apartment was clean, the bathroom was of a good size and stocked with L'Occitane toiletries. The shower was perfect. With Iceland being so expensive, the milk, orange juice and cornflakes were perfect for breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised when the milk and orange juice was topped up throughout our stay. If the sofa bed was not so worn we would give this apartment 10/10.
