Room With A View - Apartments

A wonderful location to get anywhere, supermarket close, little ones even closer, meeting point bus stop close, restaurants and shops everywhere! Very nice apartment room, loud music didn't bother me with earplugs or I would just enjoy it. Ended by 23h. Nice beds and clean and neat. Lovely and quick service via phone/e-mail. Town and hotel safe as my opinion. Recommend!

Don’t stay here if you want to get any sleep at the weekend! Booming live music from bar next door and then revellers having great fun until about 3:30 AM. Monday onwards the music finished about 11 and revellers left street by about midnight allowing us to sleep. That said the location was very central which was obviously handy but I would not recommend this for a family unless you’re partying too! Apartment was very tired and basic. The beds were comfortable and it seemed clean.

The location is great and the rooms are clean/spacious. However the noise from the bar below is what ruined our stay. From around 8pm, the music is extremely loud & you can hear it clearly. There is no way to mask the noise. I appreciate a central location will mean that noise is expected however this was excessive and kept us awake after a busy day & early flight. I contacted the hotel (who did respond quickly) but the only advice they gave was that "Being located in a vibrant area, noise can be a challenge. Earplugs are available near the entrance for your convenience. The music usually stops at 11 pm." This was the same situation both nights we stayed (a Saturday and Sunday). The bar advertises that there is live music every night so it is not isolated to weekends only. A real pity as rooms were lovely but the noise is not what you would expect on this kind of trip.

“Exceptional location, very noisy bar - bring you earplugs” I spent only one night during a stop over to the USA. The advantages are: - Exceptional location in a very live central street. - clean and very spacious rooms. There is a full kitchenette with refrigerator. Also, there was a sofa bed. - the price was reasonable (around 140$ per night). The disadvantages are: - confusion about the name of the hotel and whereabouts: the hotel is known by 3 names: Mani hotel, room with a view, and midtown hotel by Heimaleiga! I think the hotel might be a mix of apartments hotel and hotel rooms. However, there is no staff to ask... Also, depending on where the emails will tell you to go, you could enter from one entrance on one of 2 different streets (with different addresses) but not the other, although you could exit from any entrance. - The bar issue. It is true that the bar is very noisy. You could hear the loud muffled music, Karaoke singing, people cheering, etc., through vibrating walls. This will make sleep impossible. Luckily, in my case, this stopped as promised (through notes in the room) at 23:00, and I was really tired by then, so, I slept. I read in reviews that some people was disturbed by noise from surrounding bars after that hour on other days though, but I did not encounter that issue. It is quite interesting how soundproofing a bar under a residential building, which is a standard even in developing countries, was ignored in this hotel/bar case. Also, another fun fact; the hotel said they will leave ear plugs, which was not done in my case. However, I doubt that ear plugs might have helped, given vibration transmitted through walls and furniture... - Weird communications: The hotel sent me messages through booking site, that included their phone number. This led the booking site (as a security measure, or maybe to avoid bypassing the site in arrangements) to block my devices!! Interestingly, the hotel asked for a photo of my passport to be sent to them before (accepting) my booking, even though Agoda already took the money. When I sent the hotel (who communicated with me via email after the booking site blocking our communications) a scan of the passport, they rejected it and insisted on a "photo" of the passport!! - Putting a carpet (rug) inside the room. This is a trivial issue, but I have not seen that in high-end hotels. This is because of the wear and tear. As expected, it was worn out and it did not look great... So, in summary, the bar noise issue could be a real deal-breaker, and the hotel management knows the issue very well.

My family stayed in the apartment and the view is worth the booking alone! Large windows around the whole apartment with a fabulous view of the mountains. The contactless is check-in is handled thru email. We received all of the necessary information to store our bags before our check-in and to enter the hotel and apartment. The hotel is above a bar, but we were out most of them time and when we were there, we like the music. It did not bother us at all. The apartment was clean and comfortable. It was a kitchenette with fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee and kettle. There were cup, dishes and cutlery. The location is incredible. The view is gorgeous and it steps away from everything. There are shops and restaurants close by as well as grocery. I would not hesitate to stay again.

Great central location. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The establishment below has live music every evening but they end at a very reasonable hour. We enjoyed our first night hanging in the room listening to great covers from the 60s through 80s.

Honestly, don’t let some of these reviews scare you away. This is a great place to stay to spend time in Reykjavik! It’s right next to all of the main shopping, restaurants, bars, and sites. The rooms are decent with a fridge and microwave and the bathroom in our room had a tub that was big enough for me to soak in (I’m 5’8 for reference). Is it loud sometimes? Yes, but again it’s right in the main touristy section of Reykjavik so noise is expected. It is above a book/coffee shop that has live music nightly so do take this into consideration when booking. For us, it was a benefit! We just went downstairs and enjoyed the music with a few drinks. I also saw some reviews complain about the sulfur smell in the water. This is something you’ll experience everywhere in Reykjavik as it is on the geothermal hot springs. Just wanted to address it as it’s not fair for this hotel to be hit for this. We totally loved our stay and plan to come back. If you want to experience Reykjavik nightlife and be close to everything definitely stay here!

We stayed one night at the room with a wonderful view on the city, mountains and the bay. We got a very detailed instructions, and self check-in went smoothly. There is a space for your luggage before check-in or after check-out. The furniture was new and everything was very nice. A good final accord to ourweek-trip on the island. I can only highly recommend to stay here.
