Very clean, lots of space. Nice kitchen, laundry and dryer in the apartment. A little bit of a strange set up. Only 1 tv and it was in one of the bedrooms. No tv in the living room. The only tv also had very limited channels and wouldn’t stream.

Great location near to main shopping street but quiet. Well equipped and proportioned. We had the breakfast which was delivered and placed in the fridge the afternoon before then fresh sourdough bread delivered about 8am in the morning enough for breakfast and lunch!

Very friendly staff and helpful with suggestions for things to do in and outside town. Rooms are quite nice with comfortable mattresses wonderful bathrooms with high pressure hot water available. The fact that the rooms are right in the middle of the downtown area made for easy access to everything. Three downsides. 1. The buildings for the rooms are scattered around about a km radius from the main city center. But, the lobby is also in a completely different location. Even though I had stayed previously and knew this situation, google maps will lead you astray by taking you to one of the buildings away from the check in lobby and there isn't a good spot to "pull over" and try to figure it out as the downtown parking is awful. 2. Their little "kitchen's" are very minimalistic. No freezer section of their small refrigerators and no oven. We made the mistake of buying some food before arriving that required an oven and had to let that food go to waste. 3. Parking is REALLY bad. The first night, I had to park the car nearly .5 km away from where we were staying. Later, I learned when and where to park that would get us within 100 m. Fortunately, there is an app called "Parka" which will allow you to deal with the tolls easily.

The location cannot be beat walking distance to everything food groceries tourist info etc We did get the top floor room which was roomy however the stairs are VERY narrow and steep if you are not able bodied or very strong ask what floor your room is because I don’t think people older then us (we are in our late 40s) could manage the stairs with their luggage The convenience of the room key app was amazing and simple to use The room was spacious warm and comfortable would definitely stay again

What I noticed upon arriving to this hotel was the warmth and friendliness of the staffs there. It was an amazing start to a great trip and I felt relieved to know I was in good hands! Not only did the receptionist offer to check us in early so we could get situated, but this hotel’s overall serivce I received while staying here was phenomenal. It is definitely one of those hotels you’ll want to come back to and stay at for your trips or will recommend to your community! Thank you Reykjavík Residence Hotel for making our trip a successful one.

One hotel name, many locations

The hotel has many properties within walking distances. Sometimes two rooms booked together may be accommodated in separate properties. I was lucky that my children and I , though we had separate rooms, were 4 floors apart , in the same building

Nice apartment

We stayed for one night in a 3 BR apartment in Reykjavik. It was a reasonably comfortable place. Parking is a bit inconvenient since it's in an area with paid street parking. We also heard people walking and driving by, but not super late at night. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to be close to the tourist part of the city.

I can't say enough good things about my stay at the Reykjavik Residence Hotel. The room was huge, had a full kitchen, a nice size living room, two TV's. It was just fantastic. The only small complaint is the shower is really small even though the bathroom was big enough for a bigger one. It's right in the heart of the city with walking access almost everywhere. The staff was amazingly attentive and arranged all of my cabs the entire trip. Iceland is an expensive place, but the quality here was top notch.

Responsive front desk staff both prior to and during our stay. The hotel is in a GREAT location for shopping, walking around the city, restaurants and historic sites. It was quiet and very comfortable for our family of five. It was clean, had a washer/dryer, full kitchen, and nice/large bathroom. The beds and living area were very comfortable. The housecleaning staff was lovely as well. We could not be happier with this hotel and will definitely recommend it to others and stay there again during our next stay in Iceland.

We loved our stay and hope to return next year! It was the perfect location to dining, shopping, and tour pickups. Front desk folks were kind and helpful. The room was very clean, and there was plenty of space for our family! The hotel didn’t get the note from Expedia that our stay included breakfast. We missed out on the first two days before asking about it, but once we did, it was fantastic! Plenty of food for breakfast and was enough for us to snack during the day. We truly couldn’t imagine a better accommodation.

Reykjavik Residence Hotel was perfect for our group’s (4 women) needs. Our two bedroom, 2 bath apartment was spacious, immaculate and conveniently located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful with our luggage and great with arranging transportation for the 3 days we spent in Reykjavik. We ate two nights at Grazie Trattoria, a 2 minute walk right down the street - wonderful atmosphere and food. I highly recommend staying at Reykjavik Residence Hotel.
