What guests think

Downtown Reykjavík Apartments is praised for a walkable location near sights and bus pickups, easy self check‑in, generally clean units with kitchenettes, and free parking, while recurring downsides include small or dated rooms, thin walls, and occasional street noise.

The geothermal hot water often has a sulfur smell, and some bathrooms have curtain-only showers or drainage issues that splash water onto the floor. Service is mostly friendly and helpful, though reception is limited and a few guests experienced slow responses or confusing code access. Room size and outlook vary widely, from compact studios or basement rooms to spacious multi-bedroom apartments with balconies. Overall, expect a practical, budget-friendly base in a convenient part of Reykjavík.

Location was ok, not that close to the part of downtown you want to be in, especially with grandparents and a stroller in winter. We were going to open up the couch and turn it into a bed, but it was disgustingly dirty. The information in the room said the washer and dryer were free, but when you get down there, you have to download an app to pay for it. The app would not work for us, even after using the chat/help for the app. When we tried to talk to the manager on duty, he didn’t offer any help, when I called out for help in the “staff area”, no one responded, even though I could hear them in there. When I emailed them to ask for help, no one responded. We travel a lot, and almost always have good experiences, but felt abandoned and uncared for here.

The hotel was in a quiet location and walking distance to bustops for tours and airport. Number 13 bus stop is only half a block away. It had a fully equipped kitchenette with fridge, stove top and microwave. Communication was good for access to hotel. Plenty of parking at front of hotel. 5 min walk to restaurants and small supermarket. There was a sulphar smell from the hot water but that is supposedly all of Iceland. Room a little small. Cleaners need to check that dishes have been cleaned properly when put back in cupboard. Mugs had tea stains in them. Would definitely stay again.

The apartment was very clean. I appreciated that, although not a hotel, the property has a spot set aside to store luggage for those who arrive before check-in or leave after check-out. It helped us tremendously. The front-desk man was courteous and helpful.

Wir hatten ein Apartment für 3 Personen gebucht. Da die wir die Unterkunft nur zur Überbrückung brauchten, hatten wir keine großen Ansprüche. Der Check-In verlief online und unkompliziert. Das Apartment ist mit allen notwenigen Küchenutensilien ausgestattet. Leider war für die 3. Person kein Bettzeug und keine Handtücher gerichtet. Nach etwas Suchen haben wir in der Kommode entsprechende Bettwäsche gefunden. Allerdings haftete an dieser ein sehr unangenehmer Geruch. Daher haben wir uns zu 2. ein Bettzeug geteilt. Was bei einem sehr undichten Fenster in der Nacht dann doch sehr kalt wurde. Zudem befand sich auf dem Bettlaken ein Blutfleck. Leider hat das Personal nur mit Unverständnis auf unser Anliegen reagiert. Wir würden nicht wieder kommen.

The property had all of the amenities listed and the parking was very easy and free, which isn't easy to find in Reykyavik. We did have to wash the crockery and cutlery before we used any of it and there were some hairs and dirt gathered at the edges of the floor and some hairs from shaving in the sink. Leaflets/discount vouchers for restaurants were left in the reception which was very useful. You could definitely get better value in Reykjavik elsewhere.

This is about a 2.5 star hotel - if you are not fancy it will get the job done. The bed is average, the pillows are basically napikins they are so thin, and the towels are super thin and one of ours was shredding because it was so old. The walls are paper thin too if you are a light sleeper. It does have a nice small kitchen if you want to cook and the bathroom is adequete - although the water pressure is not great. The location is easy walking to rainbow street/the church and parking was convenient. It's a good place if you don't want to spend a lot of time in the room.

採用自助入住由官方在入住前五天會發送密碼。一開始有遇到沒有索取到密碼的問題官方回信也不積極之後打電話才順利拿到密碼。即使是上班時間前台沒有任何服務人員要靠打電話才能聯絡。房間不不算大間家具電器有些老舊抽油煙機幾乎無法使用房間窗戶是無法打開除了緊急出口。浴室沒有乾濕分離冷水管線確實有臭味建議使用冷水飲用要煮過味道會散去較好。床鋪寢具材質也不太舒適摸起來有些粗糙。但整體有含廚房的住宿價格以當地來說算便宜。 ps.寄放行李要收費洗衣機使用也要收費且只有一台

Decent apartments close to the downtown. Many cafes, restaurants nearby. The apartments are self check-in and they provide all information over email a few days before travel. Communication with them via email and phone was top notch! The rooms were clean with a kitchenette but a bit cramped for space when you have to open a big suitcase. The bed was not too comfy and had a creaking sound. The shower area is separatedfrom the WC by just a curtain, there is no cabin. So, the water spreads a bit.
