Vintage Apartment Hotel

Free coffee in the lobby was good, keyless entry, convenient shop nearby

The room was exceptionally well appointed. It truly was a full studio apartment. Great condition, clean and spacious. The entry, floor, and room doors are all digital touchpads using a single PIN provided on the day of arrival. It took a little trial and error at first, but worked well once you got used to it. The hotel is located on a road closed to vehicular traffic, so it requires parking either on the adjacent streets or in a parking garage a few blocks away. Not a big deal but it does require planning. We parked in the Stjörnuport parking garage overnight, and our average daily cost was less than $20USD each day. There are many shops, restaurants, and bars in the area. Please note that this thoroughfare can get pretty noisy in the evenings, particularly when the bars close. Sounds are somewhat insulated if the windows are closed. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay at the Vintage Hotel. The quality of the room compared to the daily rate far exceeded my expectations. We plan to return to Iceland for our next vacation and we will be sure to stay at the Vintage Hotel when we do.

The uniqueness of this hotel is the self check in and out. You are given a code to access the building and room. Everything is done via email. Although we were given the wrong room number, it was rectified with a phone call. Room was clean, with completely furnished kitchen. And complementary Nespresso machine. Hotel is situated in the heart of downtown Reykjavic. Grocery market nearby and close to everything. Will stay again!

I prefer hotels because they make your bed and change your towels but this place was pretty cool. Clean, safe, near everything and allowed you to take new towels if needed.

Excelllent location.. only a few minutes walk for Bus Stop 9 for tours and airport transfer. Could have used an additional chair in the room. Note not too convenient for larger suitcase. Nice to have luggage storage until 5 pm after checkout.

We stayed twice at this hotel, in two different rooms, and were very happy. The room we had the 2nd night was gorgeous--big windows to look out from, and a small terrace as well. Both rooms served as apartments where you could cook your own food, which can help out a lot in expensive Reykjavik. Of course, you may prefer to pay for the amazing restaurants right in the same few blocks. The only down side was the front door--it didn't always unlock with the code, but we always managed, so not a dealbreaker.

Nice place to stay in there but It is little inconvenient to park.

No on-site staff = check-in nightmare. This hotel has no staff on-site. I arrived after midnight due to a late flight only to find myself locked out of the hotel. I rang and ran the bell until finally a security guard answered the door. He was worthless, however. He said he only did security and pointed out a small number by the keypad that I needed to call. At least they answered and said I should have received check-in instruction via email but I didn't (later discovered it went to spam). He gave me a number for the keypad to open the building door and my room door. However, when I asked him about parking, he only provided worthless information--"We don't provide any parking. Park on the street." I ended up having to stop random strangers on the street to ask how parking works in downtown Reykjavik. At 1 am these were mostly drunk bar patron stumbling home but I finally found someone helpful (and sober) enough to show me an app that I needed to download to pay for parking and explained Reykjavik's P1, P2, and P3 zone system. By the way, P1 only allows for 3 hours parking max so, in order to not have to get up early just to move my rental car to avoid a parking ticket, I had to block several blocks away in the closest P2 zone to the hotel (which allows parking all day), and drag my luggage multiple blocks to the hotel. This is the kind of helpful information that front desk staff (or a dedicated concierge at a nicer hotel) usually provide. Not having on-site staff is bad.

The hotel was lovely and central to the city. Most areas were in walking distance from the hotel. I would definitely stay there again. My only gripe was that the kitchenette was damaged with the fridge tilting backwards and was a little awkward to open without it tilting forward. Clearly the cabinet base needed repairing room 104. Please fix it. You would have 5 stars if it wasn't broken on arrival. The room was lovely and clean and if you required extra room supplies (towels, loo roll or coffee) there was a cabinet in the hallway for you to help yourself - GREAT idea! With it's central location a Friday night can be a little loud outside at times. All the facilities at the hotel were of a very high standard. Only a short walk to the local transport links. Overall we loved our stay in your hotel and your country. Thank you for having us.

Great walkable location! Parking not included but we found a great, affordable parkade nearby. Would recommend

Great apartments right in the heart of downtown Reykjavík. Very clean and warm with everything you need inside.

Der beste Platz für einen Aufenthalt in Reykjavik. Direkt in der bekannten Einkaufsstrasse/Fussgängerzone mit vielen Geschäften, Restaurants und Supermärkten in der unmittelbaren Nähe. Das Appartment mit eigener hervorragen ausgestatteter Küche ist besonders aufgrund der hohen Preise in der Stadt Gold Wert. Der kostenlose Kaffee in der Lobby und auf dem Zimmer war der perfekte Start in den Tag. Das Zimmer, die Küche und das Bad hat alles was man braucht. Wirklich perfekt! Nur dass es manchmal aus dem Bad etwas unangenehm roch, war ein kleiner Mangel. Aber ansonsten würden wir dort jederzeit wieder übernachten und können es auch nur jedem wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Great design of space abd very clean.

The property was in close proximity to many different things. I had a self check in and was able to check in early as my plane landed early morning. The property was great but keep in mind it’s in the center of everything so it noisy. Also my sheets that were provided looked very dull.

The room was spotless and the staff was courteous. The location was great for exploring the area. Would stay again

This was our nicest stay in Iceland! Clean and spacious apartment for our family of five right in the downtown area with many shops and restaurants close by

Habitación impecable y amplia con todo lo necesario para que nuestra estancia fuera cómoda, idéntico a las fotos. El acceso super fácil con horarios flexibles y la ubicación perfecta !! Súper céntrico para ir caminando a todos lados turísticos, restaurantes y tiendas.

Excellent location and cleanliness of property.

A lot of hairs from previous guests in the bed.

Loved the apartment very spacious and local to all the shops and restaurants, only downside was storage, there was hanging space but not enough draws. Also the tv kept freezing or losing sounds, not a big problem as was on holiday but on the occasion we were watching the six nations it was an issue

The room was well thought out, efficient and located exactly where we wanted to be. We could have stayed there for a week comfortably. The only thing we would have liked was some flat space around the bathroom sink and more hooks to hang things.

We had an amazing stay! The location is perfect to explore the best of Reykjavik on foot, but also to catch transfers to see all of the natural beauty. Our tours took us as far as Vik and the Katla Glaciers, and it was so relaxing to come back to our warm comfortable room. And the shower… I can’t explain how much I’ll miss the shower. It’s a spa-like zen experience which is so cleansing after a chilly day seeing waterfalls, ice caves and geysers. On days we didn’t have tours it was a 10-15 minute walk to all of the restaurants and shopping you could ever want. If I could start over and experience it all again I would.

Great location and clean apt. However low former ceilings and esp if you are over 5’10 you actually have to crouch in many areas of apt

N/A. View of buildings and a courtyard! We chose not to have breakfast.

Really great location and well equipped, but the property is extremely loud. Also no help with early check in which is hard considering if you’re coming from the USA you’ve got to kill a day outside while you’re exhausted and feel dirty from a long flight. You will need to wear headphones to go to sleep. Otherwise noise will keep you up all night long.

We were thrilled when we opened the door to our room. It was just what we were hoping for, clean, spacious, trendy, and comfortable. The beds were comfy as well. I would recommend this spot for sure. The location was perfect as well!

Delux room was as expected, windows and balcony facing backyard so quiet. One can clearly hear neighbour rooms.

Fabulous location within easy walking distance to main attractions, cafes and restaurants. We requested one of the quieter rooms after a long flight and we were obliged with one - thank you! The bed was roomy and very comfortable, the shower was hot, and the coffee was great. Staff were quick to respond to messages and check-in was straightforward.

The hotel is great, but so hard to find. It was my 5th night in the city. If youve been to Reykjavik you know thats long enough to have explored pretty much the whole thing... and I still couldnt find it!The check-in instructions were wrong. And when I called to ask for help he talked to me like I was an idiot- totally insulting. Once I got past the check in everything was wonderful. The room was gorgeous with beautiful finishes. Its a little further from the total tourist trap of the main part of the strip which i loved, but only like 2 blocks removed- so an easy walk, but queiter and more local charm. I would absolutely stay here again- but customer service needs some work!

Friendly and helpful onsite staff, especially Gisli who looks after our needs and help resolve any issues. He is courteous, responsive and problem solving. Hotel location is excellent. washroom is small and tight. A bit of noise from street. Overall facilities are good. Will come back to this apartment hotel.

Hotel was in a great location for shops, food, and seeing the sights. They worked with us to store luggage and check in earlier. Highly recommend this hotel.

This was a nice place for a few days stay. The only problem we ran into is that it’s challenging to get in touch with anyone should you need anything. We needed more coffee pods and garbage bags, and neither of which were restocked in the hall cabinet. The best part was the breakfast bag. I was really impressed by the quality of the items included. 2 buns, 2 croissants, cheese, butter, apples and juice. I’d often save the buns for a snack, great way to save as food is so expensive Overall though we did enjoy our stay and would recommend

The computerized door locks did not work and we had to stand out in the cold on multiple occasions while we tried to get in contact with the staff. The staff was unhelpful and did not resolve the issue and they were very rude.

Beautiful penthouse! Excellent service - owner was fast at respond and very helpful. Lots of shopping close by - souvenir shopping, grocery shopping, art. Restaurants, food, drinks, everything you can think of right outside the door! I’m walking distance to rainbow road and church.

I loved the decor and the communication. The bed was superb and I love personless-checkin. That's where I'll stay in Reykjavik!

Loved the room and location, however, we were not satisfied about communication with staff. While they responded to our phone calls when we had issues, they did not respond to our request to book our bus to the airport. They told us they would book for us in our welcome email, but after phone calls and a few emails, we ended up having to book ourselves last minute. They also have a room for storing luggage, however once through the main doors, it was not guarded or locked in any way. We opted for a different luggage storage. Other than those 2 details, we absolutely loved our room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Self check in was a breeze. You cannot beat this location!

The location was excellent, although a little noisy if you’re a light sleeper.

Location location location. This place was right on the main pedestrian commercial drag. We got a suite for a family of four. Fantastic. Don’t leave without coffee & pastries at Sandholt!

It was difficult to find...you have to pay to park on the street... nearly impossible to find a parking spot anywhere near the place. It is located in the heart of town where all the action is,and you can drink and walk back to your place. There is great food very close outside the door. Very clean.great space. Lots of noise on the street all night. The most uncomfortable beds ever slept on. Felt like a down duve on top of a box springs. Nice kitchenette in the room .

Nice place to stay in there but It is little inconvenient to park.

Great central location, weekend visit meant street parking was free if you could find it, but also there was a noisy bar nearby until around midnight-ish. Overall, very comfortable for two adults and two older teens.

Rooms are modern and good amount of room. Great location to walk around downtown and easy access to taxi’s. Lots of shops, restaurants and site seeing near by.

Absolutely fabulous stay and a perfect location. Walkable to all the landmarks, restaurants, shopping, bars.

Great walkable location! Parking not included but we found a great, affordable parkade nearby. Would recommend

Free coffee in the lobby was good, keyless entry, convenient shop nearby

The apartment was very cute had everything we needed. There was a 24-hour Mini Mart right across the street which was very handy for quick dinners or something to drink.

Brilliant stay, Ideal base for exploring! Bonus having the kitchenette to save some money - Iceland is very expensive!

This property was a fantastic blend of historic architecture & details with a modern, clean update. Everything we needed (minus the microwave & dishwasher as stated on the description) was in our King Studio Apartment. Tasteful and vintage decor, clean and ample linens, soaps and even a Nespresso machine was much appreciated! The building’s location is perfect for access to the the downtown sights and shops. Easily walked to from the BSI and minutes away to Stop #6 if you’re going on excursions! Communication was always easy!
