Wonderful property and staff. It was close to everything so you’re able to walk and get to all attractions, bars, tours etc. parking is the only issue, no on sight parking so you have to find a garage or street parking, pay and then walk. If you find parking jnP2 it’s like $20 a day

The best restaurant in Reykjavík in my opinion also by the name Apotek Is accessible through a door, no more than 10 feet from the elevator. Pedestrian mall in many shops are within very easy walking distance. There is no dedicated parking or street parking but there is easy parking available at the City Hall garage about a three or four minute walk very upscale hotel highly recommended.

The Apotek is in downtown Reykjavik and within walking distance to many restaurants, the harbor, museums, etc. The Front Desk staff were very helpful. The breakfast buffet had a great selection of fruit, breads, meats, and hot dishes. Now for the negatives - on street parking was difficult to find. We ended up parking in a car park (parking garage) a few blocks away. The housekeeping staff seemed disorganized. The first day, after we had checked into our room, a housekeeper walked into our room after unlocking the door with her key. We were all quite surprised. The room had been cleaned and set-up, so apparently that information had not been updated on her list. The next day, after a long day of exploring Iceland, we walked into a room that did not get cleaned. The front desk was very apologetic and, of course, gave us fresh towels. The third day the room was cleaned. The bathroom was nice and fairly roomy. However, our shower was not completely enclosed which caused water to spray into the other parts of the bathroom. Our adult sons had another room which had a shower enclosure, so I guess just luck of the draw. Our room was very small, with two single beds pushed together. Overall, we would probably stay there again, maybe going for a larger room with enclosed shower.

As soon as I had a shower the entire bathroom flooded and the water had no where to go. I dont know why the layout in the bathroom is what it is but this must happen everytime. The rest of the night when I wanted to use the bathroom I had to walk through water to get to sink or toilet. No solution offered by front desk. Had to ask for a mop mgself. Would never stay here again

Also had the breakfast buffet, which is expensive but we thought totally worth it given the selection of food and the quality. Would highly recommend.

A very nice property in the center of town- most interesting areas of Reykjavik are walkable, and it’s close to pickups for tours. Our room needed a bit more brighter lights, but the bed and shower were excellent; there is also a fridge in the room and a small coffee maker. Good coffee within a block too.

If you are too hot and have to open the windows, the noise from outside is unbearable. Also, the black night lights by the bed cannot be turned off. You have basically have to remove your card that control the electrical power of the room in order to shut them off. If you do so, none of the electrical outlets in the room will work and whatever you planned to charge over night (e.g. phone, headphones, etc.) will not be charged.

It was fairly difficult to choose the right hotel online. It turns out that the location was good and central, better than all the many other hotels I saw online then in person. The rooms are clean and nice. Again, from what I saw of the other hotels, I'm glad I stayed here. The reception was terrible disappointment though. The staff was absolutely useless. They could give no real answers to any questions. regarding anything like parking or restaurants or about sight-seeing or anything. Not what I would expect from a hotel in the price category.

Great location! The staff at the front desk are not great. We arrived after a long trip, checked in and went to our room and there was no power. We went back down and the woman told us we had to put our key card in a slot in the room to get power- she said that’s how Europe is.. I live in US, have EU citizenship and found this rude. I told her that she should have let us know… she didn’t apologize. I was never given info on laundry until I called and asked. When is asked prices, they had no idea, called me later with price by item. Also, on the weekends the bar next door is so loud that we were on the top floor but it sounded like the dj was in our room until 5am. You have access to the spa at their sister hotel borg next door, which is lovely. We were not given a key or told services. Luckily I had booked prior to coming and the staff at hotel borg were much more helpful. The masseuse there was AMAZING- highly recommend. I would suggest staying at hotel borg, better vibe and nicer staff. Anytime we asked for a taxi or anything at Apotek they seemed annoyed and had no knowledge. The hotel was clean enough, restaurant morning buffet was super expensive and literally start closing and pulling food in right at 10 when they close. Even if you just sat down and 9:45, and no almond milk my whole week there. I had to buy it at the store literally feet away in a convenient store. Disappointing experience overall but we still loved Reykjavík. Thank you Marron for booking our massages!

I wish we had more time at this charming place. We disembarked from our cruise. The front desk personnel stored our luggage so that we could explore the area since our room wasn't available. When we returned, our luggage had already been placed in our room. The room was very clean. The hotel was in the perfect location to walk to many of the sights we wanted to hit. It was a nice 'base' to go to each time we ventured out. Just wish we could've stayed a little longer (we checked out at 5:15 a.m. to catch our flight). If ever we return, we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

I was traveling alone to Iceland and stayed at the Apotek hotel. It felt very safe and the staff was wonderful! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. There were plenty of dining options and the area was very walkable. It is also located conveniently near multiple bus stations making it easier to get around in Reykjavik. I would stay again and also recommend to others.

Great Hotel, perfect location for the Bus Transfers to the airport and downtown. We did not use the facilities of the hotel as we where out all the time, but room was nice and right next to a bakery for breakfast if you want something less expensive in the morning. As down town there is merriment noise into the early hours to be heard if you need the window open like we do, fine with treble glassing closed. Definitely would go back.

Room was slightly on the small side but was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Location is convenient - close to attractions, shopping, dining, and bus stop for pick-up. Because of proximity to bars, it can get loud even past midnight. Breakfast buffet was so-so. Highly recommend the restaurant outside of the buffet. We tried their platters and sampled some tasty icelandic cuisine.

Bus stop 3 is really close by, so if you're wondering if it'll be okay to get dropped off there and walk to the hotel with your things, you should be fine. The hotel restaurant is also amazing, get the 7 course tasting menu for Icelanders, it was so good!
