Odinn Reykjavik Skolavordustigur Apartments

What guests think

Travellers describe Odinn Reykjavik Skolavordustigur Apartments as a very central, self-catering base on Rainbow Street, with clean, comfortable spaces and great city access, though recurring street noise and occasional maintenance or communication issues can temper the experience.

Guests often highlight spacious apartments, street views, and handy kitchens for families and groups. Other recurring drawbacks are unclear entrance and check-in codes, paid or hard-to-find parking, a stair-only building, and occasional issues like warm rooms or dated furnishings. Expect a lively, walk-everywhere stay best for travellers who prioritize location over quiet.

Está propiedad es un engaño total! Se supone que es un Penthouse de lujo y en realidad está en pésimas condiciones! El apartamento huele a caño y, a pesar de que solicité que arreglaran desde el día uno, nunca hicieron nada para quitar la peste. Las ventanas y puertas no sirven correctamente: las ventanas se atoran y no se pueden abrir bien, las puertas son súper difíciles de abrir o cerrar, el vidrio del techo está roto y se mete el agua, las ventanas no están bien selladas y se mete el aire. La limpieza del apartamento es terrible hay muchísimo polvo por todos lados, especialmente debajo de las canas, la lavadora, refrigerador y lavavajillas no están en buen estado y no funcionan bien. Hay muchos focos fundidos y lámparas que no sirven. El baño secundario está terrible! No tiene ventilación, el piso está lleno de hongos, la cortina tiene hongos! Horrible de verdad! Las habitaciones no tienen clóset, salvo una de ellas y otra tiene espacio para colgar 4 cosas. El edificio está viejo y súper maltratado, la alfombra de las escaleras está sucia, rota y huele mal. Las paredes están súper manchadas y tienen grietas. No hay elevador y tienes que subir 3 pisos con maletas. El personal de limpieza es muy grosero y se molestó cuando me quejé del olor. Aunque el departamento está bien ubicado, hay demasiado ruido afuera y como las ventanas no están selladas se escucha mucho dentro. Exijo una compensación

We were nine women traveling together, and the apartment was spacious with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There was plenty of space and all necessary kitchen equipment was available. It’s located right in the city center, within walking distance to most places. Unfortunately, there was some dampness in the rooms. The staircase up to the apartment had a strong, unpleasant smell, so we had to hurry through it. No elevator. Great place to stay for a few days, but perhaps not ideal for a longer stay. Overall a nice apartment :)

There were quite a few issues with the apartment. The bathroom shower had a major leak spraying water all over. The tv did not work ( we were able to fix by re-booting it). There was large mold spores on the ceiling over the sitting room in the bedroom. We emailed them first day. What we got on day 2 was a mop and two batteries left outside the entrance to the apartment! We had to wrap a towel around the shower faucet for the rest of the week! Also, you have to stand on a chair to reach the microwave ( the refrigerator underneath stays open while putting things in and out of the microwave. Also, the freezer needs to be defrosted too. The air circulation is bad too. And be prepared for a very noisy location. We mentioned all this and nothing was done! Very disappointing. Only good thing was that the place was clean and kitchen and bathroom well supplied.

We thought this place was a complete dump. It was expensive for a dirty rental, the sheets were not clean and covered in hair. The arrival was difficult, the room keys were not labeled on the lockbox so had to try multiple before we found ours. Although the communication was good, we were quite shocked by the conditions of this rental, especially given the price.

Location to all parts of the city so easy to get to from this location. We were so pleased with our stay. Apartment was very clean and we arrived to some groceries which was incredibly helpful. Dishwasher works well. Sofa bed very large and quite comfy. Plenty of space for a group of 3, would also be OK for 4. It had a coat hanging and shoe rack area... can't tell you how helpful this was! Sounds crazy, but trust me it makes such a difference when you have huge coats and lots of dirty walking boots/shoes. The only bad point was the noise. It was very very noisy because of it's location. It was not a problem for us but bring ear plugs if prefer not to be bothered by noise. I would not let this put you off, it was a brilliant place to stay. I would definitely look to stay here for my next visit.

Picture shown as advertised as luxurious apartment was not how the actual apartment looked like. The lighting inside the kitchen area was so dark. Sofa bed was offered for 2 people but cushions were not of the same level. I’ll give it a 10/10 for location because it’s in the center of main attractions and a lot of shops/eating places around.

This property's location is superb, everything is on your doorstep, the flat was spacious and the beds were comfortable and plentiful. And it was warm - though most of us thought much too warm. However, the property needs significant maintenance and updates. The communication with the property management was poor in that they barely responded and the television didn't work at all and the internet was very patchy.

Stayed 5 nights

My husband and I spent 5 nights in the 2 bedroom apartment. We loved the location and the apartment was nice and well stocked: dishwasher, coffee maker, pots and pans were ok, silverware drawer when we finally found it, fridge and freezer, etc. Each bed had a towel which left us 6 bath towels total. And one kitchen towel. There was a notice to reach out if you wanted more towels but no one ever answered us. This was part of a longer trip and I saw there were laundry facilities so I reached out prior to our trip to ensure this was in fact the case. We packed knowing we'd have a washing machine to wash clothes. There is NO washing machine. And again, when we reached out (text, message through hotels.com, email...) there was no reply AT ALL. I have the reply from before the trip ensuring us there was a washing machine in the unit. This made it a little difficult for us and frustrating. I want to give the apartment and location all the stars but I can't. No communication and a blatant dishonesty about amenities is hard for me to accept. The note also asks you to run the dishwasher and take out all the trash. I did my part and did those things. Reluctantly but I'm a rule follower, what can I say. Downstairs (our apartment was on floor 2) is a little market which we went to daily for snacks and such. The water in the apartment is good, let it run about 30 seconds then chill and drink or drink room temp. No need to buy water every day.

The place is nicely renovated, and the area and location are convenient. However, finding our room was a challenge due to unclear directions, and communication with the hosting company was disappointing. The room was listed under a different name than expected, which caused confusion. We also noticed a broken window upon arrival. On checkout, guests are asked to complete tasks like running the dishwasher, removing bed sheets, and taking out the trash, which feels like taking on part of the cleaning responsibilities. While the location is great, it would be better if guests weren’t expected to handle so much of the cleaning themselves.

The location of this accommodation was fantastic - so central and close to everywhere, right at the heart of Reykjavík, close to the old harbour and many shops including supermarkets close by. Getting in to the apartment was a little unclear. We were sent the codes in advance but the code for the key box was very small and instead the code for the front door was the one we were trying - the code for the key safe and the code for the front door are different. The key safe code is very small on the check in information. The apartment itself was ok but didn’t look anything like the pictures, it could definitely do with an upgrade as it did look a little run down. It was also boiling inside the apartment as we weren’t able to control the heating ourselves but we just opened the windows when we were in. The kitchen was handy with a microwave, toaster, hob and other accessories to cook a meal but no oven. The amenities it mentions included some cleaning items in the bathroom and a bottle of body wash. The bed and pillows were comfy and we slept okay and didn’t find the noise outside too bad considering it was right in the centre, though our apartment was at the back. The sofa bed was big though we never needed it as a bed and there’s a tv in the living room it needed. Check out was easy enough, we were asked to strip the bedding, put the dishwasher on (though there wasn’t a dishwasher but we’d already washed everything and put it away) and put the key back in the key safe.

We had a great stay at the Odinn. Finding the entrance was a challenge, but we figured it out. The pictures helped, but, there are 2 black doors. One is all black/located in an arched driveway area where many trash bins were located (this is the one you want) The other is black with glass panes accessible from the sidewalk. The lockboxes are clearly labeled but the labels didn't match all of the names on the Apt. doors during our stay. There are 2 codes; one is to open the all-black door. You enter, and go up the stairs to find the apts. Code # 2 is for the lockbox. It showed up on my email with tiny font under the 1st code. The host responded w/a copy of the original chk in info, but it took a while. I requested fresh towels 1/2 way into our 4nt stay. No response. Pros: --Location (walking distance to museums, stores, bus stops, laundry, etc) --Spacious Studio --REALLY comfortable beds and space --dishwasher Cons: --location (if you go to sleep before 11pm) --no washer --smell in hallway/stairs (smell was much better inside apt.) --access while jet lagged was a bit tricky --curtains were not full-black out curtains so the midnight sun seeped into the room. All in all, we had a great stay. It was right on top of one end of Rainbow street and was strangely quiet between 12-5a (for a city). Someone left a jug of soap in the shower and hand soap+dish soap were provided. The room was clean, warm and linens/beds were comfortable. The value/location worked for us.

I booked mid afternoon for a 1 night stay. Got to the property with my family later that evening, and found some lock boxes on a graffiti filled back alley. There way no communication from the owner on how to get in, so I was stuck on the street in winter with my family. Expedia wouldn't help. I had to re-book at another hotel so we wouldn't freeze. Owner refused to refund our money, even though the room we paid for was never made available to us. AVOID THIS PROPERTY

The location of this room could not possibly be better! The intersection of Skólavörðustígur and Laugavegur is the absolute heart of downtown. Self-check in was a breeze, and with the pullout sofa there was plenty of room for our family of four. There is no private parking, but finding free on-street parking in Rekjavik is easy if you're willing to walk 5-10 minutes and park just a few blocks away. Will certainly add it to our list of places to stay while in Iceland!

Prime location right at the end of the Rainbow Street. Took us a few minutes to locate the door. Can be a bit loud due to action on the street but still had no issues sleeping. Very comfortable for family of 5. Shower has strong sulfur smell due to geothermal heating of water but that’s fine. Room was clean and kitchen had most things we needed. Could have used a pair of oven mitts for taking things out of the oven safely. Thanks for a great stay. We love Iceland. Only about a 15 minute walk to/from the bus station which is convenient.

El alojamiento realmente está muy bien,ubicado en plena calle central de Reykjavik.Cerca de supermercado,restaurantes,cafeterias...El problema es que también está al lado de los pubs y no está insonorizado por lo que no hay quien duerma en toda la noche.A lo mejor en invierno, cuando los borrachuzos no salen a gritar fuera de los pubs se está bien.Esa zona de la ciudad es de aparcamiento de pago.Hay que dejar el coche un poco alejado para pagar menos de parking.
