Thingholt Hotel Apartments from Center Hotels

The apartment was clean, comfortable and had a small kitchenette with stove top, oven, microwave and kitchenware. Perfect location to walk and explore Reykjavik. There are 4 free parking spots behind the apartment that is shared with the hotel. It is first come first serve.

Took a long time for reception to make the touchpad lock work. Also parking can’t be reserved which makes it a total lottery and difficult to know whether to plan an alternative.

In downtown Reykjavik and easy to walk everywhere. The apartment was spacious! It had a washer included which helped a lot! The noise level in the morning will wake you up and although parking is included, there’s only 4 and maybe squeeze in 5 cars. We parked at a lot further away but it was fine. Overall a good stay though!!

Parking is annoying. They did not give us a parking permit / sticker for the free parking in the back despite the email saying guests can request one. I requested it but was given a pamphlet of the parking times and parking apps instead , that’s great and all but I would’ve liked the parking pass I was promised lol. We had to pay for parking on the street for our trip which added up , ended up getting a ticket because it’s only free after 9:00pm and the ticket was cheaper than parking all day there . Bonus (grocery store) is a walk down the street which is great and convenient. Utensils and cutlery was handy dandy and they have a great oven and pots and pans to use . Bathroom was small but did the job and towel warmers were very warm and hot , that was nice. Though we brought our own, the shower came with body wash . Lots of towels and city view was nice from our room. Some guests can be loud. Upstairs neighbors were up until 3 am drinking, they have noice policies and party policies but doesn’t seem like it’s enforced. I’m pregnant and it was annoying sleeping some days, I wouldn’t recommend it for families traveling with small children who need their sleep . Overall still good place , just make sure you really communicate with them to not lose out on paying for parking

our one bedroom with kitchenette was nice. comfortable. the bed was large king. the bathroom was sufficiently large with one large sink. could not ask for more. parking only had 4 slots on a first come first use basis. but during our stay a 5th car was parked infant of the pedestrian gate and was luckily not towed. Bad tourist but that's life. great place to stay in the downtown area and walkable to most of the sites.

We arrived at the hotel office across the street from the Thinghold Apartments to check in. I parked on the street directly in front of the office. During check-in, the agent told us that the Thingholt Apartments only has 4 parking spots, and they were all full. I asked if it was then OK for me to leave our car parked on the street instead. She said that a referendum by the city council had just taken effect 4 days prior, making all parking paid. I asked how I could pay through our departure time in the morning, and she told me that there was no way to prepay for the next day, so someone would have to come out and feed the meter by 9:00am. Talk about an inconvenience! The listing for these apartments should now say, "Almost zero parking." I gripe, but we got extremely lucky. As I was hauling our luggage into the unit from the back alley, one of the four cars left... so I took his spot.

The location and size of the apartment is what really stands out on this place. You can easily walk to anything! Nightlife in the surrounding areas does make it loud at night but we were aware of that and used earplugs. Plus the parking spot was a plus

Apartment it is in great condition, extremely well located,staff very helpful. When I booked the parking was included, but when I got there, there wasn't any parking available.

We loved our stay here. Loved the apartment style.We could make meals in if chose to or use the amenities of the hotel across the street or anywhere else if we wanted to go out. Was close to everything in the centre hub. Staff was lovely. Only con I would say is the lack of parking. There are only 4, and there’s no guarantee it will be there when you come back, if you are lucky enough to get one at all. But having said that, we would still stay here again.

Location was great! We’re family of 3 here for the marathon, 5 mins walk to race start line. A couple blocks away from the finish, super convenient! Parking worked out great for us since we were about to grab the last spot behind the apartment. There were only a few parking spaces, 1st come 1st serve. So we walked and took the bus while in town. The apartment was clean well equipped with cookingware, utensils & dinnerware. Washing machine were very helpful, we were able to wash the sweaty clothes after the race before continuing a weeklong road trip. Supermarket nearby, picked up eggs, bread and milk, made breakfast every morning before heading out to save time & money. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again next time to Reykjavik.

Negatives: - (Terrible smell) - The main thing is : the apartment really smells terrible. The water in the shower smells a lot. Every time I came back to the hotel and opened the door my thought was "oh gosh, it smells". In order to visit multiple places I stayed in 3 different hotels. All the other hotels were super nice and the water was clean, fresh and without smell. I truly recommend the hotel/apt to re-evaluate the water situation. - (Dark room) the room is dark. There are small lights but the room is still dark. - (Photos vs reality) - the photos on the advertisement make it look like a nice place. I would suggest placing the real photos without a filter. - (lack of communication) - There is no lobby at this place. On the time of check in they email you the apt number and a door code. I had few questions, so I contacted the hotel/apt multiple different days and times without an answer (2 different e-mails and called 2 different phone numbers). Few days later I got an email. - (Parking permit) - Parking spots aren't guaranteed. There are 4 spots in the back of the hotel/apt for parking. At some point I noticed the car next to mine had a parking permit. I asked the other guest. He said that I need to walk to a different hotel that is from the same hotel chain and ask for a parking permit. That information is supposed to be informed by my hotel/apt. In addition to that, since they don't have a lobby they are supposed to leave everything, the guest might need, into the r

Room was spacious and spotless, location perfectly in the middle of shops and restaurants!

Very clean. Well equipped.

The property is well located but we felt noise from the front door area it felt as if someone was coming in when people arrived to their places. Also the apartment had not vote whatsoever. Felt misleading based on the photos. We had no bedroom windows only the entrance and face a staircase and a wall. Also the room felt claustrophobic as it’s was between two walls and no space at all. Also the washer/dryer was unusable and I believe unsanitary as had water holding what smelled like days which means that housekeeping didn’t clean properly the room. My partner started to get sick and we believe it’s because of the possible mold forming on the property. Not my best experience. I would not recommended to anyone.

Was spotless and had all amenities needed. We really enjoyed our stay & is right in the centre of everything

Lovely hotel. Great staff. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Had a few issues with kitchen equipment not working but these were sorted out quickly.

Convenient. Clean. Quiet. A very pleasant stay.

It is very centrally locatef in Reykjavik, and smaller than expected, but nice. We were waiting for our check-in email that never came. We discovered for ourselves that you now check in across the road at another hotel. Sewage smell in the bathroom. Parking is very limited. Oven and stove don't work well

Very accessible area. Multiple parking options and zones. Food all around and in the middle for the main attractions. Some idiot set fire alarm off late evening but the staff dealt with it very quickly. Clean modern and fresh I would say as a basic summary. Icelandic prices massive compared to UK but you have to simply deal with it. The apartment has basic amenities but everything you need to prep for a long trip ahead. Kids couldn't get round the sulphur smell from the shower but I'm sure they will understand in years to come. Will be returning.

Room was very clean, had all the facilities we needed and staff friendly and accommodating

We were really happy with our accommodations. Our one br had a large queen and a pull out sofa that easily fit three adults. The kitchenette and laundry was very convenient. Location is amazing!! There was occasional exterior noise (more for the sofa sleeper).

Room was spacious and spotless, location perfectly in the middle of shops and restaurants!

Room was fantastic, we a great cooking facilities - oven and hob. Decent fridge with small freezer and a small dishwasher. Great location, very central, 3 mins from bus stop 6. Would definitely recommend

Very noisy. Festival on the street however after its end still very very noisy. Bed placed right under the window making it hard to sleep. Clean and nice place overall. Very stupid ”door” to the bathroom. Sliding and leaving 4 cm in between enabling you to watch your partner on the toilet while in bed. Also the door is made of glass. Pointless.

The room was big, clean, and comfortable, with a handy kitchenette for making breakfast. Unfortunately, it was really noisy—I could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around all night, and it made it hard to sleep.

Apartment was comfortable. No standard TV. You had to use your own Netflix, etc. Doir could use some shade to keep light out at night.

The location of this property cannot be beat. It's close to everything! The apartment was small but cute, clean, and well appointed. It even had a washer/dryer that wasn't listed in the amenities when I chose the room. The staff at the sister hotel across the street were always friendly and helpful.

Great location Small for an apartment

Great location downtown. Clean and well maintained apartment hotel with fully equipped kitchen. Our unit was small and not as shown in photos and was misleading when booking the unit. The unit looked out onto an outside guest corridor and we had to leave the blinds closed all the time for privacy. No natural light coming into the unit made the apartment depressing. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable and the queen bed was wedged into a small nook with no way to get into bed from either side. Bathroom was nice.

Property was in the center of town which made access perfect to restaurants shops etc. Our room was literally in the basement (1st floor) and was very dark. Lighting was poor.

The staff was very helpful and professional. Bora went above and beyond to assist us. The property was very clean and nice. Thank you!

Lovely hotel. Great staff. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Had a few issues with kitchen equipment not working but these were sorted out quickly.

We had an amazing 2 night stay at the Apt . Arthur and Jerry from reception were amazing ! They assisted us with room upgrade and made sure that we are happy with our stay. The location is very close to everything ( rainbow road,Hallgrimskirkja, sun voyager, shopping for souvenirs, resto etc) . Cons: Parking was a challenge but if you’re lucky you get a spot at the back of the hotel/ apt.no microwave, hot water has a strong smell but cold is a bit better. Has a washer /dryer combo machine which can be a challenge to figure out to work at first 😃. Overall, this is a great place to stay and highly recommended!

Very well equipped apartment. Staff were very helpful. Location was perfect.

We arrived early. We were told we would have our room at 14:00. It was not ready. We told them we would wait in the lobby (visible from the front desk) and please let us know when it would be ready. They did not. We waited until 15:00, the normal check-in time, and they had a room for us. No one ever let us know. With that said, we had a good stay and would stay again.

I never got my check in information 24 hours before my stay. I got off my plane and headed straight there and contacted the hotel numerous times. I got my check in information at 430 am. By that timeI was sleeping in my car. The only email.i recieved said that there are no refumds. I tried to co tact hotels.com and all they do is put you through to the hotelthar doesnt respond. The whole situation is very upsetting.

nice and friendly staff

The apartment was lovely and I wish I could have stayed longer. The location was perfect-in the center of downtown Reyjkavik. My only quible was getting into the apartment. It was easy to get into the apartment but following the instructions i received, I couldnt get into thr apt. I called their number and i was told that i had to go across the street to get a key. Not a big problem. Also be warned. There is an elevator but 3 steps to get to it. Also, a big step down once you open the apt door. Once again, not a big issue. It is a lovely apt .

Expedia overbooked the property so we didn’t get the apartment we paid for but the staff at the neighboring hotel was fantastic in attempting to accommodate us

Great location, 10 minutes from harbour and literally on the main tourists road. Hotel is family friendly. We stayed in the flats and the room was clean and had everything you need to prepare food for the little ones. Shop nearby and there was parking available during our stay. But first come first served. This might be busy during peak periods and impossible to get a parking spot.

Room was fantastic, we a great cooking facilities - oven and hob. Decent fridge with small freezer and a small dishwasher. Great location, very central, 3 mins from bus stop 6. Would definitely recommend

Was spotless and had all amenities needed. We really enjoyed our stay & is right in the centre of everything

Perfectly located, only steps away from the rainbow street from

Probably the best self catering apartment I’ve ever stayed in, & there have been many. Excellently equipped, in the most ideal location, I’m already to book again for my trip to Reykjavik next November !!

The location and size of the apartment is what really stands out on this place. You can easily walk to anything! Nightlife in the surrounding areas does make it loud at night but we were aware of that and used earplugs. Plus the parking spot was a plus

Great place to stay in the center of town.

Location and the space was perfect for family.

Fantastic location in the center of town and within easy walking distance of the Museums and shopping. Also an easy 20minute walk from the bus station which was good. Plus thanks for looking after our luggage when we arrived early, This gave us extra time to explore the town !

Excellent apartment/hotel in Reykjavik. Great location downtown, close to all the shopping and bus stops 3 and 6 for bus tours. The kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals. The only thing is that it’s a bit loud at night due to nearby bars and restaurants. But the hotel provides earplugs. Comfortable rooms and bed which made our trip even more enjoyable. Will stay here again.

No food options that i was made aware of

Loved this hotel! The staff was most accommodating in every way. Their buffet breakfast was excellent. The area was lovely and walking distance to the harbor and City Center.

It was a very nice accomodation in a convenient part of town. Only complaint is the VIP benefit was very restrictive--we thought it was for food and drink any time in our stay, but it only applied to breakfast(and not to alcohol), so we didnt use it..

Lovely convenient place to stay. Great to have a small kitchen. The staff was very helpful and the basket of food I ordered was more than generous. The hotel is within walking distance of 2 bus stops.

Good breakfast available. Sleek contemporary furnishings.

Excellent location, lovely room and a useful amount of resources in the kitchen. I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff were very helpful when I had questions.

Apartments were a great place for a few days stay in Reykjavik & adding in a breakfast basket was a great idea for ready supplies to set you up for a days exploring.

Anyone who has visited Iceland will tell you it’s expensive for foreigners but incredibly friendly. These apartments are very very comfortable and offer a great reception area to relax with very good buffet breakfast and friendly staff. The amazing thing is that compared to similar options, I chose this option to save a little money 🤗

Departamentos ubicados en el corazón de Reikiavik. Un poco pequeño pero tenía todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. El front desk y el desayuno están en el hotel de enfrente. Las personas de recepción, especialmente Ana y olvide su nombre pero la chica de Albania, son súper amables, divertidas y muy eficientes. Nos ayudaron en todo e hicieron nuestra estancia muy placentera. Recomiendo ampliamente el desayuno. Gran estancia :)

Thingholt was in a great location close to bus pick-up spots for tours and restaurants. The staff were very welcoming and responsive. I liked staying in their apartment units. Could do my own laundry amd the grocery store was less than two blocks away. This would be my preferred place to stay if I were to come back. My only dissapointment was they did not have a dinner restaurant on premises for those nights after a long day of touring.
