We stayed one night. Appreciate the washer/drier and laundry detergent. Coffee maker and pods, room darkening curtain (traveled in June so day light all day), quiet room, beds ready on arrival, easy check in and out, communication excellent.
Would recommend to family and friends.

We landed in Reykjavik on early sunday morning, we requested for early checkin previously as our regular checkin is not until 3 PM. She agreed with an extra charge which was ok for us. When we reached the property, the key code that was sent to us over email wont work. After multiple tries calling the number given in the email, we were connected and was put on hold and was told that we would be called back. Upon that, we were not informed that there was some construction / remodel work happening, which I found very inconvenient for the guests. I would have appreciated if we were notified about it previously. Apartment was clean though. But if I think about the stay, I would remember the initial difficulty with checkin process. Location of the apartment was very central with walking distance to all the main attractions in Reykjavik.

The entryway to the Island Apartments was dirty and littered. Once you entered one door, there were bags of trash and recycling awaiting you. When you climbed the stairs, you could see water damage on the walls. Our room had hair in it. We had two towels and asked for more for our kids, and housekeeping said they couldn't accommodate it. We left and went to another hotel without a refund. Couldn't do it!
We stayed in 5 hotels during our trip touring the island, and this one was by far the worst.

It's walkable .. The issue is the name of the place is so tiny you cannot easily locate .
Also , no communication sent to you via e-mail.
If you don't have a roaming phone in that instant you might be sleeping in the street ... I have to ring them as no reception only through phone calll ..

**There is NO parking on site** You drive around and try to find parking in the city and pay for it each time. We assumed that “parking on site” meant that there is a place to park “on site”. Unfortunately not, and it was hassle each night when we got to the hotel, we had to walk at least a few blocks each way.

The location is in good proximity to all the major sites and clean. Close to everything you need. The apartment was fine for one night, but I do not recommend this place for families. It’s so small. Noise coming from the street below will keep you up all night. And street parking was difficult to find. Also, it’s on the second floor so be prepared to haul your luggage up the stairs.

Warm and comfortable stay. Great location too!

Just an overall great place. Ideal location for someone visiting since it is so close to all restaurants, shops and pick up spots for tours/airport. The accommodation is comfortable and clean. Loved the hot showers with good water pressure with the added bonus of towel warmer. The host could not have been more accommodating making sure we have everything we needed daily. Space is entirely up to you to decide what you would like to pay for and each room is reasonably priced. Don't expect the Four Seasons amenities, but if you plan on making the most of Iceland, there's no need. It is perfect for exploring Reykjavik and coming back to a comfortable and cozy place.

Great little apartments. Kitchen was small, but suited our needs as we really only did small meals there. The only issue I had with the property was that our window faced into a very narrow alley of sorts that didn’t allow for air flow. The room was very warm.

Slightly above average, but not 100% awesome.

Space adequate for up to 2 \"average-sized\" adults. I say this because if you are any larger than average, the shower will probably be uncomfortable.
Pros: Clean and modern accommodations. Close walk to waterfront, bus stop 7, and the 24/7 store, 10-11 - though things in downtown Reykjavik are not far to walk to. Comfy bed, mini fridge, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, dishware, and utensils are provided.
Cons: Although it was stated there is not 24/7 reception/concierge services, there was not a single moment in which reception was available during my stay - even when I knocked at 10:00 AM (which seems like a standard time people would be working). This is inconvenient for a place called a \"hotel,\" because check-out time is 11:00 AM and I did not have to board a departing bus out of Reykjavik until 1:30 PM. I had to drag my suitcase and carry-on luggage all over the downtown instead of being able to request reception hold onto my baggage. Stayed 2 nights and housekeeping did not make my bed or wash my dishes (2 mugs + 1 spoon) after my first night - all they did was take out the trash.

Great studio apartment in good location

The apartment itself is lovely. Clean and well maintained. The service we experienced was very good as well. The apartment is well located - and easy to walk to most places. I would definitely recommend Island Apartments. Only one small \"but\" - if you are a light sleeper, pack earplugs as there is noise from the road, and fellow guests are not always very considerate. These comments do not detracted from the fact that we did have a lovely stay - I just think it is important that people are aware of it.

We had only 24 hours in Reykjavik and just wanted a reasonably priced comfortable place to stay while exploring the city.

Central location with great customer service

I stayed in the small no-view apartment in August. The location is fantastic--super close to lots of great restaurants and sights, but still quiet enough to sleep soundly. The no-view apartment has a window that is non-functional--there is a wall right up against it, so no light gets through. This is good for sleeping during summer nights when the night is bright.

Ingunn responded to my email questions quickly and was incredibly helpful. There's no traditional front desk but it's super easy to enter the apartment with the code provided and if you need any help at all Ingunn will make it happen! I was super impressed with her helpfulness and kindness.

The code is emailed to you the day of your stay so be sure to have access to wifi (available in the airport and lots of coffees shops in the area).

Great location and great room

The outside of the hotel looks a little scary. We loved the room and the location. Easy to get to everything. Bus stop 7 is where all of the excursions and transfers start and end. It is an easy 2 block walk to the hotel.

The room is more of an apartment than a hotel. Microwave, dishes, refrigerator, and more. Instructions to access the wifi and the security code to the building access code came in a well laid out email. The staff was just an email away and took care of everything.
The light switch is a little weird. There are three light switches in the entrance. The top one turns on all of the other switches.

A Cozy paradise at the heart of the city!

I stayed with my family of 4 (including 2 small kids) from Dec 20 to Dec 30. The apartment is very convenient, beautifully decorated, and the cleanest apartments we have stayed at. They do not have an on-site staff all the time, but do have a great electronic system to get in the doors (a numerical code provided by email). They also have someone come in to replenish essential supplies and do a simple vaccum of the floors each day. The owners and staff that we did meet were wonderful people. They were always there to provide any assistance we needed.

The apartment is situated right above a great Indian restaurant (which was convenient for us). It is also situated on the parallel street to the Main street in Reykjavik- so, we were within walking distance to all the main attractions within Reykjavik. The apartment is also very close to Bus stops (including the bus stop for all the tour buses). The kitchen inside the apartment was small, but very efficient and we certainly were enjoying the benefit of cooking our food every now and then (since Reykjavik restaurants can be too expensive).

It was a truly memorable vacation made extra memorable by this apartment and the people who own the place. I would fully recommend this place to anyone!

clean and spacious apartment in a great location

The building is a little difficult to find; the main door is street level just to the right of the “56”. The property will contact you before your stay, since there is no front desk, to discuss the check in time/information. No elevator, walk up a flight of stairs to the Apartments. No parking, but nearby P1, P2, or P3 (cheapest). The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable – small dinette table, couch, tv, very small kitchen area (2 burners, microwave, fridge, sink, dishes), decent sized bathroom. It was close to many bars/restaurants and was in a safe area. Free wifi worked well. Everything felt new which was nice. Lost a star for having to communicate several times about when/.how to check in; I'd rather just book and show up. Also a little expensive for a Tuesday night, but such is Iceland. We would stay again for a good price.

Island Apartments were great in every way for my stay. if I had been on vacation I would have stayed longer. the location in downtown Reykjavik was perfect 1 street down from all the restaurants and major therofare of Reykjavik. the room was very clean and modern and despite its all size would have been perfect for up to 2 people. the staff was extremely friendly and had i had any questions I'm sure they would have been more then happy to assist. It truly is apartment style living so if you need all the amenities of a traditional Hotel this is not for you, but if you are just here to experience iceland and do not plan on spending much time in the lodging (as you shouldn't in iceland) this is a great fit.

Great stay for a fun day in Reykjavik

The Island Apartments were a great stop for one night in Reykjavik. The staff was amazing at responding to emails. I emailed a few days before our stay to see if we could check in early or drop off our bags because our flight got in at 4:30am. While they weren't able to then, by the time our flight arrived in Keflavik, I got an email saying that luckily, the room was empty and they gave us a code to enter the room for an early check-in. It was so easy to get and find the room. The quick nap we were able to take before exploring the city saved us and prevented jet lag. It was mid-May and the sun doesn't really go down, but the curtains help offset the light. The location is prime as it's just a few blocks away from all the action, but also quiet enough to get some rest. The room was so clean and had all the amenities necessary. As most European places, it's cozy but not claustrophobic. The bathroom and shower were very nice. We'll definitely look to stay here again next time we're traveling through Reykjavik.

Great wee place. You wouldn't think much of it from the outside but it's perfect inside. We were very much left alone which was nice- but help was always at hand if needed. Great base just off the Main Street. Perfectly clean, tidy and bright.

Perfect for our short stay

Stayed at the Island Apartment for 4 nights and it was perfect. Location excellent, very clean and comfortable and had everything we expected. Random window which could only be slightly cracked open as next doors building was about 2inches away. Couldn't have asked for anything more though.

Really nice apartment in a great location

Couldn't have asked for more really. Perfectly located for the old town, shopping, restaurants, pickups/drop offs for your buses and airport transfers. Lovely clean, modern and stylish apartment in a small block and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Kitchen is very compact, but everything you need for light meals (breakfast etc) if self / part self catering. I would definitely choose to stay here again if I visit Reykjavik in the future!

great stay only the stairs are not so easy

we love the apartment, staffs are nice friendly and helpful. however, as me and my sister are quite tiny women and each of us has one luggage full of winter clothes. the stairs to the apartment is really killing us. bringing the luggaes up to our room and down when leaving literally hurts our back... the hours we arrived and left the apartment has no staffs attend to help. but I must say the apartment is very convenient in location as well as we are happy that we can cook our breakfast. makes whole stay more comfortable and feeling like home.

Cosy, clean and convenient hotel

Plus : Room was equipped with most kitchen facilities like induction cooker, kettle, microwave, utensils pots, sink, table etc, which resulted in us making our own meals; Very well equipped with heaters (even in toilet) which is good for cold winter in Reykjavik; Good and spacious shower facilities; Two twin beds which were very comfortable on top of sofa; Short walking distance from the main shopping street and supermarket; Very convenient check in and check out with the digital pass at the door.

Minus : No lift, and had to carry heavy luggage up the 2 flight of stairs; I was given a room beside the street so this means heavy vehicles noise and people talking at the ground floor which could be heard very clearly in the night.

Overall, still satisfied. Had a homely feeling.

Great apartment with the perfect location

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect! Some of the reviews mentioned the entryway was hard to find but we didn't have any problems as the door was clearly marked Island Apartments. This place has a keyless entry system, so you just need the code to get around. Found this to be very convenient! The apartment itself was exactly as described. Very modern, simple & clean. The beds are 2 twin beds put together (looks like it can be moved if needed)...firm mattresses and super warm blankets. Having the small kitchenette was really helpful for us to do a bit of cooking. Also the bathroom floor was automatically heated which was nice. The location was excellent! Just a block away from the main street where all the shops, bars/restaurants are.

The only minor feedback I would have is that the bathroom shower could use a shelf (we had to put shampoo/conditioner on the floor) and although we had the heat turned off, the apartment was really hot so we slept with the window open (there is a lot of street noise so if you are a light sleeper that could be a problem). We never brought this up with management so this is something they may have been able to correct.

Very nice, close to everything in Reykjavik

First apartment had an issue with the shower drain, the owner Ingunn responded promptly and even moved us to a larger apartment for the rest of our stay. Lovely comforters on the beds, very clean, great shower, very hot water, whole apartment almost too warm coming in from the cold outside. Definitely recommend this place.

Great place to stay

Really enjoyed my stay at island apartments was in a fantastic location everything was within walking distance also there is a supermarket only a few minutes away. The apartment was easy to find and very clean. When we arrived the host was lovely and very welcoming let us check in early and check out later when we left. She also let us leave our bags in the office on our last day whilst we wonder around the city. Our room was nice and cosy also very handy with a kitchen and had a comfy bed we got a good night sleep. I can't think of anything I could complain about! Can't describe how wonderful the host was to us. Highly recommend staying at island apartments you won't regret it!!!

A perfect place away from home

Looking for something clean, easygoing, quaint, yet located in a hot spot near downtown, a three minute walk from Iceland's most famous hot dogs? Look no further.

Checking in and arriving was an easy process. We came fairly late, but notifying the property allowed is to remotely check in and out, getting a door code in the process. Though small, our studio was modern and well furnished, and the double bed was actually a double bed, rather than two pushed together twins - a major plus.

We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone else! Parking is not included, but street and lot parking is readily available and free if you're out and about during most of the day anyway.

Great little bolt hole, comfortable and clean

As I was arriving late they contacted me in advance by email to see if I needed any special help to check in as that service was only available between 15.00-18.00. As it happens, I was able to get there for 16.00 so all was well. I was greeted by very friendly staff who showed me straight to my room and gave me the lowdown on the door codes for entry etc. The room itself was really comfortable with good facilities and utensils for cooking should you need them. Great TV with lots of English channels. The only problem was that I didn't stay long enough. When I had to change my travel plans and get to the bus station before 5 am, staff called the shuttle service and arranged for them to come for me at 4.30. All part of the service. This is a well appointed, well serviced and well situated apartment hotel minutes from the shopping and restaurants.
