This was the perfect stay for our trip. The location is just a couple of short blocks from the main shopping center and from the waterfront (you can’t beat the location. The included breakfast basket and fresh bread saved us so much money as we were able to make it last for breakfast and lunch. Having the kitchen to store and heat food was super helpful.

We rarely lounged in our room. We were on the go most of our trip (driving as far south as Diamond Beach and back in one day!). If you plan to also be out and about then this is a great stay. Black out curtains made sleeping in the summer easy. I wouldn’t pick this location if you were looking for a lounging vacation (it doesn’t have a lot of chill space).

Some things to note: Checking in was the hardest part because you need to park (preferably in the P3 parking area) and walk to the main location. Our room was in the Tannery which was a couple of blocks away from the main registration location. Another thing to note is the dryer situation. The dryers don’t work well. We had clothes in there for 3 hours and they remained wet. We ended up hanging them on the heated towel rack or just in the closet area. One time they allowed us to use the service dryers (those worked great).

We loved the staff, loved our room, and really loved the breakfast!

The shower is a little tight and awkward being that water gets everywhere. Wish we had two floor towels to go around the area but didn't have enough. Could only sacrifice 1. Otherwise it was clean and everything worked, and the staff cleaning the room did a good job cleaning everything.

Note there is no AC, only a heater as it's rare for it to be so warm you need AC in iceland. The kitchenette was a great add and so useful. It was stocked with almost everything needed, especially a Nespresso and kettle. Plenty of room in the suite apart from the washroom. Staff were friendly, although, one guy lost track of two bags we were storing with them before check in about two hours previous, but was able to find them. That portion was a little concerning, apparently they had done some moving around, but they did find them shortly after.

Our family had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The front desk staff was absolutely outstanding—every single person we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Having someone available 24/7 made everything so easy, and they always went above and beyond to assist us.

We stayed for two nights at the beginning of our trip and enjoyed it so much that we came back for our final night in Iceland. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. And the shower deserves a special mention—it was hands down the best shower we experienced during our entire trip!

We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Iceland and will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

The pictures are different from the actual hotel. 5-7 buildings are scattered around the area so make sure to know which building you are in.

The configuration is unlike anything else I have seen. It is a series of houses/apartments across the town that are rented out as hotel rooms. Ours was a 5 minute walk from the main desk. The house looked more like a B&B than a hotel. The room was awesome with a living room, two TVs, kitchenette, bathroom and a king size bed. I would definitely stay here again.

Apartment was really nice. Had one little issue with check in. Wanted to check in early and pay the fee but the previous guests had not left yet. No problem. Came back hours later and was told that it was clean and ready but they were waiting for the final check. Was told I would get a text when it was ready. Never got a text but did get an email at the normal check in time. Elevator is a little noisy and could hear it in our bedroom. The apartment was very spacious and the kitchen was well stocked.

Only thing I didn’t like was that our bedroom was next to outside hallway, and people would bang the doors early in the hour waking us up. Also they need to repair or get a new sofa bed. It feels like you’re sleeping upside down needing many pillows and was very uncomfortable. We were staying at the Suite for 3 of us in room 908

Reykjavík Residence Apartment Hotel is one of those rare places that manages to feel both impeccably organized and completely unpretentious—a combination about as common as a sunny week in Iceland.

From the outside, it looks like a collection of handsome historic buildings. Inside, it reveals itself to be a masterclass in Scandinavian practicality. There is space to spread out, a kitchen to prepare breakfast, and enough thoughtful touches to make you suspect that someone involved in the design process had actually traveled before.

The location is so perfectly placed that Reykjavík seems to have arranged itself around the hotel as a courtesy to guests. Within minutes you can be admiring Hallgrímskirkja, browsing a bookstore, hunting down a cappuccino, or contemplating whether a country can survive economically if every cinnamon roll costs the equivalent of a small appliance.

Very Nice Apartment style hotel. Full Kitchen, Refrigerator, Dish Washer, Pots, Pans, Cooking equipment, toaster, microwave, hot water kettle, coffee maker, plates, dishes, etc. Dining table and chairs for 2, small outside deck, comfortable bed & pillows, good bathroom with a good shower! The place has several buildings spread out over a few blocks. Check in was a little tricky as GPS takes you to one of the resident buildings. Staff was very helpful and walked with me the few blocks to the reception. Kassandra at front desk was super helpful in getting me set up. She explained the parking situation for the city and explained the parking apps and best areas to park at what times. My stay was in the Tannery Building which was down a little alley to the entrance. Also In this alley was a nice wine bar Port9 and sitting area. Staff was great! They deliver a basket of goods each afternoon for the next morning (extra charge) and a bag of delicious fresh baked bread is hung on your door knob at 8am each morning. Nice waking up to fresh bread from the local bakery each day. I would absolutely stay here again!
Thank You

The fresh bread that was hung on our door at 8 am morning added to the already tasty breakfast. You could make sandwiches to take with you on your driving adventures! The staff was wonderful, they helped accommodate us when our flight was cancelled and there was uncertainty about if we needed to stay another night or more.
