This property was in the heart of Reykjavik. Easy process to check in and set up transportation from the airport to the property. Allowed us to keep our luggage in a luggage area after we checked out but still had time to enjoy the city. Comfortable bed, felt safe and extra towels provided as needed. The only criticism I would give was the shower curtain seemed to have mold at the bottom of it- as it never fully dried. We would definitely recommend this property if staying in Reykjavik Iceland!

Listing was very deceptive. Said there was laundry but the laundry is pay laundry and it’s a laundromat a block and a half away.

Additionally essential can adore your hit with a sewage smell. Itself is very very noisy and the blackout curtain has spaces and leaves much light still coming in.

Good news: Right in the heart of everything. Bad news: The heart stays up until 4AM. The location was fantastic in the daytime; right next to a great bakery and walking distance to dining, shopping, transportation and everything. But for people looking to sleep on a Friday or Saturday night after midnight, be wary. This is in the party area and a somewhat busy road. This was exacerbated by us being on the 1st floor with the sidewalk and street immediately outside our window (which due to the temperature Iceland hotels keep their rooms, had to remain open). Very loud until 4AM. The upper floors were probably a little better but bring ear plugs.

Good studio for two adults and teen. Well equipped and excellent location. Only negative was the big windows out to the yard which meant there was no privacy when other neighbours were coming and going or smoking out there, unless we had blinds down which meant it was very dark.

Absolutely. Here’s a balanced Expedia-style review that keeps the good stuff strong but honestly mentions the musty smell and bed comfort:

Great Reykjavík location with lots of space

We really enjoyed our stay at Rey Apartments. The location was excellent and within easy walking distance of Hallgrímskirkja Church, Rainbow Street, shops, restaurants, and a very cute secondhand shop right across the street. Communication with the manager was great. They let us drop our bags early, helped with check-in, and changed the gate codes for us, which we really appreciated.

We stayed in room 1107, and it was huge. It was also nice that there were no stairs to get into the room. The kitchenette was lovely and made it easy to prepare some food during our stay. The blackout curtains were excellent, which was helpful in Reykjavík’s long daylight hours.

One helpful tip: there are two free parking spots across from the entrance gate, slightly down to the left near the blue building. If they are open, ask the owner about using them because parking nearby can be expensive.

The only downsides were that the room had a musty/mildew smell when we first arrived, though it improved during our stay. The king bed was not very comfortable, and one of the sofas worked for our daughter to sleep on but was pretty hard. There are also a couple of step-downs/level changes in the floor that you need to watch for.

Overall, we were happy with our stay. The space, location, communication, kitchenette, and

I unfortunately had a pretty uncomfortable experience. The location is good and very walkable, and the unit itself was generally clean. The beds seemed clean and the space was not messy, so I will give credit for that. However, the security situation made me feel really uneasy. When I first arrived, I accidentally went to the wrong unit. The door code I had been given opened that unit, so I assumed it was the correct one. Someone inside then told me I was actually next door. When I went to the correct unit, the same code also opened my door. That made me feel very unsafe because it gave me the impression that the same code may be used for multiple units, meaning other people could potentially access someone else’s room. On top of that, while someone was helping me find my unit, one of the staff said my door code out loud while other people were nearby, which felt careless and uncomfortable. The other major issue was the smell. As soon as I walked into the unit, there was a very AWFUL sewer smell. It was especially bad in the bathroom, but it spread throughout the whole unit. I had to keep the window open the entire time I was there because the smell was so strong. It made the stay really unpleasant, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. Overall, the location was convenient and the room was not necessarily dirty, but between the security concerns and the horrible sewer smell, I would not stay here again. It made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable as a solo traveler.

The property is in a great location, and overall we enjoyed our stay. The shower could use an update, though. We stayed on the second floor and could hear every group coming into the building because the heavy entrance doors slammed shut each time. I understand the doors need to be heavy due to the weather, but the noise was noticeable, especially at night.
We parked at P3 location, which is only a few blocks away, for lower parking charge. We only made hot water for coffee and tea. Overall is good since it is in the middle of the city.

It was a studio apartment with one double bed and 2 sofa beds that converted into 2 double beds. All towels and bedding were provided and you set up the sofa beds yourself. The beds and pillows were nice and comfortable. There was a kitchenette equipped with pots and pans, dishes and cutlery. A small table with chairs was also in the apartment. The washroom was on the smaller side with only a shower area. The shower curtain was dirty on the bottom was not very effective in keeping water inside and the water constantly dripped out onto the surrounding floor.

The hotel was well situated and walking distance to major attractions in Reykjavik. It was just a few blocks away from restaurants and bakeries. Bonus and Kronan supermarkets were a few minutes walk from the hotel and great places to pick up snacks and groceries.

The only con was that the room was not very sound proof. The windows were old with wood trim. They did not shut very tightly and all the traffic and sidewalk noises came through. Our room was also next to the stairs (there are no elevators in the hotel) and we can hear people going up and down the stairs. If you are a light sleeper, this hotel may not be for you.

The place is located very close to the city center, which makes sightseeing very easy. There's not enough parking space for all visitors, so we had to figure out something in the paid parking zones, of which there are plenty around.
The biggest problems were the shower curtains and the shower ventilation. The curtains stink, and the ventilation made a really loud and obnoxious, high-pitched whining noise whenever it was on.
The hosts accidentally directed us to the wrong apartment, but luckily they are all nearby, and the hosts are easy to reach by phone.

Nice apartment, good standard. A little bit dark with poor lightning, few windows all with frosted glass. Very central location in the middle of the city. The biggest/only problem was the noise. The noise from the city is to be expected, but the apartment was very poorly soundproofed so the was noise especially from doors closing but also talking , showering and other noises from other apartments…There was also drilling in the concret-walls early Maundy Thursday… if you want to get to bed early and sleep long in the morning it is not the right place… Otherwise it is 100%… quite difficult to park nearby because of only 3 hours. About 15-20 minutes to walk for parking open 24/7

The location was great and the space for the studio was really nice. The bathroom was pretty small but clean. The small kitchen was great and had all the tools you'll need to put together a quick breakfast and dinner. The room was a little dark and could benefit from some brighter lighting. There are just two parking spots that are first come first serve. We were lucky enough to get a spot right when we were checking in and never moved the car during our two night stay which was so helpful! The only issue we had was with the wifi - it went out a couple of times during our stay and then twice we had trouble getting into the apartment I'm guessing because of connection issues. But the staff arrived quickly to help us get in.

Apartment was wonderful, amazing location! Super clean and comfortable, staff was friendly. I’d prefer to give 4.5 stars but that isn’t available.

Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was a few minor details. Seeing as it is an apartment with a kitchenette and kitchenware, it would have been great to have salt and pepper and cooking oil on hand as well, instead we had to purchase our own for a short stay which is not ideal. Secondly, when I first arrived I asked if there was parking available somewhere or if it was only paid street parking; I was told there was only paid street parking, I later saw there was 2 spots that indicated parking for “Rey Apartments”. After speaking to another front desk person the next day they said that yes, we could park there and would not have to pay. Finally, another issue came up where our wifi went down on the second day as well as the light in the corridor leading to our apartment, I informed someone at front desk and they said they would look into it and see what was happening when the night shift arrived. The wifi and light was still not working the next morning and when I went back, the morning person was not aware of any issue but said they would call someone to fix it today. Thankfully the issue was resolved when we returned later that day. I think a little better communication between staff could have helped.

Honestly, those were minor things and everything else was perfect. I would stay here again and highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Rey Apartments in Reyjavik. Our room was fantastic and we loved having a kitchenette and lounge to use in the mornings and evening. The location was fantastic and easily walkable to the main areas of town. The apartment was clean and check in was super easy. We'd definitely stay with you again!

Quick stop

We needed a one night stay for 5 before heading home the next day. This apartment did the trick. The only thing I would suggest is better communication at check-in. I thought it would be a key code vs having to return to the hotel to get the key… also the fob vs a key code is a bit tough with several people. One person needed to have the fob with them to let anyone in… a code would have allowed more freedom to enter.

The property is very centrally located for walking about the down town area. It was clean and very livable with a kitchenette and a separate lounge area which was great as we were there for five days.
It is a bit noisy at night but what would you expect being in the center of the town.
Lots of restaurants near by, out favourite were the Thai restaurant just up the road and a great Icelandic restaurant a short five minute walk called Islenski Barinn. We ate at both of them a couple of time.
For those traveling for a while, there is a pay laundromat just a couple of minutes walk which was great and payment is by card which made things easy.
The only thing we didn’t like to start with is that the apartment is painted in dark colors but we got use to it.
Also you need to know that the reception is about a couple of hundred meters fro the apartment and they are 24 hour reception and they will keep your bags in a lock up if you need that service.
They also have a restaurant at the main reception for breakfast or dinner, although we did not take up that service.

Room was quite far into building. Up a few stairs, down a hall, up a few more stairs, down the hall, etc, then up full flight and down the hall. Hard with luggage. Neighborhood was great! Bed comfortable. Would stay again.

The property also arranged transportation to and from the airport.
Thank you to everyone! We hope to be back in Iceland soon!

I called and spoke to Gunnar at the property, he was able to confirm a room available and get me checked in on arrival. The room was clean, and exactly as described. The location was perfect able to walk to many Reykjavik sites, unlimited dink g and entertainment options, pubs, restaurants, music, shopping.

Nice apartments ideally located

The stay was nice overall although a few minor things might need some improvements. For example the main entrance door is difficult to operate. It is very cold near the windows in the kitchen and there are no coffee machine.
Even for a kid, sleeping on the sofa bed is terrible to sleep in.
