Quiet, warm apartment with fresh bread each morning

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 13, 2023via mobile
Stayed in this lovely apartment for five nights - what a delightful place, perfect for exploring Reykjavik and a few minutes' walk from the main street, tour bus stops and the harbour. Inside a converted historic building, it was warm, immaculately clean and comfortable - basics like coffee pods, milk and juice in the mini-kitchen were a nice touch, as were the L'Occitane products in the bathroom. We ordered the breakfast basket, which had a different selection of fruit, yoghurt, cheeses, etc. each day and freshly backed sourdough bread was delivered to the door in the morning - delicious! We couldn't believe how quiet it was and slept well every night. We were in 701 on the ground floor.
The staff at the main reception (a few minutes walk away) were friendly and attentive: it's fine to leave your cases there if you arrive before check-in, while you can do some exploring. We arranged our taxi from and back to the airport through them and the service (thought quite pricey by UK standards) was excellent.
I would heartily recommend Rejkjavik Residence Apartments as a base - we had a great time seeing waterfalls, glaciers, whales and jaw-dropping landscape, while feeling completely at home in this quiet, pretty and well-organised city.

Ideal suite for a family of 4 with 2 bathrooms. Smart check-in using mobile app made things easy. Coffee and hot chocolate pod machine, replenished orange juice, milk and cornflakes are nice touches. L'Occitane toiletries most impressive! Immaculate decor, fantastic showers. The location right in the centre was perfect.

Room tip: You have a kitchen so worth bringing easy to make food eg. noodles, pasta n sauce, biscuits. It is so expensive to eat out so think about having a meal out just once a day.

Booked this hotel thinking I was booking the white building in the pictures. Sadly, this wasn’t the case, but wasn’t informed of where I was staying until two hours before accessing the property. The whole thing is fine by email, I had to download an app to access the room. Never encountered another human, the whole time . Didn’t bother me too much as we didn’t need a concierge, but for some people I would imagine that was a little bit annoying. Turns out we were staying in a building in a courtyard which backed on to the port nine wine bar. This meant people standing outside our room, having a cigarette during the Fair weather during the night, luckily the bar is shut at 11 pm as people did tend to get quite rowdy. The room itself was great, very roomy, spotlessly clean. Nicely designed with everything we needed. Except a bread knife! Every day we were provided with a basket for breakfast, which consisted of fruit, yoghurt, a little bit of meat, plenty of cheese. And fresh bread, which we did have difficulty cutting as there wasn’t a knife. but plenty of food to set us up for the day ready to explore. We had hired a car, and downloaded the parking app, there are plenty of P2 parking spaces around the accommodation, and we never had much difficulty parking.

Room tip: Ask which of the many buildings the company owns you will be staying in before arrival, so you can plan your parking and travelling.

Dear Amanda C,

Thank you very much for your kind review. I am glad to hear that overall you had a great stay with us, but I would like to apologize that you where misinformed about the building that you would be staying in.

Our hotel is located in 7 different buildings, all within a short walking distance from each other. We never guarantee in which of the buildings our guests will be staying until the day of arrival. We also do have a reception open 24/7 located at Hverfisgata 60, where our guests can check in in person if they prefer a physical key. Reception is also happy to assist with anything our guests might need during their stay with us.

I hope you had a lovely time in Iceland, it was a pleasure having you here!

Warm regards,
Sigrún Pétursdóttir

Excellent two bed apartment . Clean , warm . Beds comfy , towels changes every day . Coffee milk juice etc provided . Instructions and keyless ( by phone app) app was excellent and meant no messing with reception and check in or out as apartments are in different buildings near main hotel . High spec and great price for 5 family -2Adults 3 teens .
Only bad feedback was shower door was too small and water ended up all over bathroom . It’s pet peev of mine as I like to shower with lots of water power etc .
Great location just off main shopping / restaurants street . Supermarket (bonus )and bakery ( sand holt ) 5 mins away for take away breakfast !

Room tip: Bring tea bags !
