Nice hotel, room lovely. Clean and warm. We had some issues with getting access to our room which was quite frustrating after walking quite a distance with our luggage in the early hours of the morning. Staff could have been more helpful with this.

Not a hotel

Attractive room, accommodating service, everything was clean and nice—except it’s not a hotel, just a room rental (although it does have maid service and cold breakfast). There are no amenities here, and the reception desk is a full 5-min walk from our room. We had trouble with our key cards which became an ongoing issue. And because there were 3 of us (using foldout couch) there wasn’t anyplace to sit in the room. Now we’re in a proper hotel and what a difference. So, it just depends on what you want. We like the hotel experience with amenities and lounges to sit in. If you don’t care about that, this place is very nice.

Close to Town, perfect unit!

Amazing condo right downtown and quiet. Newly built or remodeled, very high end, but affordable. We loved the wine bar down the street. Excellent reception. They even held our luggage for four days while on a tour. Highly recommend.

Excellent concierge service. We arrived very early in the morning and were allowed to check into a different but available room without a fee!! A very easy walk to bus stop 6 and bus stop 14 to meet our tour buses and Fly Bus to the airport. Clean as a whistle with juice, milk, coffee pods, and cereal available. Centrally located to walk to all the major attractions in the city with the exception of the Perlin Museum. Highly recommend.

Great location near to main shopping street but quiet. Well equipped and proportioned. We had the breakfast which was delivered and placed in the fridge the afternoon before then fresh sourdough bread delivered about 8am in the morning enough for breakfast and lunch!

Very friendly staff and helpful with suggestions for things to do in and outside town. Rooms are quite nice with comfortable mattresses wonderful bathrooms with high pressure hot water available. The fact that the rooms are right in the middle of the downtown area made for easy access to everything. Three downsides. 1. The buildings for the rooms are scattered around about a km radius from the main city center. But, the lobby is also in a completely different location. Even though I had stayed previously and knew this situation, google maps will lead you astray by taking you to one of the buildings away from the check in lobby and there isn't a good spot to "pull over" and try to figure it out as the downtown parking is awful. 2. Their little "kitchen's" are very minimalistic. No freezer section of their small refrigerators and no oven. We made the mistake of buying some food before arriving that required an oven and had to let that food go to waste. 3. Parking is REALLY bad. The first night, I had to park the car nearly .5 km away from where we were staying. Later, I learned when and where to park that would get us within 100 m. Fortunately, there is an app called "Parka" which will allow you to deal with the tolls easily.

The location cannot be beat walking distance to everything food groceries tourist info etc We did get the top floor room which was roomy however the stairs are VERY narrow and steep if you are not able bodied or very strong ask what floor your room is because I don’t think people older then us (we are in our late 40s) could manage the stairs with their luggage The convenience of the room key app was amazing and simple to use The room was spacious warm and comfortable would definitely stay again

What I noticed upon arriving to this hotel was the warmth and friendliness of the staffs there. It was an amazing start to a great trip and I felt relieved to know I was in good hands! Not only did the receptionist offer to check us in early so we could get situated, but this hotel’s overall serivce I received while staying here was phenomenal. It is definitely one of those hotels you’ll want to come back to and stay at for your trips or will recommend to your community! Thank you Reykjavík Residence Hotel for making our trip a successful one.

One hotel name, many locations

The hotel has many properties within walking distances. Sometimes two rooms booked together may be accommodated in separate properties. I was lucky that my children and I , though we had separate rooms, were 4 floors apart , in the same building
