Vintage Hotel

We stayed here for 3 nights in March. The apartments are one of the main streets in Reykjavik opposite the polar bear shop :) They are self service so you enter the main door with a code and then there is a keypad on the handle or your room door. Rooms super spacious lovely decor. Shower was also lovely with shower gel, shampoo conditioner etc provided which was top quality. There was also a coffee machine in the kitchen area which was a great addition. If you wanted extra pillows, towels or coffee pods then there is a help yourself cupboard in the hallway. Beds and pillows really comfy and the room was very clean when we arrived. Overall I would recommend these apartments to anyone visiting Reykjavik and if I was in the area again I would stay here again. Thanks for a great stay!

I spent a week here and as the name of the place implies, it felt more like I was staying in an apartment than a hotel. There isn’t a traditional front desk. You are emailed codes to gain access to the hotel and also to your room. The only staff you’ll see are the ones that clean the rooms. I was perfectly fine with this set-up, but if you are someone that relies on the front desk/hotel staff for assistance this might not be the place for you. So my flight into Reykjavik arrived early and i ended up getting to the hotel around 10am. My code to gain access to the building worked, but it didn’t work to get into my room. I figured maybe I was too early so i went downstairs to the sitting area and waited. I wasn’t sitting there long before one of the workers who was cleaning rooms saw me and asked my room number. I told her and she said my room was ready and that she would get my code activated now. Greatly appreciated this! The room was huge and had a kitchen and sitting area. I appreciated having a kitchen as it allowed me to buy groceries and make food on my own saving me money. The location is right in the center of Reykjavik near shops and restaurants. Overall i loved my time here and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.

I booked an apartment as a surprise for my partners birthday and was pretty disappointed. The apartment was ok, much smaller than expected. The kitchen lacked many essentials for preparing and cooking food which kind of defeats the object of having a kitchen. We had no iron or ironing board and despite requesting the use of one, we were ignored. Hairdryer didn’t work and was refused a late check out despite asking with plenty of notice, just got a flat no. Location was good but the lack of customer service and basic requirements means that I wouldn’t stay here again and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else either.

Safe, great for shopping, lots of dining options, very walk-able, lots of local culture, grocery store close. The proprietor was respectful, helpful and kind. Very clean and up to date rooms. Comfortable bed.
