Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel is praised for its fantastic location, close to Rainbow Street, shops, restaurants, and bus stops 6 and 14, making it easy to explore the city. Guests commonly enjoy the comfortable and well-equipped apartments, some featuring separate living rooms and kitchens with everything from dishes to modern appliances; some studios are located in buildings without elevators. A highlight for many is the breakfast basket with fresh bread delivered daily, sometimes even including L'Occitane toiletries.

Fantastic City Center Stay!

clean roomkitchen facilitiescentral locationstuffy room
The studio had excellent kitchen facilities (so convenient!), and it was very clean upon arrival. Complimentary milk and juice were a nice touch. The location is great. I walked everywhere in the city and easily accessed excursion bus stops.
The room got stuffy quickly. When the window was open, marijuana smoke came in (not ideal for a family-friendly spot).

a romantic getaway

warm receptionearly check-inquick preparationpleasant time
we arrived quite early. the reception was so warm, even before our check-in time! they promised to prepare our room quickly. we explored a bit and soon received a message that our room was ready. this allowed us to rest and enjoy our time.
there was some street noise early in the morning, it was a slight disturbance, but the overall experience made up for it! we are very idealistic people and street noises can be off putting.
