Disappointing
Be aware this hotel is a collection of small downtown buildings with low staff overhead. The reception is in another building blocks away. Payment, check-in, and building/room key are automated using an app you have to download to your smartphone. There is no parking, no on-site staff, and no one to help with luggage. Despite the listing of an elevator as an amenity, there was no elevator in our building. Other features included poor sound insulation between rooms and a bathtub/shower a man of ordinary height can’t stand up in and a short person has difficulty getting into and out of. Our room did have a very compact kitchenette wall with small appliances, and L’Occitaine bath items. The extra cost breakfast included excellent fresh bread delivered to the door and a variety of other items placed in the refrigerator the previous day. Fruit was an apple. The description should more accurately convey the nature of this property and the limited staffing and assistance available. It should not claim amenities like an elevator if most of the buildings don’t have elevators.

The rooms and hotel were amazing. The only issue was the checkin. We decided to book an extra day of lodging so we had somewhere to go and rest when we arrived at 9am,,,after traveling all night. Upon our arrival a very argumentative young lady at the checkin desk told us we could check in because there was only an hour until we had to check out. We informed them that we booked the room for 4 nights. As it turns out, they had us down for 2 separate bookings, not 4 continuous nights. We understood the confusion and explained we had just traveled 18hr to get there. When we asked if there was anything we could do to rest or set our bags down, we were very told "no".....and it was our fault for not calling them weeks in advance to make sure the 2 bookings back to back under the same name would be linked together. The young woman at the counter continued to argue with us and blame us for the issue and then told us we couldn't even go to the room we had paid for.....because they "would have to clean it". After 40 mins of arguing with staff, they finally let us into a room for 1hr to rest before we were kicked out and then moved to another room hrs later.

The room itself was very nice but my room was on the ground floor right beside the entrance to a bar. People sat outside my window drinking and talking loudly until late into the night. I didn’t feel safe and was not able to use my outdoor space.

We have loved our stay. This is a beautiful property and located right in the middle of town. Some street noise but still very lovely and quiet at night. We were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable, spacious and charming it was. Definitely recommend. Love the coffee, tea, milk, and juice in the refrigerator. Definitely a wonderful touch.

I couldn't sleep because of the sound of footsteps upstairs from 5am and the knock on the door at 10:30pm while I was showering because of the water dripping from downstairs. I don't want to come here again.

Reykjavik for a night and then a smidge more
Wonderful stay and terrific customer service. Also, excellent ‘lobby’ with a shower and clean bathrooms if you need to check out early and have your flight later. Icelandic hot bath right around the corner and Cesar was super helpful. Thanks for creative apartments, the fresh sourdough, and happy and terrific customer service. We will be back as a one-night stay was not enough :) - Sonata Chaterji, Shayok, Saurabh

I didn’t understand this was several buildings separate from the reception. I would probably not have booked it as we have several people in our group of 8 with mobility issues. However, that would have been a mistake. The building was a short walk down the street and the staff helped the ones with issues and brought their luggage for them. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. They were wonderful. The apartment was spacious and clean. Had cereal and milk for my daughter in the morning. One street away from the Main Street for shopping and dining. We were all sad to only have one night there. I would highly recommend and I would stay there again if I ever get back to Reykjavík.

This was a wonderful base of operations for my family of 4 — spacious enough to accommodate two teenagers and yet cozy enough to bring us together as we began our Iceland adventure.
