We stayed for 4 nights in the studio apartment in Icelandic. Generally, the apartment has great value for money. It is spacious and contains more equipment than what we expected. The whole studio has only 1 radiator which is suggested to be set to 3/5 due to specific reasons - subjectively, I prefer a bit warmer accomodations or at least the flexibility to heat up/cool down.
Kitchen contains everything required - you can eat breakfast, lunch, cook food or tea, clean dishes or wash them in a dishwasher very easily. It also has a microwave. There's space for 4 people around the table.
The bed is very comfortable and the cabinet has a lot of space.
Living room part has a nice LG NanoCell TV and also can fit up to 4-5 people.
Bathroom is what we had a few problems with. First of all - it contains everything needed for a comfortable stay - shampoo, shower gel, regenerator, towels and nice warm water. It is also spacious. On the bad side - wall mounted towel dryer was broken so we couldn't dry our towels properly. Towel holder is a minor issue, but the shower seemed to have some sort of malfunction and it would keep having "hot - mild - almost cold" water temperature all the time. We have reported this so that it can be hopefully fixed. Also, the bathroom tends to be very wet after showering because the shower wall is not closed from all sides. We didn't hear any ventilation working so there was a lot of steam and also, there's no heating in the bathroom so it gets a bit cold.
Location is great for tourism because we were leaving the town with rent-a-car every day and the location makes it easy for you to leave/enter town without entering any traffic jams during rush hours.
I will return to this accomodation if I ever yome back to...
Read moreWhat a great place to stay in Reykjavik area! The price can't be beat and you get so much for what you pay! You get a whole apartment to yourself, which includes a fully functioning kitchen (so you can save money on food by cooking some yourself) and even laundry room available. The laundry room is on the 2nd floor of the building and is free, detergent is also supplied. The apartment is a small studio but is perfect for both short and long stays. It has everything you might need: kitchenware with pots, pans, coffee maker, cutting board, dishsoap, salt, pepper, cooking oil, sugar and even teabags; shampoo and conditioner are provided in the bathroom. Our stay was for 7 days and we're so happy with Icelandic Apartments we're going to only stay here next time we visit Reykjavik. We asked if we could check in early and were allowed to check in 2 hours in advance - thank you! There's a cafe 5 minutes away and Bonus grocery store across the street. Parking is free and ample. Very quiet, we could not hear neighbors at all. There's an elevator in the building in case you have heavy luggage. The view is beautiful of the lake and the mountains in the distance. The apartment maintains a comfortable warm temperature. As far as proximity goes, it only took us under 20 minutes to get to the apartment from Hallgrimskirkja church in downtown Reykjavik. The only way it could be better is if there were hooks for coats and keys in the small foye as you enter the apartment and maybe an air fryer in place of an oven, but that's just extra ideas. Thank you for a great stay to Kristina and everyone at...
