Old Charm Apartments — Hotel in Reykjavik

Stayed in Old Charm as a family (myself, wife and three kids). I would love to give this 5 stars but half to take a star off because of the noise from other apartments. ||First up, the location is excellent. Right in the main drag for tourists but offset enough not to be too busy. Walking distance from most things including tourist shops, cathedral, supermarkets etc. ||We arrived early (before midday) and the host was already aware and allowed us and our luggage in early which was really very much appreciated. We were expecting to have to kill some time until check in, maybe getting lunch but he was ready and welcoming. 5 star service. ||The apartment itself it warm, really well equipped and more than adequate for a family of 5 for a few days. 3 bedrooms, one bathroom and a decent sitting room and kitchen. We self catered for some of our time and it was easy to do in this apartment. ||The only downside was that the noise from the upstairs apartment comes right through the ceiling. Our early arrival meant we needed an afternoon nap to recover but the toddlers staying upstairs had other ideas, running marathons along their own apartment and we heard every thud. We also had to hear the guests check out at 6am another morning when we were hoping to get a lie in. It was a significant enough issue to warrant a star less on the review but if you’re not too bothered by this then consider this a 5...

Review is of Upper Apartment 55 Hverfisgata.

The apartment is conveniently located 5 minutes walk from. Hallgrimskirkja and the main shopping streets. There is free parking behind the apartment which means that you can leave your car and explore Reykjavik on foot. Nothing is too far away.

Our apartment had three bedrooms, a cozy living room, with enough comfy chairs for everyone, and a kitchen diner.

The place was beautifully clean and fresh. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with cooker, microwave, fridge and freezer (no dishwasher or washing machine though there is a drying rack in the bathroom). They provided washing up liquid, cloths and sponges as well as cooking essentials like salt, pepper and olive oil that are essential but only required in small quantities.

Definitely highly...

Very pleasant, clean, comfortable and quality location. Excellent Value. The little apartment was more than we expected. We used the two bedrooms and did not need the pull out in the living room. The kitchen was well appointed with a fridge, coffee make, ect. I it even had a cute table made from an old door-not junk,-it was nice. The beds were comfortable and the place very clean as it was a no shoes place. It was walking distance to nice restaurants and tourist center unless you wanted to go all the way around to the port. We felt is was a nice part of town. We were able to park right out back. We will recommend to our friends who may follow our itinerary. Our only issue was that this unit is on the second floor and the stairs are a bit steep, but...
