We highly recommend the Residence Hotel! Our room was clean and nicely appointed. The hotel was centrally located, and the staff were warm and welcoming!
The location is perfect, walkable to all attractions and public transportation. Highly recommend the breakfast package if you are able to, it is worth it considering how much restaurants in Iceland cost.
Wonderful experience! Great location just steps from the main street for shopping, restaurants and bars. The apartment was spacious and very clean. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast baskets and fresh bread were awesome. We would definitely stay here again.
The hotel is right in the city centre within short walking distance to many shops, restaurants and supermarkets.
The place is well maintained and very clean. The kitchenette is convenient for a simple breakfast.
This is our 2nd time staying in this hotel. This time we stayed in another home location in Reykjavik. Any location you stay at is very central. You are right in the city center. Parking we quick and easy. The room was spacious, and clean. Check in was very quick and easy.
The residence hotel is conveniently located, being very close to the main shopping and dining areas and within walkable distance to major city attractions. The room is well maintained and clean.

We found the hotel to be exceptionally comfortable. The recently renovations to the historic buildings has been exceptionally well done: very modern amenities and furnishings and a really great repurposing of space for visitor accommodations. We booked here based on location in the center of downtown Reykjavík and close proximity to Laugarvagur. For some, the proximity of the studio room we were assigned might be too close, overlooking Laugarvagur with its great eating, drinking, shopping places, and night life The staff were all warm, friendly, and very helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.
The check in process at the reception building was smooth. The staff stored our bags until check in time. Free access to washer and dryer in reception building was ideal since we stayed for 7 days. Ideal location close to everything.
We enjoyed our junior suite, very practical having a bedroom with twin beds and sofa bed in main hall. Very spacious, great to have balcony! Their breakfast was excellent served promptly and delicious fresh bread from bakery. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying with them.
Location was amazing, central and in walking distance to everything. Check-in process was seamless. Received the access code earlier that day, downloaded the keyless app and got into our room early. Front desk was super helpful answering any questions we had. Room was spacious and we had a very long balcony for fresh air. Definitely recommend!
So close to downtown!!! We did park our rental 2-3 blocks away for cheaper parking but the apt itself was wonderful…..our 2 bedroom/1 bath had washer and dryer and the breakfast basket each day was lovely with fruit, meat/cheese and veggies. The fresh baked bread delivered each day was a treat as well! Highly recommended staying here!
Clean. large room. Staff was friendly, engaging, and very helpful with our questions. Location is right in the middle of the shopping area downtown and walkable to all of it.
The only downside (and it isn't the hotel's fault) is parking and driving everywhere in the area is horrible.
Perfect location in the heart of down-town Reykjavik. Full, but tiny, kitchen and a great breakfast delivered to your door every day. Even only two blocks from the Airport Flybus pickup for convenience to getting to and from the airport. Staff were very nice and accommodating - free luggage storage if you have to wait for check-in or check out before you're ready for your flight.
