Great property and wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the space and privacy of our family studio. The kitchen is well stocked for everything needed to make a meal. We were able to easily fry bacon for our homemade sandwiches plus the complimentary milk, juice, coffee and cornflake careal was an excellent accommodation. Location was also perfect for frequent visits around the city.

The main location is very convenient to the main shopping street and sights, the other location is a little bit out of the way, closer to the concert hall (Harpa). Given Reykjavik is very small it means an additional 5 minute walk to where things are happening, which is fine if you are not encountering arctic winds or pouring rains, both of which are frequent in October/ November.

New spacious facilities built to be self sufficient apartments in a series of buildings. A few minor issues to work out (only because they are new) but overall, a great stay. Worth noting that tours cannot pick up at the facility because of very local traffic restrictions.

Generally very pleased with our stay. Staff very, very accommodating. Free happy hour a pleasant surprise. Wish I could give it a 4.5 but not an option and not really a 5. First 20 steps are tough with luggage. Security door does not always close on its own. Only a stairway to the street. But overall - very good accommodations.

We rented the 2 BR apartment and it was in a fantastic location. It was clean and safe and quiet. My only complaint is that there are only 2 channels for TV. Other than that, I would definitely recommend and stay here again.
