Reykjavik Residence Hotel

Cons: I'm surprised that we got a room located in the basement of the building and the room is next to the street. There's a strong smell of mold in the room. Unfortunately, the hotel is fully booked so we can't change room and they offered a 10% discount. Pros: the room is very practical with a kitchen and everything you need to cook for a small meal on a trip. The bed mattress is comfortable. I also like the breakfast sourdough, which is freshly baked from the popular bakery in the city.

This hotel is clean and the rooms are very big but I didn’t like that the buildings are separated from the lobby and there are no amenities. It was very quiet though and close to many sites and shops

The property is historic, well maintained, and the staff are so great.

Beautiful rooms, great location

Centrally located, great facilities, excellent food basket each day. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Staff was really responsive and catered to all our needs. Family suite was spacious, clean and had all required amenities.

Very comfortable, large room. Very friendly, helpful staff. Hotel is in a perfect location in the middle of the city within a 15/20 minute walk of many highlights, restaurants and the harbor. The breakfast basket and daily sourdough bread were amazing.

The hotel has several buildings spread over a large area that makes it hard to know in advance how far things will be. An example is if you book pick up for tours or Flybus. There are three pick up locations close depending on where your room is. My review of the hotel would have been excellent except our room was in the Tannery right over the courtyard/entrance to the wine bar. It was noisy and it is the smoking area for the bar. You have to close the windows to keep the smoke out and it is then warm and stuffy. One night there was a large party in the courtyard and it was impossible to keep the smoke out even with everything closed. I would recommend requesting a room away from the wine bar when making a reservation.

Such a lovely little hotel right in the heart of downtown! We stayed in a suite which was extremely spacious, beautifully decorated and stocked with cereal/milk/juice/coffee for breakfast. We were only booked for 1 night but wish we could have stayed longer.

The people in charge were nice but the bathroom drains smelled horrible. The blackout curtains only worked in the rooms so whoever stays in the living room on the sofabed has no blackout option so it was hard to sleep. We ran out of toilet paper and it was not refilled so we had to go get our own. The other properties from The Residence Reykjavik looked much nicer than the one we got. Wished they would let you know which “house” you will end up in because I would not have picked that one.
