ALVA Apartments Hallveigarstigur

Highly recommend. I enjoyed my time at this property. It was well suited for 2 adults and 2 small children. It was right around the corner from the Main Street in downtown Iceland. Easy to walk to shops, restaurants and very centrally located to get to different activities in a short amount of time. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Lamps where broken and we asked them to be changed but no response, we could not manage the AC and we asked for help but no response It never where less than 26 degree in the apartment Bad smell in the bathroom only 2 red wine glasses but we where 4 people .. Nice planned apartment but not well kept and bad support from management

This property is in a perfect location. You can walk all over Reykjavík. However, there is a bar nearby and it is VERY loud at night on the weekend, so bring ear plugs for sleeping. The room was clean and generally well supplied. This apartment is not stroller friendly. There is no space for parking it and there are stairs to get to the main area of the room. There isn’t luggage storage so you’ll have to pay more to store luggage at a nearby kiosk if you arrive early or depart late (though we were able to check in early). Our room was quite cold at night even with the heat on and I didn’t know why until the morning we checked out. There are some windows up high that were open. Those should have been closed when guests check in because it is hard to notice and I’m not sure how I even would have closed them.

Rented a penthouse with hot tub. Hot tub was broken and non functioning. Never notified about this before stay. Received poor communication when reached out to property management about the issue. Never resolved.

Really nice room, both bed and pullout sofa were very comfortable, and the location was perfect. I had emailed ahead about parking and got a prompt and detailed response. Also received detailed entry instructions so that was smooth and very easy!

ALVA is nice penthouse apartment. It gave a nice first impression. Size was good, looks relatively clean. View is nice. But the whole experience started to become just average. Firstly, apartment wasn't as clean as it looks, there was a jacket in the closet that wasnt cleared, probably left by the previous guest. All the utensils are still left in the dishwasher. It was washed but wasnt cleared. it was a full rack so we have to replace everything back before we can actually use it. There were gadgets plugged in so you dont know if you can remove it or leave it but it was in the way. Secondly, some things were just lacking. There wasn't a place or rack to put the toiletries in the bath area, so you either had to put it on the floor or wet the toilet area by coming out to get it from the toilet or vanity top. Although there is a big baking oven, but there isn't a microwave oven for you to make small meals. The entire place just didn't feel like it was clean and I'm not someone who is that particular. Thirdly, there isn't any instructions or guide on how to operate the appliances and things around the place. i had to figure out almost everything on my own. I had difficulty operating the induction stove. The washing machine and dryer panel was in Icelandic, i had to google translate to find out every function. There was only heating. no air-conditioning or Fan Fourthly, the service support is terrible. I can go on, but I'm limited to 1,500 characters for this review

Great location. Close to EVERYTHING downtown. Be aware that the parking fees around the apartments are P1... the most expensive in Reykjavik. Park a couple of blocks to the south for P2, or leave your car in a parkade a few blocks north to save a BUNCH of money - dowload the "Parka" app before arriving to find where the closest parking is and make sure you're paid up. Room was comfortable, very thankful for blackout curtains! Guest laundry was a blessing after being on the road for over a week. Some downsides though. Building looks like it's undergoing renovations. When we checked in, there was still garbage in the garbage cans and there were crumbs in the cutlery tray. Other than that, was a nice place to stay in the heart of Downtown Reykjavik.

Toppenboende med närhet till allt. Rent och snyggt och bekväma sängar.

Hadde ikkje fått kode til inngangsdør ved ankomst men etter telefon med kundesenter løste det seg. Sentral beliggenhet, rent og pent. Veldig fornøyd med oppholdet.

Perfect stay in the middle of the city and close to rainbow street, pubs, restaurants etc
