Guest Reviews
- Gerald (10/5): -
- Russell (8/5): Good - Warm, clean and spacious The entrance wasn’t exactly easy access
- Deborah (8/5): Très bien - La localisation, en plein cœur de reykjavik.
Bien équipée, place de parking.
Très bien pour 4 adultes Manque de lumière dans la cuisine.
- TANG (10/5): -
- Hetty (8/5): Goede locatie - Prima locatie met winkelstraat om de hoek, goede bedden in appartement. Kastruimte in slaapkamers, geen gezellig zitje in de kamer, uitzicht vanuit de keuken op oud schuurtje en vuilniszakken.
- Mark (10/5): Great location and comfortable beds. - Off street parking, and a really good location. Really easy to walk everywhere.
- Ilario (9/5): Bella casa d’epoca in pieno centro - Posizione centralissima, casa d’epoca estremamente confortevole, bagno molto grande e cucina attrezzata. Inoltre è possibile usufruire del parcheggio interno. Nulla da segnalare
- EMMA (9/5): Characterful apartment in central location - Very central location- easy walking distance to shops/restaurants/ cathedral and down to the sea
Designated free parking really helpful
Characterful apartment
Communicative and helpful hosts Nothing to dislike, but note:
- steep and narrow stairs to upper apartment ( however there is a bannister)
- sloping ceilings in the main bedroom.
- Supervise small children, as it would be easy for them to fall down the stairs.
- Kara (10/5): Comfortable apartment in a perfect central location - We were in the upstairs apartment, which was very comfortable and cozy. We had all we needed and were just steps away from the main shopping/commercial street as well as a bus station that was handy when I wanted to go pick up our rental car. It was so convenient to be able to explorer the city and still pop back into the apartment quickly if we needed anything. No complaints at all.
- WEI-CHENG (9/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): Fantastische locatie! - Fantastische locatie midden in het centrum van Reykjavik met gratis parkeerplaats. Wij sliepen er maar 1 nacht maar we hebben genoten van de ruime slaapkamers en de goede bedden. Douche was krachtig (en nodig met ons vertrek om 04:30 😬) en we zouden het zo weer boeken! De vloeren van het huis kraken een beetje, maar dit hoort bij de charme van dit huis.
- Bradley (9/5): I enjoyed the space and location. I would stay again! - Best location and nice hosts. The shower was awesome as well as the host were informative on the area. The living areas could use some more lighting, it's dark in the living/kitchen areas.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Great stay, we would definitely stay again - Location was perfect. Arni was very informative and quick to answer any questions. It was noisy on Saturday night, but there were ear plugs provided!
- barney (9/5): -

- Slawomir (10/5): -
- Torgeir (9/5): Perfekt opphold i Reykjavik - Sentralt, moderne og koselig hus. Ingen sentrale mangler for et bra opphold. Gode senger. Ingenting.
- joseph (10/5): -
- VALENTINA (10/5): - Appartamento carinissimo nel cuore della città: molto accogliente, pulito, e con possibilità di parcheggio. Lo consiglio assolutamente! Nulla, tutto perfetto!
- Jan (10/5): -
- Ong (9/5): I am particularly satisfied with the prompt and helpful support provided by the person in charge. - Convenient. Location is near to many restaurants, gift shops and grocery stores. Nil

- Ellen (5/5): -
- Denise (8/5): - Location was excellent
- Makenna (10/5): - The apartment was big, it was centrally located, there was parking, everything was walkable from the location, the hosts were wonderful, and the apartment was stocked with anything you may need for cooking, cleaning, etc!
- PAOLO (9/5): -
- svein (9/5): God kommunikasjon i forkant og bra service - Sentralt, renhold og parkering Ingenting

- adlina (9/5): - The apartment was spacious and comfortable in a central area. there is parking area behind the house narrow stairs leading up to the apartment. the main door a bit difficult to open.
- Elisabeth Maria (10/5): - Perfecte locatie, netjes en ruim genoeg, fijne faciliteiten, behulpzaam personeel wanneer je ze nodig hebt
- Robert (8/5): Nice location in downtown Reykjavik with parking - It was a great downtown location in Reykjavik with parking which was helpful. It had most of the major amenities that we needed for our stay. Most of the major items in downtown were walking distance which was helpful for family to explore. The walking of the people on the 2nd floor could be heard through the ceiling unfortunately.

- Taksidon (10/5): Superb and The best - This accommodation is in a great location, within walking distance of popular tourist attractions.
Lovely and cozy house.
Nice staff and good help for me.
- Konstantina (10/5): -
- Jenny (8/5): Praktiskt boende nära det mesta i Reykjavik - Läget var centralt och nära det finaste området i stan, det var rent och snyggt, jättesköna sängar och nästan allt som behövdes fanns. Tv:n hade fel fjärrkontroll så det gick inte att koppla den till en dator för att se på film. Vi saknade också att det inte fanns diskmaskin.
- Holly (10/5): Perfect for our 1 night in Reykjavik! - Perfect location.
- carryon_only (10/5): - Excellent location, clean, easy parking - highly rcommend
- nanthicha (10/5): -
- Denise (9/5): - Great location and warm. Everything was in walking distance Stairs going up were a bit too steep and exposed. Not great for older people or someone with mobility issues. A barrier at the top would be handy.
Would have liked the TV to have some better stations like Netflix etc
- Paul (8/5): Excellent for a short stay visit to the city. - Location was good for walking access to city centre, restaurants and shops. We were able to park off the road behind the apartment but parking for a second car (for the other apartment) would have been tricky, so we were lucky there was no other car there.
Very clean and well resourced. The staircase up to our apartment was extremely steep with narrow steps so needed care. At the top, there was nothing to prevent falling from the exposed side - not a problem for adults, although we did put up a makeshift barrier for the night when visiting bathroom in the dark - but children would need careful supervision.
- pacodelachesnaye (8/5): -
- Ren (9/5): Great location, perfect for a family of 5, and hosts took care of us! - Location was amazing and the hosts were super responsive and helpful.
- H (9/5): -
- Terzidis (10/5): - Everything was perfect! N/A
- Andrea (10/5): I would highly recommend this place! - Apartments were so cute and really nicely kept. The location was fantastic to access so much of Reykjavík.
- Shih Ying (10/5): -
- natasha (10/5): -
- Martin-Johann (9/5): - Schön, sauber und urig mitten in der Stadt Wir hatten die Wohnung unterm Dach, die Treppe ist sehr steil
- Matthew (8/5): Good, comfortable accommodation in a great location. - Comfortable accommodation in a great location Kitchen is poorly lit. Better lighting would have made it easier to prepare our meals.
- ARGYRI (9/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Lovely cosy warm apartment - Warm . Comfortable beds. Nothing
- LISA (10/5): i would stay there again - it was perfect for location, three bedrooms and the house was furnished delightfully. everything was good
- Deborah (9/5): Great place. Would stay there again! - Hosts would do well, especially when renting to international guests, to include images to guide guests in using the particular lock box in use at the site. I had to call the host and figure out how to expose the keypad for use. The apartment itself was lovely, clean, comfortable and well-located. The parking space was a bit difficult to use and narrow, requiring backing out into traffic without being able to see oncoming traffic. Only the parking space was a bit difficult to use. Not a reflection on the apartment, jusr what space was available.
- Sandy (9/5): I would love to stay here again the next time I visit Reykjavik! - Good size, great location, adequate heating, free parking. If I really have to write something, the stairs could be a bit too steep, may not be too suitable for elderly.
- Svitlana (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Old Charm! Everything was perfect — clean, cozy, and very comfortable. We truly felt at home from the moment we arrived.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the place had its own special charm. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy our time.
Thank you so much for your hospitality — we leave with lovely memories and would definitely love to come back again!
- Martin (9/5): -
- beril (6/5): - location and there is a free car parking For an apartment for six people, there is only one toilet, which is very small and quite cold. The kitchen is also very small and does not have a dishwasher.
The house is two-story, and the upper floor is also rented out. However, the walls have very poor sound insulation—you can even hear conversations from upstairs, and when someone walks on the upper floor, the lower floor actually shakes.
- Carolien (9/5): - De ruimte, goede bedden, hele fijne sfeer Niets
- MELANIE (10/5): Invitiing and cosy atmosphere, excellent location. - Quaint with a rustic feel yet facilities were modern. The location was perfect Nothing
- Ravi (8/5): - Very central, comfortable apartment
- SZU-MIN (9/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): Spacious and comfortable - Excellent location, Great apartment, very spacious and comfortable. Easy to park, Lovely hosts very responsive good shower and comfortable beds. Full kitchen. Stairs up to the apartment quite steep but only one flight.
- Mandi (10/5): - The location was great, provided slippers were a nice touch, everything was clean and well maintained! Nothing!
- Marina (9/5): Wir haben uns in der sehr sauberen Wohnung wohlgefühlt. Sie hatte alles, was man braucht. - Das Appartement war sehr zentral in Reykjavik gelegen. Die Zimmer waren großzügig geschnitten. Das Bad war auch sehr geräumig. Es gab kein Wohnzimmer und die Essecke befand sich auf dem Gang. Es gab keine Spülmaschine.
- Maria (10/5): - Facilidad para hacer el check-in y aparcar justo en la puerta. Ademas de estar en una localizacion perfecta, es un espacio muy cuidado con mucho "Charm" valga la redundancia :)
- Feng (10/5): - 很适合4个人住,两个卧室还有个客厅 很棒 地理位置也很优秀 出门逛街就过个马路
- Feng (10/5): -
- VİLDAN (9/5): - Konumu çok iyiydi. Eğer evde yemek yapmayı düşünürseniz her sey var diyebilirim. Isınma ile ilgili bir sorun yoktu ev sıcaktı. Eski ama tatlı bir ev.
- Miroslav (9/5): -
- Lucas (10/5): -
- Veronica (9/5): Fully recommend this property! It was in an amazing location and just right for our stay. - Close to everything! Amazing beds and had just enough to enjoy a few meals at the house to save some money. Only downside was a very small corner shower.
- Jayne (8/5): Excellent location, spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. - The location of the apartment was excellent , was near all restaurant bars shops all within 2minutes walking distance. The hosts were informative and accessible for any questions. The apartment even though was basic had everything you needed and was spotless. The host even came and provided clean towels and cleaned . Could have had an extra pillow as only had 1 each.
- Niels (10/5): Great location to stay in Reykjavik. Yes close to a street so you will hear some noise but nothing for to worry about! - Great location, Nice house , perfect bede and an amazing shower! All good!
- jennifer (8/5): - The location was excellent to explore.on foot as well as in the car. There was a parking space available. The beds were really comfortable and the shower was great. It was clean and cosy. The interior lighting was a little dark in the kitchen.
- Suet Fong (9/5): - 地點優越,很多景點都在附近,步行可以到達。 沒有
- Marisa (9/5): -
- Maria (9/5): - Que es una casita antigua pero muy bien reformada en pleno centro. Algo ruidosa al estar a pie de calle con antiguas ventanas
- Austin (9/5): - Such a nice location to the main shopping and restaurants downtown! Walked past it multiple times even before we stayed there! Host had slippers to wear in the house due to the snow on the floor and that was a nice touch! Beds were very comfy!
- Nandakumar (8/5): - Central location
- J (10/5): -
- Brice (9/5): Great place to stay, great host(s) - they were super pleasant to interact with, I highly recommend! - Excellent location, a block away from the main shopping district and minutes from everything else in Reykjavic. Parking behind the apartment made it even more worthwhile since we rented a car to travel around. Was very effective for a family of 6! Bonus points for being super warm in the middle of the Icelandic winter. We were in the downstairs apartment, which created some issues with noise coming from the upstairs apartment (the stairs to the upstairs apartment go over the bathroom). There's also only 1 bathroom, which can be tricky.
- Petra (9/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): Perfect apartment, we would definitely return - Fantastic ground floor apartment, it had everything we needed for a brilliant stay. Lovely and cosy, yet not fussy, the apartment was so welcoming, and the provided slippers were a big bonus for walking on the gorgeous wooden floors. Don’t worry about it being chilly - it was so warm in all the rooms, perfect when it’s cold outside. The beds were so comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. The location couldn’t be better, handy for shops, cafes, attractions and waterfront. Even though the rooms were large, there was no room for any sofas, so we all had to gather around the dining table on the evening. However this had the advantage of us playing games and puzzles, so not all bad.
A Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen diner would be useful as both bathrooms lead off, so you could hear people using the toilet!
- Lionel et marie (8/5): -
- FANG (10/5): - 位置真的非常好,离教堂彩虹街超市餐厅都很近。房东太太非常nice。我们钥匙落在屋子里,时间很晚了还来帮我们开门。回复的一直很及时。市里不好停车,楼下有私人停车位真的很方便。
- Jing Jung (10/5): -
- MINGI (10/5): - 레이캬비크의 메인로드와 가까워서 너무 좋았습니다. 위치가 정말 좋아요. 숙소도 깔끔하고 무엇보다 전용 주차 구역이 있는 것이 너무 좋았습니다.
- Ospina Corredor (10/5): -
- YANQING (10/5): 舒适方便 - 位置优越,步行可以到达市中心,离大教堂几分钟路程。附近有一个小猪超市,货物齐全,很方便。有一个网红面包店就在公寓附近,面包很好吃。带一个私人车佳位,对于自驾游来说是一个福利。房东很热情,介绍详细。 房间灯光不够明亮
- Louise (10/5): Great stay in the heart of Reykjavík! - The location was fantastic, and the apartment itself was clean and had everything we needed for our visit. Everything was very clear in terms of check in/check out processes and the host was very helpful sharing tips on where to go etc.
- John (8/5): Aanrader! - Mooie locatie dichtbij het centrum Af en toe lawaai van feestgangers
- Matt (10/5): -

- Alessandra (10/5): -
- Kerry (10/5): The perfect accommodation and location! - We loved staying at the Old Charm Reykjavik Apartment. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was also the perfect location for us.
Steinunn provided all the information needed to easily locate and access the apartment, and also checked in on us during our stay, to make sure we were ok.
If I have the chance to return to Iceland, I will definitely stay here again. We even saw the northern lights from the balcony!
