"The apartment was in a nice area not too far from downtown. 4 bedrooms with nice beds and a decent living space/kitchen. Kitchen was well appointed and had a nespresso machine (only 6 pods - there were 8 of us). The microwave is way up over the fridge so good we had some tall people. We were there one night (coming off a cruise) which was Culture Night. Expected high price but it was pricey."

Alda Hotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! If you like shopping, visiting the big church, close to bus stop #9. The old book store is right up the street with great free live music every night. A definite win."
