Vatnajökull National Park

The hotel was very comfortable and we enjoyed the stay. The beds were very comfortable. We were able to walk around easily and safely. Catching a bus for our tour was also super easy. There is a great food hall down the street for a quick yummy meal. I do wish the curtains/blinds were better blackout since it is light here so much of the day. Also a safe would have been nice to have. Biggest complaint was about communication. I had emailed before our stay about early check in which was able to happen and I received emails very quickly. Once we checked in and asked a few more questions, it was radio silence! I’m still waiting for a response to 2 emails and a WhatsApp chat. You need to be more responsive if there is gin g to be no reception desk. I was not asking difficult questions…just about pillows and storing luggage.

Staff friendly. Rooms clean. Decoration is strange

My partner and I spent a month traveling through Europe, staying in all kinds of places, and I can honestly say that Reykjavik Residence Hotel was our favorite. The apartment we stayed in was excellent—comfortable, quiet, and spotless. It felt practically brand new and was kept in great condition throughout our visit. The location couldn’t have been better—right in the heart of things, with easy access to shops, restaurants, pubs, and the main tourist center. The property felt very safe and had a number of thoughtful amenities, including an environmentally conscious approach that we appreciated. The staff were helpful and kind—Sebastian made check-in a breeze with his welcoming manner, and Miguel went out of his way to offer great suggestions for us to get the most out of Iceland during our brief stay. Highly recommend this place—it made our time in Iceland that much more memorable.
