Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Street noise in the center — Being in the heart of Reykjavik means you'll hear the city's nightlife. Earplugs are provided, but light sleepers should be prepared.
  • Compact studios — Some apartments are petite, especially the budget studios. They're well organized, but they're not spacious.
  • No on-site reception — There's no front desk—you call on arrival and are met at the apartment. This may be a small inconvenience for some.

“The room was snug and the shower felt warm and inviting, with a lovely atmosphere throughout. The location was incredibly handy, just 2 km from the airport.”

8.5Verified guest

“We stayed on the top floor and the apartment was very spacious, decorated with traditional Icelandic architecture and furniture. It deserves the highest rating and I'll be back—my next visit will definitely be to the Central apartments.”

8.5Verified guest

“Booked the budget studio for two nights at each end of our Iceland tour. We were upgraded at the start to a roomy apartment with a sofa and dining table, though even the smaller studio we stayed in on our return was well laid out, spotless, and comfortable. After we called, someone met us at the apartment within five minutes. The contact was extremely helpful, even arranging our Flybus pickup from Hotel Plaza across the square. Perfect if you want to be in the thick of things—earplugs are provided.”

“Amazing location, and the facilities were spotless and very modern.”

8.5Verified guest

“Great location and really helpful staff. Being in the city centre means noise, but they provide earplugs, which was a nice touch. They also left a mobile phone we could have used if needed. Small extras like that make a big difference—I'd definitely recommend it.”

“The room was right in the centre and was absolutely excellent.”
