    But wash basin is a little bit small.don’t have elevators. If you have a big luggage, it will be inconvenient.

    Room is very cozy and beautiful. Location is very good.

    Bathroom was very small and could do with being modernised. Access codes on main doors were temperamental.

    Central location. Very nice shared kitchen/living area with a balcony. Room itself was modern. Smart TV.

    I had some difficulty initially with the door code but my husband used it with no issue. We found that pressing * before entering the code helped which might be good to point out to others. We saw others having issues with their codes and also one night I could hear someone having difficulty using their door code in the middle of the night so it seems to be a common issue! Wasn't major for us but just to note.

    Lovely, comfortable room in a fantastic location at the bottom of the rainbow street. Good facilities in the room for making breakfast/tea/coffee with access to a shared kitchen. The host was able to tell me where to park nearby also which was helpful!

    Beautiful, clean, and excellent location but access was unreliable and unacceptable for the price

    • Five-Bedroom Penthouse Apartment

    The only negative, which was a really big negative is that the lock on the second floor to access our unit on the third floor failed multiple times during the day and through the night and friends were locked out for hours at a time. This happened to us multiple times. The lock must be changed. All 9 of us at different times had problems. The contact was responsive but it was a problem when it happened in the middle of the night. Also, a staff person walked into the flat unannounced and my friend was half naked in the kitchen. They need to improve privacy and respect that when rented you cannot enter like that freely. Considering how much we paid for the third floor unit the above is totally unacceptable. We should have been reimbursed partially. All we got was a 2 hour later check out.

    Steps away from restaurant scene and night life, central bus stop 6 only one block way for any type of pick up, grocery store and the waterfront; the private terrace is an amazing feature we used and we saw the northern lights from it; amazing large space in the rooms and the common area in the photo. True to photos and description. The cleaning crew was excellent. The place was spotless. They did a great job. This is an excellent choice if you are a group of friends or multiple families that want to be all together. You can cook and save money this way. The lighting is beautiful in the flat and the rooms are super comfortable and modern. Every room has an onsuite bathroom.

    There is no elevator which isn't a huge deal but we had big heavy suitcases to carry up and down them so that wasn't great. The code we were given was wrong but they sent someone to resolve the issue and help us in right away. We left snacks out in the kitchen on the counter, cleaning took them probably thinking they were left, so I would recommend keeping your (non refrigerated) food in the room if applicable.

    The location is great, right in the heart of Reykjavik at the end of Rainbow St. We stayed in the pent house, the balcony is really nice, has an awesome view of the city as well as ocean/mountains. There is a nice espresso maker with the coffee provided, kitchen is well stocked and clean. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of pillows, which wasn't the case at the other ab&b we stayed. It was easy to contact the host with questions and the staff was very nice - they helped us carry our luggage up the stairs.

    the private bathroom was outside the room. private, but outside, so if you have to pee in the night you will wake up your parner getting back in with the door code saying "door open" and the bathroom door is in the kitchen area, so not ideal

    The location is great, and the room has huge windows so there's light a nice street view

    There’s a bar above (or near) which plays loud karaoke very late! It was challenging getting to sleep because of it and I wish I had known this before booking. Hopefully it’s just a weekend occurrence (we only stayed Friday night).

    Really comfortable, clean and nice communal area with appliances

    It supposed to be bathtub - that’s why i choose this apartment, bathtub was my priority and after i made booking i got information it will be just shower because they changed it. Also when i got this information i can’t cancel the booking because u will lose my money so this was big minus for me because it’s was saying this bathtub will be there and it wasn’t.

    Apartment was really nice and clean.

    very noisy night with fellow guests upstairs having a full-blown party! and as this is a self-service accommodation there was no one on site to address this. I had to call the number of the management of the property well past midnight to make a complaint. the person on the phone sounded like she was out with friends. after explaining the situation she said she would send someone to check but it was well over an hour until they were able to stop the party. we had little rest because of this. if you’re looking to book this area due to its good location, I’d highly recommend looking 1 or 2 streets away as it will be a lot more peaceful and less noisy. on a Friday night that area of the city was full of drunk locals and tourists, not a good impression of an otherwise pretty small town.

    nice and modern

    very very tiny room.. description stated 14m2 but it was maximum 10. we couldn't have our suitcase inside or even walk 2 people at the same time. bathroom had a weird smell and the walls are super thin, we could hear everything our neighbours were talking about. but to be honest these things aren't as important

    we really enjoyed the location and how clean it was. anything you might need can be found in the kitchen, we even managed to make some coffee! the bed is super comfy as well.

    I wish it has a lift rather than carrying my luggage 3 floors up which was very challenging for a solo traveller like me. There’s a distinct smell with the water, not sure what it was though

    Perfect location for a first timer in Iceland as it is centrally located. You have everything within the neighborhood! Property was right in front of the famous rainbow street and very close to the famous church in Reykjavik. Property was very clean and modern. It has all the amenities.

    The room we had faced onto the main street - whilst it was a nice room on the whole, I would advise bringing earplugs if you are planning on staying on a Friday or Saturday as the bass from the nearby venues is very loud and continues until the early morning.

    Great location in the centre of Reykjavik. Good communal space with some basic cooking facilities (helpful for saving some pennies in Iceland!). Convenient to access with keyless entry and a nice terrace outside.
