Nice apartment in heart of the city

Good apartment close to city centre (all places of interest walking distance). They have several apartments in the town & the one allocated may be different to what you see in pictures. However all apartments seem to be of good quality

Luxury, we loved it.

Excellent Bnb.

Location was great. Parking was easily available on street near apartment

Great location but room for improvement

Overall, I was pleased with my stay at the downtown apartments (Ingólfsstræti 8). It was very convenient for exploring Reykjavik and also perfectly located close to Bus Stop 6, where both airport shuttles and tour buses pick-up/drop-off. Restaurants and shops are also right down the street, as well as a grocery store across the street. Because these are apartments and not a traditional hotel, it's self check-in. I found the instructions clear when it came to using the door code and then accessing your key in the security box. The biggest drawback of this was the lack of bag storage. My flight arrived in Reykjavik at 4am and I was stuck with my bag until check-in at 3pm. Perhaps a storage cabinet could be added outside of the 2 apartments? When I did check-in, there was still dirty water in the sink and wet spots on the floor, but as a whole the apartment was clean. It was nice having a kitchen but I did not get to use it much. And while the apartment is fairly spacious, the bathroom is really small; therefore, it's difficult to shower without water spilling onto the floor. There was no floor mat in the bathroom and no extra towels; only a squeegee to try to push the water away from the toilet and back into the shower. Normally I wouldn't mind not having daily cleaning service, but because of the wet floor in the bathroom and having only 1 towel for the entire stay, that was inconvenient. Again, I was happy with my stay overall, but there's room for improvement.

It was close to everything in town. Clse to the bus stop to goto the BSI. I would book it again. It would have nice if there were more towels

The good things about this property were a) the location being near lots of restaurants and pubs; b) the size of the apartment; and c) the service I received on the telephone. The bad things were: a) the lack of greeting package that would show you how to work the TV (I am somewhat tech savvy); and b) the stairs up to the apartment were incredibly steep.

Need better upkeep

We stayed at Church View apartment. The location is superb. The unit itself is styled as Scandinavian so it is tastefully design. However, the place does not have proper upkeeping and maintenance. Firstly, the outer locks to enter the building is soo difficult to open (and we were afraid everytime we went out, we would be locked out and had to call a locksmith). Then, the door handle to enter the unit is almost broken so another scare to have. Overall, it is a nicely designed and located, but too bad it does not stay in a good shape due to lack of maintenance.

Reykjavik and Iceland were great, but...

It appears we experienced a bait and switch scenario. The unit we booked based on the photos on the Expedia site was not the unit, nor the address where we stayed. What was supposed to be a bright and open apartment turned out to be a cramped hole in the wall. The location was great, but the unit was the pits. Moral of the story - check that what you booked is what the local company gives you.

Great location, dated building, excellent inside

Excellent location and well appointed inside the house, which made up for the shack looking structure. It was missing some basic stuff like dishwasher pods, extra trash bags, enough cutlery/pots/pans, leftover condiments/oil etc which one typically expects in an apartment (rather than a hotel room). However, I would recommend this place to friends and would stay here again.

I noticed the check-in instructions I received had a different address than the apartment I booked. Upon asking I was told we were switched due to technical difficulties. It would have been nice for someone to email me of this change rather than just putting a different address in the check-in instructions. Thomsen Apartments is in a very convenient location. You can walk to everything. It was a bit cramped for 6 people. It had no elevator so we had to carry all our luggage up 4 floors.

Very run down building. Lot of street noise and bar noise. Did rent an apartment with a quiet location, but that was not true. We actually didn't use the apartment but checked in at downtown hotel!!!

Location

Excellent location and very comfortable for a family of four

The location was fantastic. It was so easy to get there from bus stop 8 and many things were close by. The only thing that was missing from the apartment was a bath mat and more toilet paper.

Despite glitches we'd stay at this apartment again

I received a prompt booking confirmation email for a different (& better) apartment address. Misleading. (The address issue was reported by 'Justin' in 01/07/2016). Also received detailed access instructions but 'maid' locked street key inside building - doorbell u/s leaving us stranded on doorstep in blizzard & dark until after 30mins+ and several international calls to the emergency contact number provided) while our access was remotely sorted. The street door lock proved temperamental (as previously reported by 'Erin' in 23/09/2017). Bathroom tap/basin & kitchen tap/sink while very stylish were impractical (but for a short stay 'bearable'). Wardrobe space was limited as we were unable to open most of the doors. Although I'm fairly technical I could not work out how to operate the TV system (a pity as we couldn't sample Icelandic TV, but not high on our priorities). Plethora of remote controllers for TV, set-top box, window blinds, kitchen hob fan/light and apartment lighting (not all covered in the apartment's otherwise comprehensive instruction booklet). The apartment was well equipped and supermarkets conveniently close. Important for our February visit, the apartment was warm and comfortable. Overnight parking for our rental car was easily found in the area close to Bus Stop #8. The key test is if we were to re-visit Reykjavik would we again choose this accommodation - the answer is a unanimous 'yes', particularly if some of these 'minor' glitches were sorted.

Gorgeous apartment in the centre of Reykjavik

Apartment 102 was perfect! Very easy to find with the information Thomsen sent prior to arrival. The living area, kitchenette and bathroom couldn’t have been better, they were very spacious and sat 4 very comfortably. Everything you needed for your stay including cooking utensils was provided, which meant we could have a lovely enjoyable night in. The bedrooms are quite small but to us that didn’t matter, there is no need for them to be any bigger! Location is perfect! So close to downtown Reykjavik, walking distance to everything. I would definitely stay again!

Nice room - quiet area

The apartment was still being cleaned when I arrived at check in time, so I had to wait about 30 min until it was ready. It's a very minimalist space, but fairly quiet for only being up one floor. There's a small balcony off the rear of the apt overlooking residential backyards. The kitchen is a nice size for a couple of people prepping food. It's about an 8 minute walk from the apt to the downtown harbour, so a good option if you're looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the main street. Bonus: it's only about 5 min from the Viking ship sculpture.

Great location

Excellent location and comfortable, clean apartment. Enjoyed the room but had a few issues: whenever the shower was running, it created a large leak in the middle of the kitchen floor; also, the lock on the door was a real issue and needs to be fixed. It was challenging to get both inside and out of the room.

Great location, clean and spacious. The bed was so comfortable, slept like a baby. Easy to find and easy check-in/check-out.

Great Choice

This is a nice stylish apartment in a good location. The bedrooms are quite small but it was a bonus to have 2 separate bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the lounge, meaning the whole family could sleep in different rooms. It is perfectly located in a quiet street but 5 mins walk to the centre. Free on-street parking was also about 5 mins walk. The communication with the owners was very good - they emailed clear instructions on how to access the apartment, and the key was waiting for us as promised. As Iceland is expensive to eat out, we brought quite a lot of our own food and also did some shopping at a Netto. This apartment has 2 ceramic rings, a fridge, a kettle, a toaster and a microwave plus plenty of crockery. Staying in this apartment was therefore a big help to our budget when compared against staying in a hotel.

Nice Icelandic retreat

A very nice two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. Only drawback was the loft - a bit low in the bedrooms if you are a tall person.

Convenient & comfortable apartment on Grettisgata

Bright, spacious and clean apartment. It was only a few minutes walk to the main street and to the water front. Self check in worked fine although it would have been useful to have a welcome book in the apartment with phone numbers and appliance instructions etc.

Excellent service and email communication after booking

Great location

Great location right off the main street and close to the church and all the rrestaurants

The central location and cleanliness were great. Four of us stayed in a two bedroom apartment but there was limited space for travellers with luggage to pack/unpack. Otherwise the apartment was great.

Apartment address may change

These are apartments and not hotels. After reading other reviews it appears Odinsgata 5 is just a placeholder address or feeder for getting customers as they will reassign you to different apartment without your knowledge. Arrived at 2:00am in the morning with significant amount of luggage to find that we were reassigned from Odinsgata 5 to another location. My prearranged tours pickups were based on the original address, this caused problems in needing to rearrange mapped out plans for the next few days based on Odinsgata 5 location. To give them credit the apartment they tried their best to fix the situation, we were reassigned to apartment that was very nice and in a better location, however not worth the heartache at 2am in the morning with kids and truck load of bags to find you need to move to different location plus having to worry about figuring out reorganizing pre arranged tour pickups.

Very centrally located to shops and sights.

Great place close to shopping and eating. There were 4 of us and we were all very comfortable. If you are an older person you could experience getting in and out of the shower.

Good not great

The shower was small but the apartment was ok for the price. I would stay there again

This apartment is a little gem.

Location is essential and this location was perfect, central to sights and needs. The door keys were easily accessible and the Nespresso coffee maker was fabulous. Restaurants in Reykjavik are very expensive so having a kitchen was important. Finding a parking space was not a problem and the beds were very comfortable. The building was quiet at night and the shower was great. Only drawback was the lack of a proper couch. I definitely recommend this apartment at this price point.

Great location

Ideal apartment and location to explore Reykjavik.

Air BnB not Hotel

The actual rooms were nice, but there was absolutely no service -- you can stay at an Air BnB for cheaper. No hairdryer, the owner had no clue we were checking in, no wifi information, no one checked on us to see if we needed anything, and no front desk. Which is fine, but then market yourself as an Air BnB, not a hotel.

Had a few problems getting hold of the information to check in but once we telephoned it was sorted in minutes. The apartment was comfortable, clean and SO WARM! Brilliant central location. Self check in with key box so very convenient.

Perfect spot for exploring Iceland

Perfect location in a lovely little apartment conveniently located between the main two streets. Easy access to the main streets for hopping on tour buses. The room was tastefully redecorated and immaculately clean.

Reservation not honored

We booked this apartment downtown, however, upon arrival were sent to another house on the outskirts of the city instead due to 'over booking'.

Great location, but bathroom needs work

The apartment was lovely, in a great location, the landlady responded quickly to our text when we arrived -a friendly lady, her son came around and completed the TV/Internet installation as soon as we arrived, so great service. However, the bathroom needs upgrading, smell from shower and shower area needs cleaning. If the bathroom was upgraded, we would happily stay in the future.

Rekomenderas

Fin lägenhet med ett fantastiskt läge. Fungerade fint för fyra vuxna och två barn

非常糟

前一晚才通知換地點，說我們原本訂的地方也就是大家現在看到的地址已經停止營業了，被改的地方跟照片上根本不一樣，不值這個價，蠻詐騙的，廚房用品蠻髒的，清潔劑和沐浴用品都是加水的，不能用。停留四晚衛生紙只給兩卷。

Nice room and big size

Fin lägenhet i sjabbigt hus

Jättefin o praktisk lägenhet, men utsidan o entrén ser sjabbig ut. Bra läge.

Hyvä sijainti

Kivan kokinen siisti asunto hyvällä paikalla. Lähellä oli kaikki tarvittavat palvelut. Ovikoodit toimii hyvin. Ainoa huono puoli oli ettei ollut henkilökunta silloin kuin "naapurit" mekkaloi.

Kattohuoneisto hyvällä sijainnilla Grettisgatalla

Saavuimme ensin vanhempaan asuntoon Odinsgatalle 6 hlö seurueen kanssa. Sieltä puuttui pyyhkeet ja lakanat eikä ovi toiminut. Tavoitin nopeasti puhelimitse henkilökunnan ja melko pian saimme siirtyä paljon parempaan asuntoon joka oli siisti ja miellyttävä. Astiat riitti vain viidelle, mikroa ei ollut, mutta pärjäisimme hyvin ja laittelimme itse ruuat ihan sujuvasti. Tiskikone oli mikä oli oikein kiva juttu. Suosittelen ainakin tätä Grettisgataa isommalle perheelle.

Great location, okay apartment, bad service

The apartment was not at all like the photos, rather old and not particularly fresh. However, locations was great! Not too much noise outside. We had trouble with the reservation, and did not experience good communication with the responsible person.

Einmal und nicht wieder

Wir wollten eigentlich 3 Nächte in dem Appartment verbringen. Da wir uns aber in der Wohnung so unwohl gefühlt haben, sind wir einen Tag vorher abgereist. Die Wohnung ist ein ehemaliger Laden, was man an den vorhandenen Bodenfliesen und der großen Fensterfläche noch gut erkennen kann. Direkt vor dem Fenster ist ein Parkplatz und Fussweg, so dass man das Gefühl hat, jeder starrt hinein. Allerdings geht dieses nicht, da ein Sichtschutz vorhanden ist. Die Küche besteht aus einer sehr kleinen Küchenzeile, mit kaum vorhandener Ablagefläche. Ein Backofen und Geschirrspüler ist nicht vorhanden. Das zweite Schlafzimmer würde ich als Abstellkammer bezeichen, ohne Fenster! In der ganzen Wohnung gibt es keinerlei Möglichkeiten, Koffer ect. unterzubringen. Wie man mit 5 Personen unterkommen soll, ist mir ein Rätsel. Das einzige Positive ist die stylische Einrichtung.

Comfortabel en dichtbij

Heerlijk appartement, klein maar leuk en comfortabel, zeer dicht bij winkels, horeca , kortom een aanrader om in het centrum te verblijven. Geen Personeel gezien, maar dat was voor ons geen probleem, alles goed geregeld. Appartement is schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Wij hebben een onvergetelijke tijd gehad in Reykjavik, en komen zeker terug.

Apartment passer til max. 4 personer.

Værelset var ikke klar da ankom kl. 15.00, vi måtte ringe efter rengøring, og gå en tur i byen imens. Varme på badeværelse fungerer ikke. Badeværelsesgulv meget glat. Soveværelser er ok, med 4 gode senge. Køkken og stuefaciliteter er ok. Der mangler lys over køkkenbordet. Skabsdør ved køleskab og mikrobølgeovn uhensigtsmæssigt monteret.

Overall Good

no wifi

Amplio muy cómodo y muy bien ubicado

Excelente Apartamento muy bien ubicado. Amplio y muy cómodo. Muy bien equipado con sus elementos de cocina.

Toppläge, rent och fräscht men ej för 5 personer.

Mycket prisvärt lägenhetshotell. Ligger perfekt mitt i centrala Reykjavik, kändes mycket rent och fräscht och var billigt. DOCK ett stort frågetecken: när vi bokade (Rum 1 på Njalsgata 4b) stod det att det var fem bäddar (1 dubbelsäng, 2 enkelsängar och 1 bäddsoffa). Så var det absolut inte! Det är endast två st. 1.40-sängar (jättesköna!). Inga enkelsängar, ingen bäddsoffa. Alltså i princip två bäddar. Vi var tre personer så två av oss tvingades dela på den ena sängen...

Sfeervol en centraal appartement

alles was prima verzorgd. Appartement ligt heel centraal, op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden van Rejkjavik. Parkeren kan in de straat (betaald). Iets verderop kindje gratis parkeren. Heel fraai, modern ingericht. Zeer comfortabel.

Super appartement T3 à Reykjavik

Très agreable séjour. Appartment bien agencé et très bien situé. Conseils utiles recu du staff.
