Top Iceland Hotel Reviews

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay here and felt right at home! I received many updates prior to check in letting me know the process and which building I would be in etc., and I received a link for my room key which I was able to pull up right on my phone and was so easy to use. There is no parking but there was tons of street parking close by that you can pay for with the parka app, it was very affordable and free overnight. This was literally like a mini studio apartment, had everything we needed, and was the perfect location for all the things we planned to do. Would definitely stay again!"
