Accommodations were a great option and reasonably priced compared to others in the city during a busy season. Room included a private bathroom, elevator, balcony, secured entry, and centralized location. Overall recommended.
The shower booth was a little bit small, but it was really nice to have own bathroom. Good location, and a kitchen. If I go back to Reykjavik, I will definitely stay here again.
The little studio flat is located in a convenient location. It has the common features you need to get by.
Pros:
Convenient location with shops and restaurants easily accessible.
Limited parking is available across the street and is on Zone 2. It gets busy in the evening. I parked on the main street (next to it) which was in a Zone 1, after 9pm. From 9am I could park up to 3 hours before having to move it - by then there were spaces in Zone 2. Parking was paid for via the Easy Park app.
Cons:
One of the electrical plug wasn't working, and another plug was broken (and there was a chance of getting a electric shock). I could still use the one by the bedside though.

A cheaper solo accommodation with a private bathroom. It’s close to the bus stop, pick ups for tours are easy. The room is clean and newly renovated. It’s spacious for a single occupant. Its location is close to dining and shopping. I would stay there again if I’m back in Reykjavík.
Was inexpensive, downtown, and comfortable. Only complaint was that the windows need to be open and there can be loud sounds outside, but there’s not much the property owners can do about that.

This was a great apartment with a good bed and a kitchenette so that we could prepare simple meals. It is right next to the downtown, so it was easy to access dining and shopping. It was next to the Hallgrimskirkja church, so it was easy to find our way back from city walks. There was an issue with hot water, but I believe that will be resolved for future tenants.

This is in a great location in the heart of the city. Spacious room with plenty of room for 6 persons. Directions and signage to the property were very thorough and made it easy to navigate. A broken item upon arrival was rapidly repaired. Very clean place with all necessary items included (towels, linens, plates, glasses, soaps, and shampoo). I highly recommend Daydream Apts for your stay.

We really enjoyed staying at Day Dream L23! It was located in the heart of Reykjavík on a residential street, which made our experience of the city more authentic. The room was cozy and warm and had everything we needed. The kitchen was super useful, as we made some of our meals at home. The hotel was a short walk to shopping, dining, the harbour and public transit. Overall amazing experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Really convenient spot in a great part of the city. It was nice to leave our luggage in a locked room and explore the city while our room was getting ready and letting us know our room was ready early was awesome. Everything was great about the guesthouse we really loved it for the most part. Except the pillows really suck (though the bed was super comfortable) and if you're 6ft or taller the shower was awful. I could barely fit in it and it made it difficult to clean myself. Other than that it was a great spot.

Great location ! Only 1 negative is this. Being that there is only 1 window that opens I believe it would be helpful if a fan was provided to help with the circulation. When I was there it was 82°. It was a little difficult sleeping without air movement.

Really good location, right in the center. It’s tiny but also cheap, so that is fine. The only thing we disliked was that we didn’t know the emergency exit was going through our room and that meant we had emergency lights on 24/7 and they were extremely bright which made it hard to sleep. We would have brought sleep masks if we had known!
The bathroom was a little messily renovated, but clean.
