The people in charge were nice but the bathroom drains smelled horrible. The blackout curtains only worked in the rooms so whoever stays in the living room on the sofabed has no blackout option so it was hard to sleep. We ran out of toilet paper and it was not refilled so we had to go get our own. The other properties from The Residence Reykjavik looked much nicer than the one we got. Wished they would let you know which “house” you will end up in because I would not have picked that one.
