Rangárvallasýsla Luxury Holidays

It's pretty expensive but the breakfast was somewhat less quality. Boiled Egg was always hard to peel. Not enough milk prepared. Lack of variety in breakfast . Shower water all over the floor because of no boundary. Upstair room shower water sound here loudly. But overall safe and quiet.

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

It was definitely a luxury experience unlike most stays I've ever done, 10/10 no notes on the hotel itself, the staff and amenities were bespoke. Breakfast was custom made to my liking and brought on a cart in the morning at a time of my choosing. Unbelievably good food and the lady working the desk was very charming. Word of caution, however: it is the highest up apartment in the entire city, maybe the entire country and the hotel is limited to the private access top floor of a new skyscraper of mostly corporate offices. At night, it was likely that my (city facing/partial ocean view) hotel room was the only one lit up in the tower and since the walls --including the bathroom-- are all glass, everything inside rather stands out and there no real privacy without curtains drawn. At some point, shortly after returning back at around midnight, someone somewhere in the city who noticed my arrival to the hotel room started blasting the apartment with a high powered laser pointer until I closed the curtains. That aside, it was a remarkably nice stay, the only concern is that its wildly ostentatious for better or for worse and maybe the locals aren't too pleased with that haha. I would stay here again.

The hotel was clean, and the location was great.

Everything seemed to be in order for a typical stay. You're not really within walking distance of the main shopping districts and the view out the window was right over a traffic circle so you're getting noise all night. The place was clean and I liked that they had setup a full dining room table setup with plates. That was a nice touch. Checkout was at 10:00AM, not 11:00AM. Wasn't too much of a bother as we were planning to exit at 10:15AM anyway, but I thought we had that extra hour. Directions to the unit were confusing. They went to great lengths to provide a very detailed writeup of how to get into the unit with the door passcode. However, we did get confused, and used the pass code to get into the unit only to find out that they were using the same passcode for two different buildings. So we thought we were in the right building, opened the door to our unit, and there's some family sitting there looking at us. So then I called and they picked up and guided us to the correct building. Lastly, they say parking is always available. I'm not sure what they mean by that as it's not always available. I had to park quite a distance away.

Staff was very helpful. We had trouble locking our balcony door and the front desk came up to assist. We stayed in the Pearl room. We didn't realize our balcony was a shared balcony with another room and the common space shared amongst the suites. There were no issues, but would have been nice to know before hand. Overall the room was very clean, very nice, and we enjoyed our stay for 1 night.

Our stay was excellent. The house was immaculate upon arrival, check-in was simple, and the kitchen had salt, pepper, oil, and two bottles of wine. Instructions are provided to guide you through usage of the hot pool and radiant floor heating. We were in house 2, which had a fire pit as well. For those who want to grill, we noticed a propane grill in the utility room on our last day. This was an exceptional stay with a great view and very responsive host. If we can come back, we will.

I only have one recommendation for the hotel. In the lobby, change the ringtone at reception. It is the default tone that immediately breaks the vacation mentality and brings one back to the normal grind of every day life

great private black sand beach, walk distance to the ocean with nice ocean and mountain view. Breakfast is also good. Staff were helpful too. Horse will show up outside of your room window, don't be surprised by that😉

This was such a cute property. We received check in instructions day before and was very easy to get in. Finding the guesthouse was a bit difficult but we asked someone in the bakery next door and they were able to direct us. It’s right next door to a convenience store. The guesthouse itself is huge and has everything you need. You do take stairs to get to your room but not a big deal and we found parking on the street. Would definitely stay here again as the location is also perfect and near all the club spots in downtown Reykjavik. Would definitely come here again

We highly recommend the Residence Hotel! Our room was clean and nicely appointed. The hotel was centrally located, and the staff were warm and welcoming!
