Great hotel in the heart of the city
The rooms were great but finding the place was very difficult. The hotel is 5 different buildings in a 5 block radius. It was difficult to find reception in the dark, freezing rain. Better directions are needed. After check in though everything was perfect. Parking is difficult

Excellent
First time to Iceland. We could not have been more pleased with our stay. Excellent location and accommodations. This time of year it is mostly dark, but I could see this being excellent in Summer as the blackout shades were excellent as well. Will be back for an summer trip

5 Stars!
Reykjavik Residence Hotel was so clean, comfortable, and gracious. It was everything we were looking for! We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast brought each morning and by the water pressure in the rain shower.

Didn’t have good directions or pictures of the main office, lost when we first got there. Luckily we didn’t need elevator but didn’t seem to be an option in our house/hotel. Shower was terrible, large bathtub, hand held sat at edge of tub so had to hold while showering. Wish at check in he would have explained how things worked in Iceland like heat and windows for ac.

Great little place in downtown Reykjavik! Walkable to many places downtown. A few renovations (painting) happening while we were staying there, but the painters did not come early or stay late (were not bothersome). Would recommend!

Spacious but steep narrow stairs
Extremely spacious and comprehensive, even had washer dryer with powdered detergent. We used the app check-in because the reception is not in the same building but eventually got cards as the phone to unlock as the phone is a little slow (also in case of dead battery). Only not-ideal thing was our top apartment was on the third floor with a narrow, steep and almost circular staircase, no elevator - needed to hold the larger suitcases at chest height to make the turns.
Having the kitchen and some basics included (milk, cornflakes) was very convenient for our departure.
I would stay again but on a lower floor.

We loved the room, beautiful, spacious, great place to stay for a multiple days, or a week. It was somewhat difficult to find and only on street parking available.
