Top Iceland Hotel Reviews

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The check-in/out staff were amazing and very accommodating before, during, and after our trip. They put our 3-room party in the same building, held our luggage securely before and after our stay, delivered our breakfast bread early to accommodate a scheduled tour. The rooms were very nice (1 room apartment) and had everything we needed. The breakfast deliveries contained yummy food - hard boiled eggs, fruit, ham/cheese/bread, butter/jam/honey, yogurt, tomatoes/pepper/cucumber (a surprise every day). We usually ate the food the day before as it was delivered in the afternoon and then the fresh bread came in the morning. We’ll be booking a trip back to Iceland and we’ll be staying at this same hotel."
