Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved our stay here! The hotel was spotlessly clean, everything felt well cared for, and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. We were really looking forward to trying the rooftop hot tub but sadly it was under repair during our visit — totally understandable and the staff let us know clearly, but we were still a little disappointed! That just means we’ll have to come back when it’s up and running. Would definitely recommend!""
