When I arrived the owner was on site and took me to my room. He had a local map, Iceland map, several different guide books, a printed sheet of all the info I would need all laid out on the table. He gave me some great basic overviews of the studio apartment, the local area, and was happy to answer any questions I had. The location was so perfect! Everything i wanted to see in Reykjavík was very easily walkable. The neighborhood was perfect, very close to at least a dozen restaurants, shopping and so much more. The price was better than many of the hotels. I will definitely stay here on my next visit! Very highly recommend!!!

What a find! This place was great, everything you could need, and so clean. Location was also fantastic. The host was most helpful, taking extra time to help us use the on-sight laundry facilities. Highly recommend.

The host Aldo is very friendly. It’s a bonus to have a mini kitchen since we stayed 7 days and dining out daily can be expensive esp in Iceland. The shopping district is just a minute away. The grocery store is so close. I love that we are located at the main hub, it’s accessible to everything. It’s also walkable to the bus tours stop.

Alfred’s Apartment’s is the cutest apartment. Nice size for 4 people (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 child). 1 bedroom with 2 beds and 1 double pull out couch in the livingroom that teen said was comfy. Our beds in the bedroom were extremely comfy. Kitchen and bathroom. Equipped with everything we need, clean, and decorated with so much charm. Laundry is free, which has been incredibly convenient. The host has been both friendly and helpful. We are conveniently located next to all of the main downtown Reykjavik shops and restaurants and only a couple of blocks from pretty much everything else. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for much more. I would stay here a million times over. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Alfred's Apartments. 🇮🇸

Great location, decent price and overall a good option. Parking will be an issue if you have a rental car. Being so close to the main road, zone 1 is expensive.

Perfect 2 night stay in the heart of the City
Perfect small, no frills apartment to sleep up to 4 with kitchenette. Downtown, walk everywhere. 3 of us stayed 2 nights. I wanted the double bed turned into 2 singles. I phoned and the manager was there in 5 minutes to do it for us. Easy street parking in P1 and P2 on a one way street, free on weekends.

Very nice apartment centrally located and close to a host of restaurants and shops. The one thing we disliked was the walls are super thin, so it was not very quiet. We had an apartment located on a lower floor so we literally could hear everything from the apartment above us. Whenever they would walk around the apartment or up the stairs, it literally sounded as if they were stomping and jumping around. It made it very frustrating at night while trying to sleep.

Walking distance to all downtown Reykjavik and comfortable short distances to nearby attractions. Accomodation was spacious and clean, provided needed towels, blankets, kitchen items, bath soap etc. Would like more pressure in the shower but we managed. Our host was such a friendly and accomodating person, we enjoyed our brief meetings with him. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful stay. :)

Maybe not 8.4
Apartment was good. Reasonably well equipped with most things you would need for a stay. The only thing that we didnt like was the shower. This only had a curtain and put a lot of water on the floor. Our apartment was on the ground floor and suffered from a lot of noise late into most nights as people came home from night excursions. Saturday night also noisy from drinkers outside.

Very nice place! Perfect location. Well suited for a couple. We stayed one night and ate out for our meals and had all we needed. The owner welcomed us and was very kind. Lots of information about Iceland helped us plan part of our trip. Excellent coffee shop and fish and chips quick stop right across the street. Tons of various food options and local shops within walking distance. This place is in the middle of it all. We were a little nervous about parking but ended up finding spots easily with the surplus of garages around and it was very affordable ~ $2 USD per day on Saturdays and Free on Sundays.

I was super surprised and happy when I learned the studio was located on the ground level! This meant I didn't have to tote my baggage up flights of stairs! The property is right around the corner from a grocery if you want to stock up on snacks. The studio had a microwave, kettle, and fridge which I used throughout my stay. There were pots and pans and a stovetop which I did not use but were convenient to have. The property is right around the corner from several souvenir stores, tons of Iceland clothing stores, and some FANTASTIC restaurants! The location is a good 20ish minute walk to Seabaron on the harbor but totally worth it! I got to meet the property owner on my last day in the city. He was super sweet and was ecstatic to hear that I had been enjoying my visit.

I liked the unit because it was clean and modern. It’s perfect for solo travelers and couples. The location is great and the apartment is easy to find. The only downside is that you can hear foot steps from your upstairs neighbor but it was never a problem. I would stay again. Thanks again!

The apartment is very central, close by to the shops , bus station for excursion pick ups. The apartment was very warm and clean. It had enough cooking equipment, coffee machine, hot plates , microwave etc so we didnt spend fortunes eating out. As for noise it wasnt too bad consideribg you are right in the middle of the city. We were greeted by the owner just as we arrived , you can leave your cases under the stairs on the day you leave and it seemed safe to do so. Would definitely book here again.

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK! I looked at the pictures provided but this wasn’t what I got when we arrived. I first put this down to pictures being misleading like they often are but when I rechecked after returning home the apartment we got wasn’t on any of the 55 pictures. There was coffee stains down the side of the cupboards, the shower is dirty and full of grime. The apartment had a weird smell that lead to us buying an air freshener. The dining area in the kitchen was suitable for 10 year olds and not adults with the chairs feeling ready to break when sat on. The queen bed we were told would be in our room was two single beds pushed together that soon separated during the night. When you arrive you will be greeted and asked what time you will be leaving and then get several emails asking when you’re leaving during your stay. Do not book this apartment as you will be conned into paying for what you think is the nice apartment on the pictures but this isn’t what you will get. There are more reviews supporting this which I wish I had checked before booking.

Good Location ... but disappointed
Excellent location, close to the water and Laugavegur (main street) but very disappointed with: - No self laundry as advertised; - No queen bed .. rather small beds that quickly separated every night .. very uncomfortable; - Interesting .. that of the 55 photo's .. not one depicted this apartment (rear building) .. and I felt this was purposely deceptive .. hiding the fact that this apartment was small and spartan ... whereas the photos depict the apartments as spacious and new.

Excellent place to stay
The location was outstanding, easy walking distance to everything in Reykjavik, easy access to main routes for driving outside the city. The apartment was spotless and the beds the most comfortable we've ever found away from home. Our particular unit was beside a pull in where workers with noisy carts rattled over the brick pavement around 5:30-6:00 weekdays ... not a problem for us since we were getting up early to get to the hiking sites. The only thing we missed in the apartment was a chair or tiny couch for reading somewhere other than in bed. The kitchen had everything we needed and all worked well.
