We started our trip at Planet Apartments and it was the perfect landing spot - especially the underground parking. The apartment is spacious and the big windows make for great views. There are a few restaurants nearby and a small corner store for essentials. Getting in and out of Reykjavik is no problem from this location. We stayed 3 days and we drove out to Snaefellsnes Peninsula one day and Gullfoss the next. The day we visited in the city we walked everywhere. The apartment is close to the museums around the harbour and close enough to walk to the main area. We were a family of 3 and would highly suggest Planet Apartments to those looking to lock in a few days in Iceland.

This was a lovely apartment near the harbor and we had a wonderful time there. I wish I had had instructions on how to use either of the coffee makers in the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable and we loved the garage parking in a city that is parking challenged. Recommend.

The apartment was spacious, well equipped and lovely, and the views were wonderful! The location was ideal and there were many lovely restaurants in the area. We had a slight issue with the door and the owner was so quick to respond and remedy the issue. Reykjavik was amazing - Iceland is just beautiful, and the apartment was a safe perfect base. We can't wait to return to Reykjavik and would definitely love to stay here again!

We chose an apartment as we wanted a bit more flexibility and knew there'd be times we were in our room so wanted space to spread out...it was a great decision. On arrival it was underwhelming from the back, but once in, the apartment was spacious, well equipped and the views were wonderful out of the front, perfectly located in the marina. The hotel across the road was a pick up location for tours so it was ideal there and there were countless restaurants in the area. Reykjavik was great, Iceland just wonderful and the apartment was a safe perfect base.

Perfect place to stay In Reykjavik. The apartment is spotless and has everything you could need. The Sofa bed in the living room was perfect for the children, underground parking is really handy with a lift straight up to the apartment door and the view from the floor to ceiling window and balcony is amazing. Location is also great with lots of fantastic restaurants right on the doorstep and a walk into to the centre of town only takes 5-10 mins. Can’t say enough about this place. The whole experience is a credit to the owners.

The view of the harbor was incredible! The apartment has everything anyone would need. The basement parking might be a tight squeeze for a large SUV. Only criticism was that we spent about 30 minutes driving around trying to figure out exactly where to turn in to access the apartment & the parking. Although the property manager provided an email CLEARLY explained the procedures, we think a map would be a big help (for a foreigner unfamiliar with the area, navigating the one-way streets, construction, closed roads, etc. made even the best directions seem confusing. **In response to the reviews about the washing machine, read the manual under the sink (in several different languages). As far as the dryer not drying well, you must empty the water out of the reservoir in between loads since it is a ventless dryer.

This two bedroom apartment was in an excellent location to explore the city by foot. Very close to great restaurants, coffee shops and activities in the Old Harbor. The layout of the apartment was great for our family of four. The owner of the property was responsive and helpful. The property has begun to show some wear and age and could use a few extras to make it a five star spot. It would be helpful to have a clothes drying rack (the combination washer/dryer never really got anything dry and there were not enough spots to hang our laundry each evening), automatic coffee maker (there was a electric kettle and French press but no automatic coffee maker), extra paper towels and extra towels/linens. We were thrilled to be able to check in early after a red eye flight. This was a great help to us as we were traveling with young children. When we arrived the apartment was tidy but needed a bit of a clean. The bed linens were clean and fresh but the bathroom and kitchen needed a bit of attention. Overall this was a great spot to explore Reykjavík from and we very much enjoyed our stay. We were able to walk to most sights and found the Old Harbor and Old Town sections of Reykjavík to be fabulous neighborhoods to explore. There are three grocery stores within a 8-10 minute walk and a convenience store just two blocks away.

Great location in downtown Reykjavik close to the old harbour. Unable to take full advantage of the view from the balcony due to the weather but good views of the city and partial view of the harbour. Beds very comfy, really cosy with under floor heating, open plan living room/kitchen and spacious. All mod cons as expected with a modern apartment. 5 minute walk to the pick-up point for airport transfers and tours. Good selection of restaurants and bars close by. Icelandic people are very friendly. Owner very helpful and a minor issue with Wi-Fi access was resolved quickly.

Nice stay, great service, but view was lacking.
Planet Apartments was great. It was a comfortable stay for my wife and toddler. The check in process was simple, underground parking was good to have. The only negative is I booked an ocean front view (501) but it was not really an ocean front view. I have to peek out of the balcony to see the water. But nonetheless, this was a great stay. Just would have liked the ocean front view to be actual facing the ocean.

The apartment is very clean and modern. It had everything we needed to feel like home. Two recommendations: update the washer to more efficient as the clothes usually come out still very wet then it takes very long to dry them. Secondly to add shower curtain and exhaust fan in the bathroom to prevent water spilling from the shower and excessive moisture build up.

The only thing we could complain about was the construction workers starting at 8 am on the roof and our balcony.. that stunk as they were banging hammers and sawing. As we were on the top floor, this was very irritaring to not be able to sleep in. Good luck with parking. Getting into and out of the garage was dicey with a standard transmission. The spot next to us never gave us enough space so we could barely fit the car in. The property manager was awesome though. Kitchen was great. Nice location. Would go there again.

Beautiful apartment with great harbour views. Centrally located and a quick walk to the sights around Reykjavík. Perfect for travellers with a (rental) vehicle with included parking space and easy access to the road out of town. The stairwell to the parkade was dirty but otherwise the apartment itself and rest of the property are very tidy, although the apartment numbers on the doors could use some refreshing. Easy access to the unit at check-in with an elevator and number code for entry.
