Accommodations

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel places guests in soundproofed apartments within several historic buildings, all a short walk from each other. The apartments offer fully equipped kitchens with induction hobs, microwaves, and dishwashers, alongside separate living and dining areas. Flexible room configurations include studios, one-bedroom suites, and two-bedroom apartments that sleep up to six people.

In-Room Amenities

Each morning, a fresh sourdough loaf is delivered to the apartment door, and a complimentary breakfast basket stocked with local products like Skyr yogurt, cheese, ham, boiled eggs, fresh fruit, and juice is placed in the fridge every evening. Guests receive a welcome supply of milk, apple juice, cereal, and a selection of coffee pods for the Nespresso machine. Daily housekeeping is included and staff will even load the dishwasher.

Services

A 24-hour reception staff is based at the main office and provides personalized recommendations for tours, transportation, and local attractions. The hotel offers airport pick-up and drop-off services for an additional fee, as well as concierge service and luggage storage. Free communal laundry facilities with washers and dryers are available in the basement, along with vending machines and a safety deposit box at reception.

Major landmarks such as The Sun Voyager monument and The National Museum of Iceland are reachable on foot, and tour bus stops 6 and 14 are a short walk away. Keflavík International Airport is a 50-minute drive from the hotel.
