Spacious but steep narrow stairs
Extremely spacious and comprehensive, even had washer dryer with powdered detergent. We used the app check-in because the reception is not in the same building but eventually got cards as the phone to unlock as the phone is a little slow (also in case of dead battery). Only not-ideal thing was our top apartment was on the third floor with a narrow, steep and almost circular staircase, no elevator - needed to hold the larger suitcases at chest height to make the turns. Having the kitchen and some basics included (milk, cornflakes) was very convenient for our departure. I would stay again but on a lower floor.

Contactless check in was a little confusing at first but we figured it out. The room was great and well-equipped. The shower was amazing and equipped with L'Occitane products. However the the sofa bed was incredibly uncomfortable and back breaking, would not have been able sleep on it for longer than 1 night.

Reykjavík Residence Hotel while a bit pricey was worth it! Close to just about everything you want to see in Reykjavík within walking distance. Was also great after long day trips to come back and have space to just decompress and relax. Staff was available and great when needed, very responsive. I’d certainly stay here again. The one thing you want is a place you feel comfortable with.

I forgot to ask about the vip food and drink credit . The residence we stayed at was actually in a different building than the one we checked in at . I booked a studio and we actually stayed in a one bedroom upgrade . The place was lovely , safe and comfortable. We had a great balcony . The kitchen was great and there was great choices of coffee and hot cocoa. We were tired from traveling so it was great to shower , sit in our robes and drink coffee. The next street up was tons of food and shopping . The residence is centrally located to sightseeing .

Disappointing
Be aware this hotel is a collection of small downtown buildings with low staff overhead. The reception is in another building blocks away. Payment, check-in, and building/room key are automated using an app you have to download to your smartphone. There is no parking, no on-site staff, and no one to help with luggage. Despite the listing of an elevator as an amenity, there was no elevator in our building. Other features included poor sound insulation between rooms and a bathtub/shower a man of ordinary height can’t stand up in and a short person has difficulty getting into and out of. Our room did have a very compact kitchenette wall with small appliances, and L’Occitaine bath items. The extra cost breakfast included excellent fresh bread delivered to the door and a variety of other items placed in the refrigerator the previous day. Fruit was an apple. The description should more accurately convey the nature of this property and the limited staffing and assistance available. It should not claim amenities like an elevator if most of the buildings don’t have elevators.
