Excellent Stay with some Freebies!

Incredibly easy, key is in a locked safe next to the door, no human interaction necessary! The flat is round the back of the hosts’ house but very easy to get to. Hosts were kind enough to provide some snacks and alcoholic beverages at no extra cost! Location was ideal, only a 5-10 min walk to the city centre. Overall excellent stay, would fully recommend to anyone visiting Reykjavík.

Plads til forbedringer!!

Embassy Apartments navn levede absolut ikke op til forventningerne ! En garage indrettet til bolig - hvor tapetet, lamperne og sengen var pænt og godt, men vandhanen sad helt løst i køkkenbordet og køleskabet væltede ud af rammen, når man åbnede det. Husejeren og andre parkerede biler udfor garagen og da hele fronten af den var af glas, gav det meget skarpt lys ind i sengen/værelset. Det hele bar præg af en hurtig løsning mht at tjene penge? Et udeområde ved boligen trængte til en klud, kost og kærlig hånd. Alt for dyrt ifh standarden. Men området var kønt og stille - med svømmebad og lækkert supermarked tæt på.

Quiet and comfortable service apartments in a residential area a 10-15 walk from Reykjavik's city center. Both the kitchen and the bathroom were well-stocked. We were able to check-in by using the key inside the lockbox. One small hiccup we had during check-in was that housekeeping hadn't cleaned the room before our arrival, but Einar was able to come over and sort the issue our very quickly. Overall, a good stay and I'd stay here again if I visited Reykjavik.

This property is like an AirBnB, not a hotel. Nice, clean apartment with easy on-street parking. Check-in and out is via a lock box, very easy. Walking distance to tourist areas and restaurants. Overall very satisfied.

Property is in the residential section, so it is very quiet at night. About a 10-15 minute walk to city bus stop number 1, where you can pick up most tours, or the smart bus( costs extra to take the smart bus) to the tour bus terminal. The apartment had enough room for myself and 5 friends, we stayed for 7 nights, the one bathroom was ok. But it hard to find more than one in an apartment property. Some of my friends took advantage of the kitchen, which was stocked with cookware, plates, and cups. Food is expensive in town, so going to the Bonus or Kronan markets and picking up Skyr or something for breakfast, will help with costs. Overall very happy with our stay.

Wonderful restful stay

It was quiet and clean. Far from the city, but close to the geothermal pool and cafe. Just what we needed for our last night in Iceland. Laura, an employee, helped us get our ride back to the airport.

Warm and friendly. Nice communication. Since it’s for international guest, it’ll be better to have some instruction of how to use the appliance like coffee maker and stove.

This apartment is lovely and cosy, just what you need after a long day out exploring. It's a short stroll to the centre and 1 minute away from a pick up location for all the tours. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back!!
