Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel
From
421.85 €
“Apartments with equipped kitchen 200 metres from Hallgrímskirkja, the lighthouse-cathedral that dominates the city.”
Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel occupies a contemporary building on Vatnsstigur, residential artery a stone's throw from Lake Tjörnin. We sleep in apartments of 35 to 80 m², light parquet, Bosch kitchen, anthracite grey Scandinavian sofa, large windows overlooking the colourful roofs of the centre. Lighting is soft, materials sober (blonde wood, Icelandic wool, brushed steel), acoustics excellent. The formula suits families who want to prepare their meals and couples who stay a week, from 421,85 € the night. The airport shuttle service simplifies arrival (Keflavík 50 km away). No restaurant on site, but Laugavegur, the shopping street, begins 300 metres away.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this address to travellers who prefer apartment autonomy to the service of a classic palace. It is ideal for families with children (kitchen for breakfasts, space to spread out belongings), couples on a road trip (fixed base before setting off on the ring road), stays of more than three nights. Business travellers on long missions also find their account here, with high-performance Wi-Fi and desks in the suites.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building dates from the 2010s, sober Nordic architecture in light concrete and wood. Recessed facade, large double-glazed windows (reinforced thermal and acoustic insulation, Icelandic winter obliges). Minimalist interiors: whitewashed oak parquet, white walls, Scandinavian furniture signed HAY and Muuto. Standard ceiling height (2,60 m), but well-thought volumes, integrated storage, maximised natural light.
