Hellissandur Vacations

Great place if you need to stay in Reykjavik with your family. Can't beat the location, it is very close to everything: few steps away from a famous bagel place and at least half a dozen of restaurants, literally across the street from the old port and bus stop #4, only few minutes away from a center city and at least 2 grocery stores. Apartment is clean and spacious for 4 people and has all the essentials including full kitchen and washing machine. One thing to note: hot water has a pretty strong sulfur smell (it seems to be the case in many places in Reykjavik). Didn't bother me much but my wife and daughter kind of hated it. There is no designated parking lot but plenty of street parking nearby and we were mostly walking everywhere.

This property is a boutique hotel located steps from center city. Great view of the. City.

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Checking in was a puzzle. You have to go to the main office downtown to access any of the hotels

The room was very clean, and as party of 3 they had already prepared the extra bed for us which was very nice. The location was convenient especially if you’re driving a car, parking was available right in front (or in back) of hotel. We had an issue with our door code not working when we came back late at night (11:30pm) but I was able to use the monitor/device by the front door to call for help. She was able to quickly get it resolved.

We found the unit to be not particularly clean, with a musty smell. The sheets were coarse with the occasional very small stain. While the listing may have noted that this is a self check in unit with limited parking, we missed these notes and were surprised by both. We secured the last hotel provided parking spot and saw multiple vehicles arrive to find that there were no available parking spots. The route from the parkade to your room appears to run through various storage/network rooms. All in all, we had better hotels in Reykjavik for the same price. Not recommended.
