A cheaper solo accommodation with a private bathroom. It’s close to the bus stop, pick ups for tours are easy. The room is clean and newly renovated. It’s spacious for a single occupant. Its location is close to dining and shopping. I would stay there again if I’m back in Reykjavík.

This was a great apartment with a good bed and a kitchenette so that we could prepare simple meals. It is right next to the downtown, so it was easy to access dining and shopping. It was next to the Hallgrimskirkja church, so it was easy to find our way back from city walks. There was an issue with hot water, but I believe that will be resolved for future tenants.

The apartment was tiny but clean. (The shower is extremely small.) The neighborhood was great; safe with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The apartment itself needs a bit of attention however. The shower door does not slide properly and the sink was partially clogged. (It took a good five minutes for the sink to drain fully.)

Perfect for our family

Excellent communication, even sending a message when our room was ready for check in. Appreciate the luggage storage closet. All the amenities we needed. And the location is amazing.

So so glad I decided to pick this hostel for my trip. Despite having booked the cheapest rooms from one of the cheapest hostels, the room was private, clean, quiet, and even had its own bathroom. The location was incredible and the owners were responsive and accommodating. Absolutely the best bang for your buck.

This is in a great location in the heart of the city. Spacious room with plenty of room for 6 persons. Directions and signage to the property were very thorough and made it easy to navigate. A broken item upon arrival was rapidly repaired. Very clean place with all necessary items included (towels, linens, plates, glasses, soaps, and shampoo). I highly recommend Daydream Apts for your stay.

The location was great! Near the big church, close enough to walk to city centre for shopping, dining, etc. It is at the top of a hill, so be aware that walking to this location requires walking uphill when coming from city centre or BSI bus station. The kitchenette was perfect for us. We used the fridge and microwave every day; has a coffee machine, hot plate, frying pan, dishes, glasses, cups, cutlery, and sink. A few things need to be fixed in our room - toilet seat was loose, bathroom door was difficult to close all the way, the room door was difficult to lock, and adding hooks on walls would be helpful to keep things off the floor. Sent a few messages via email and the response was immediate. Really appreciated that. Overall, it was a good place to stay for a week.

Very small room, but we had everything we need for our stay, very clean, convenient location close to the beautiful church where all the tours take their start, walkable to the center of the city and bus station. We are very thankful that we could leave our luggage before the check-in and after check-out in the hotel.

Really convenient spot in a great part of the city. It was nice to leave our luggage in a locked room and explore the city while our room was getting ready and letting us know our room was ready early was awesome. Everything was great about the guesthouse we really loved it for the most part. Except the pillows really suck (though the bed was super comfortable) and if you're 6ft or taller the shower was awful. I could barely fit in it and it made it difficult to clean myself. Other than that it was a great spot.

Great location ! Only 1 negative is this. Being that there is only 1 window that opens I believe it would be helpful if a fan was provided to help with the circulation. When I was there it was 82°. It was a little difficult sleeping without air movement.

We really enjoyed staying at Day Dream L23! It was located in the heart of Reykjavík on a residential street, which made our experience of the city more authentic. The room was cozy and warm and had everything we needed. The kitchen was super useful, as we made some of our meals at home. The hotel was a short walk to shopping, dining, the harbour and public transit. Overall amazing experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

(1) Great central location, few minutes walk to the famous church, bus stop 8 next to church is for the tour and airport pickup point. Groceries shop Bonus is within 10mins walk, perfect if you want to save money. (2)the room provides microwaves, coffee machine and kettle, even cooker, very convenient. (3) The communication with hotel is brilliant, friendly and funny, very quick response to messages, provides all details for self check-in. (4) I booked breakfast, which was delivered to the door each morning, note, there was no indication or sound when food was delivered, you need to check it not just waiting inside room. The breakfast was nice but wish have some changes as every day was the same thing. To save money, you can just buy something from Bonus. (5) I stay at smallest room with private bathroom, no issues with room size, but the smell of bathroom was bit unusual, which was the only negative point, maybe due to the ventilation of building structure. Overall, value for money and good stay 👍
