Great place to stay as it’s very walkable to restaurants and museums. It is a little louder outside but goes with what you would expect in the middle of town. The breakfast was simple but very good. I stayed in the Tannery and loved the whole idea of these “homes”.

This hotel was pleasantly quiet and in a sideline in the middle of all the hustle and bustle in the City Center, Reykjavík we loved the way the rooms were set up. It was neat, clean, immaculate, and developed. They also impressed us with a nice touch of leaving a breakfast basket in our room and fresh bread in the morning from a nearby bakery. We enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend the Reykjavík residence hotel to anyone visiting Reykjavík for business or leisure.
