Olafsvellir Vacations from NT$116,032

Better than I expected, better then some Marriot Hotel stays I have been in recently. Roomier too, for the three of us. And the beds were very comfortable. Word of warning, we were facing right over a noisy bar (a fun place without question). But Midtown Reykjavik thought ahead and left three sets of ear ear plugs for us. We knew this was a "self check-in property with no reception". They had good security and a quaint service kiosk where I was able to quickly speak to someone. Service was good to as they also managed to arrange an early check-in for us.

Great location, very walkable to many of the places we wanted to see right in Reykjavik. There is no parking available, it's all the paid city street parking using the official city parking app. But it's also just a couple blocks away from P2 and P3 parking zones which allow overnight parking. Cute little apartment with essentially a queen bed and a fold out sofa bed. The stove/oven/fridge/dishes/pots/pans were excellent. Includes a kettle and a nespresso coffee machine. No microwave. Free laundry in the laundry room. Really nice overall. Was a great spot from which to visit the city and the surrounding areas of Iceland.

It was in a great area where you could walk to all the shops and restaurants very easily. We did have a problem with lights not working in the bathroom but they immediately put us in another room which was very nice.

This was a small, simple apartment that has a basic kitchenette, which is essential for any Iceland vacation because of the cost of food there. The parking was a bit confusing, we thought we would have access to parking but we later learned that our unit didn't have an assigned spot after all. Accessing the unit was easy with the provided codes, no issues there. The unit had blackout curtains which really helps when days are long. The location was great. The unit was on the 4th floor, no elevator, so be prepared for stairs. This is out of the hosts' control, but the water in this building seemed to be more smelly than other places I have stayed in the country. The smell did not go away even after letting the cold water run for a while. I would recommend that you buy water before you arrive if you are sensitive to smells. I just have one suggestion for the hosts : please consider installing a shower door.

Quick response and clear communication. The price is good for what you get, and the location is convenient for a short stay.
