Enjoyed our stay, only thing that could have made it better would be a fan. It got a little stuffy at night. Overall great stay

Wonderful! The apartment was spotless and well-appointed and the location could not be beat. Steps away from rainbow street, the cat cafe and the grocery store, it was basically a 5 minute walk to anywhere you wanted to be! We did not experience any super loud noise but it did get warm, something we were prepared for. Will 100% stay here on our next trip to Reykjavik.

My stay at ALVA Apartments Hallveigarstigur was absolutely amazing. The apartment was spotless, modern, and fully equipped with everything I needed from a full kitchen to comfortable bedding and blackout curtains that made for perfect rest. The location is unbeatable, within walking distance to downtown attractions, restaurants, and shops. It truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reykjavik!

Highly recommend. I enjoyed my time at this property. It was well suited for 2 adults and 2 small children. It was right around the corner from the Main Street in downtown Iceland. Easy to walk to shops, restaurants and very centrally located to get to different activities in a short amount of time. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Nice apartment. Well stocked. Close to grocery and main tourist spots were walkable. Parking was not in the same premise but found a parking garage nearby.

The property was a good locationfor access to transportation, food, shopping and activities. Grocery store on site was good.generslly the place was quiet but back side of building was noisy in early mornings do to off loading of deliveries. Room was clean, bed comfortable but there was a musty smell in hallway. No facecoths provided with towels. Most annoying thing was communication. Had selected payment on arrival but request for payment was made a few days before arrival thru a website with no apparent link to property. When asked for clarification just got appeared to be an automated reply. When I didn't pay my room was cancelled the day I left for Island. Managed to reboot and paid at time of booking. Details on check-in only arrived after landing in Iceland and were not very clear.

Great Property! Right next door to the Kronan Grocery store, which is perfect. Walking distance to everything. Comfy beds. Amazing balcony. Nice hot tub. Kitchen has lots and pans, plenty of dishes and cups, glasses etc. washer dryer was a nice bonus. I would definitely give this place a look.

The apartment was good. The "shower glass" could have been more clean. The kitchen has everything you need except a dish soap. Using the sofa as a bed for 2 people is okay for one night. Would recommend the apartments.

Rented a penthouse with hot tub. Hot tub was broken and non functioning. Never notified about this before stay. Received poor communication when reached out to property management about the issue. Never resolved.

We arrived at 2am and the code to open the door to the apartment didn’t work, so the hassle to call someone and everything. No soap.

Location, location, location.

Great location. Close to EVERYTHING downtown. Be aware that the parking fees around the apartments are P1... the most expensive in Reykjavik. Park a couple of blocks to the south for P2, or leave your car in a parkade a few blocks north to save a BUNCH of money - dowload the "Parka" app before arriving to find where the closest parking is and make sure you're paid up. Room was comfortable, very thankful for blackout curtains! Guest laundry was a blessing after being on the road for over a week. Some downsides though. Building looks like it's undergoing renovations. When we checked in, there was still garbage in the garbage cans and there were crumbs in the cutlery tray. Other than that, was a nice place to stay in the heart of Downtown Reykjavik.

Misleading description lead to big disappointment

Location in the city is good, and self check in easy enough. So disappointed on walking in to room 308. After reading all the flowery description about Alva being pinnacle of luxury meticulously crafted, breath taking city views, sophisticated atmosphere, it is nothing more than a standard 3 star apartment room, with a view over a large double carpark, exterior refrigeration fans and a truck loading dock (most of the level 3 apartments on that side of the building will have similar view) and as the Alva is on top of a supermarket the noise of fork lifts and truck staff moving things in and out of the supermarket in the mornings is very disturbing. There is no light in the entry/wardrobe area and its very difficult to see inside the wardrobe, the small eating table has stains over the surface. Maybe on 4th floor, on opposite side of the building you may see some city sights. I really wish that owner/s of these investment apartments would not be misleading in the website and booking platforms' description. It is very pricy for what you get and and disappointing. I would have added photo but doesnt give oprion from gallery.

The apartment building is centrally located in one of Reykjavik’s main city centre and the “rainbow” street. The aparthotel is on the 3rd and 4th levels of the building and a walking distance from the Hallgrimskirkja and a 15m walk to the BSI bus terminal where the Flybus airport buses and Reykjavik Excursion tour coaches arrive and depart. The unit was clean and tidy on our arrival. It is bright and spacious enough for a couple or two people travelling together. The bed and linens smell fresh. The unit is also furnished with cooking facilities such as cooktop, kettle, toaster and coffeemaker as well as a kitchenette equipped with a dishwasher and fridge. Access to our apartment unit was clearly communicated by e-mail with simple and straightforward instructions. A big plus for this property was its proximity to a supermarket (Kronan was only a few steps away from Alva’s entrance door) and many other dining venues nearby. The only downside of this property was the noise from other guest rooms. On the day we checked in, there was a party in one of the units on top of us and the sound of dance music carried on until the early morning making it difficult for us to sleep in peace. The succeeding nights were much quieter although the sounds of motor vehicles and pedestrians were still audible from our room. Overall, we enjoyed our 3 nights stay in Alva and will book this property if Iceland beckons us again.

The room was stuffy when the blackout curtains were used. It was a noisy area since the bars are open much later than we have been used to and the people love to drink and sing in the streets. Great location for walking!

If I could give this hotel 10 stars out of 5 I would, this is the best location I’m surprised they’re not charging more. The good the kitchen is excellent, the living room is excellent, the view from the penthouses are excellent, the fixtures are all super modern and very premium the bathroom had a washer and drier just everything about this place was excellent, if you’re reading this review coming from America you have to stay here no need to do any more research. The only bad is bedroom is right by the walkway and so if it’s summer and you open the window you won’t get that perfectly quiet serene sleep if you chose a penthouse but by 9-10pm things get quiet so if you’re an early sleeper don’t stay here if you want to be in the center of it all with premium everything stay here.

Very cute place. I would def stay here again. There was some construction early in the morning but other than that no issues. There was a grocery store next door with was helpful. Stores were in working distance. My only complaint would be a general thing in Iceland which was parking was hard to find during the day and it was $15 every 3 hours.
