The apartment included a bathroom, bedroom, living room, and fully equipped kitchen (including microwave, 2 burners, dishwasher, fridge, sink). I went to a local grocery to purchase breakfast and snack items which provided ease and saved money. I was pleasantly surprised at the size and cleanliness of the apartment as well as its location, approximately 2 minutes from a main bus stop pick up for tours. It was close to neighbourhood restaurants and 5 minutes from the main shopping area as well as close to points of interest. Towels were changed nightly, unless I requested otherwise. Access was as instructed, and storage was provided for several hours after I checked out. The housekeeping staff I met were friendly and informative, and clearly worked diligently to maintain a high level of cleanliness.

Nothing.

Good location, close to the pond and major attractions (all within 5-30 min walk).Has a small fridge, toaster, jug and hot plates so can prepare basic meals. Spacious living area to repack bags. Close to bus stop 2 for flybus pick up.

The units on the top floor have a steep staircase. If I had known I would have requested a lower floor - then you only have the outside stairs. I was worried about my heavy bag but it was manageable.

I had a wonderful stay. Perfectly situated within walking distance to attractions and bus stops while also maintaining some calm away from the busy atmosphere of the main streets. The room with balcony was just as pictured and had a good view of the pond and frikirkjan. It was fairly quiet, the only time I heard noise was some guy snoring in another room. I only heard it one or two nights; thankfully I travel with white noise and ear plugs. Kitchen was perfect size for me.. Everything was very clean.. Convenient luggage storage really helped. I would stay here again but would def want the same room with the balcony and view.

Only think not to like was the minor inconvenience of loud snoring guy. :) I feel bad for his wife. Other than that, it was quiet and guests respected the posted quiet hours.

No need to hand over keys as it was self service! Easy to get in.Apartment is close to bus stop 2 where all the tourist excursions pick up, theres a shop at 5' walking distance,quite location near the lake... really nice. Inside the apartment is not luxury but luxury is the fact that your room gets done every morning...the apartment is serviced as in a hotel which was unexpected and Great! Fresh towels, coffee and tea, kitchen towels... host super responsive... answer immediately after sending a mail.

Actually there's nothing to complain

Perfect Location. Very convenient get to local sites around Reykjavik. Little shop just up the hill for snacks etc. Plenty of parking in P3 areas (cheapest parking areas in the city) Nice little kitchen with all the bits you need to make meals.also the little dishwasher makes life easier. Balcony to catch the Aurora on a clear night. Very quiet area with little traffic. Super comfy beds that were very welcome after the day hiking.

Only two chairs in the main living area tha are not so comfortable. Definitely needs a couch.

Castle House Luxury Apartments are ideally located for a short break in Reykjavík. Right in the heart of the characterful Old Town area, by the lake and just a three minute walk from the main bus routes. There are some excellent restaurants just a short walk away, as well as a 24/7 supermarket. The Old harbour is also nearby. The apartment was clean and very cosy. Decorated with typical Scandinavian flair, it makes the most of every bit of space. It was pretty well equipped for a small apartment and we managed to cater for ourselves to save a bit of money ( it is expensive to eat out in the city) Extra marks awarded for the gorgeous big red armchairs in the living area!

There was virtually nothing we didn’t like. If I’m being very picky I would have liked an extra pillow! Some people may take some getting used to the sulphurous smell from the hot water, but when you realise it comes straight from the ground at up to 85 degrees C, you start to love it!

The apartment has everything needed in a compact space. I wish we had looked around more thoroughly when we arrived - there was an excellent guide to the local area in a binder on the table. it covered issues like parking, local grocery stores with their hours and general helpful advice. We found it on our last day. The bed was really comfortable. And the location was close to Bus Stop 1 for tours and a shot walk to restaurants and shopping.

As others mentioned, the key pad on the door for entrance was a little tricky. we had to call for assistance a couple of times.

Location is PERFECT 👌 5 mins from centre of town tucked behind a beautiful little church - quiet but central. Staff team friendly, helpful and responsive - do a clean and tidy every day. Replenish welcome pack of tea and coffee daily (not breakfast tea tho). Compact with everything you need but with enough space for separate dining table, reading/TV chairs and sleeping - bed really comfy.

Nothing not to like - we were there 6 days and had everything we needed - will definitely be staying again!

The apartment was lovely, although it was quite small but we’ve managed. We were walking distance for pretty everywhere especially downtown as it only took 15-20mins to the main city. The host was great and very easy to get hold though, it was lovely and very clean and warm! Though I do wish they had a washing machine and that would have been perfect! But aside from that we’ve really enjoyed staying here and would stay again if we’re going to go back to Iceland!

Everything was as expected, arrived early and we managed to get in straight away which was lucky, room cleaned and replacements were given. Very convenient to be near the main bus terminal and city centre. Quiet outside even with the windows open and the building as guests are reminded to keep noise low at night time.

Honestly there wasn’t anything to not like, everything was expected. I wouldn’t recommend for more than two as the apartment wouldn’t have the space to be comfortable
