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

The location is fantastic! 5 minute stroll to the beginning of downtown, so no nighttime noise. Apartment is clean. Beds are pretty comfy.

The walls are a bit thin, but the guests aren’t too loud. Also, the cleaning service is irregular. We got new towels on day 4, and then new towels and sheets on days 5 and 7, I believe. I wasn’t too miffed, since that’s way more than an AirBnb will do, but the property does need to update it’s housekeeping claims.

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!

Lots of space...we had a 1 bedroom unit. Kitchen was well equipped. The location was ideal. Walkable to restaurants, sites, convenient to tour bus stops. Would definitely stay here again if we even return to Reykjavik.

The bathroom was a little cramped and probably could have been a bit bigger given the size of the unit. There wasn't really anywhere to leave stuff in there like a cosmetic bag. That was really the only negative about the entire place.

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.

Lovely little apartment, great location and amenities, everything you need, great value for money. very comfortable and clean. Plenty of linen and towels. It's a shame my travel dates changed and I only spent 1 out of the 2 nights there as I really enjoyed the space.

The little step between bedroom & the bathroom needs to be highlighted as I missed it walking out from the bathroom the first time and nearly put my hand through the bedroom window! literally the only complaint I have though.
