Reykjavik Residence Hotel

Reykjavik Residence Hotel is an apartment hotel at Hverfisgata 45 in the heart of central Reykjavik, Iceland. Hverfisgata runs parallel to Laugavegur, one block nearer the sea, and this address is within a few minutes' walk of the Harpa concert hall, the Old Harbour, Austurvöllur square and the shops and restaurants of Laugavegur. Hallgrímskirkja church is a short uphill walk, and the Hlemmur bus hub is a little further east. The position makes almost every central sight reachable on foot, and tour pick-up points are close.

The property offers self-catering accommodation in Studios, One-bedroom Apartments and Two-bedroom Apartments, each with a fully equipped kitchen. Listed amenities include a kitchen and Wi-Fi. The kitchens are a significant advantage in Iceland, where restaurant meals are expensive, because guests can buy groceries from nearby supermarkets and cook their own meals. The larger apartments suit families and groups, while the Studios are practical for couples and solo travellers on longer stays. There is no large on-site restaurant described, so breakfast and dinner are generally self-prepared or taken at the many cafes and restaurants nearby.

Service character is independent and flexible, with the feel of a private apartment rather than a full-service hotel, so guests should check arrival, key-collection and housekeeping arrangements when booking. Indicative rates run from about ISK 25,000 to 45,000 (roughly $200-360) per night for a double room, depending on the apartment size and season, with summer commanding the highest prices. The central location suits visitors who plan to explore on foot and join Golden Circle, South Coast and Northern Lights tours that depart from central stops. Because the area includes busy nightlife streets, requesting an apartment away from the road can help with sleep on weekend nights.
