PROS - The apartment is in a great location in the main street. It was comfortable, stylish and the kitchenette helped keep the cost of eating down. CONS - If you're on the front the 24hr shop can be a bit noisy at night so double glazing would be good to sound proof. Our shower gel in shower was completely empty when we arrived and finding anyone is hard but we found the cleaners cart and topped it up ourselves. Also washing up liquid was empty so couldn't wash anything up properly. The sound and signal on the tv also kept dropping out.

The location and amenities were superb, with souvenir shops, a supermarket, and beautiful seaside views right downstairs. The apartment was well-equipped with everything needed—just bring your own toothbrush and slippers! The room was spacious, and the team's response to any inquiries was incredibly quick. They were attentive, warm, and patient, making it easy to reach out with any questions. I highly recommend enjoying a glass of wine at the wine bar downstairs. Traveling alone to Iceland can be daunting, but the Vintage team made me feel safe and very much at home. Their exceptional service truly enhanced my stay. I am deeply grateful for their hospitality and strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

We had an excellent stay at the Vintage apartments. I'm going to share some info that I wish I'd known before we went! The hotel has a perfect location in downtown Reykjavik. Everything is expensive here, but you will be on one of the main streets lined with restaurants. There is a great Italian directly opposite, but be prepared to pay - we had three pizzas, a garlic bread and three drinks which was over £165 (March 2023). There's also a bakery for croissants, bread and cakes. So if you are on a budget, make use of the kitchenette in your apartment. There are a few supermarkets nearby. You do not need to bring anything else - it has an oven with microwave, a hob, dishwasher, and fridge with ice box. There is a Nespresso coffee machine with coffee pods provided free of charge (decaf also available). They also provide dishwasher tablets, washing-up liquid, tea towel, olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper. So don't worry about bringing anything - just tea bags if you need them. All utensils are there, corkscrew etc - but there are no baking trays. So bring foil or something if you plan on cooking in the oven. The tap water is actually spring water so drinkable and soft and lovely! The bathroom has a hot rainfall shower that you won't want to leave! Again, everything is included - hand wash, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, lots of towels and toilet rolls. So bring your toothbrush, toothpaste and other toiletries, but no need to bring the others because it's included. They will service the room for you every day if you want, give new towels, but only before 11am. If you are booking excursions, ask to be picked up at Bus Stop 14, which is a five-minute walk round the corner. This is how they work - a small bus will pick you up at the bus stop, then take you to a central bus station where you join a bigger coach for the tour. On your last day, you can store your luggage free at the hotel, go down to floor -2.

The location and proximity to the water. We chose the room with a water view.We liked having a balcony and kitchenette available. We enjoyed having breakfast delivered and coffee available in the kitchen to start our day. The shower was really hot and had great water pressure. Our bed was incredibly comfortable. And the room was always very warm which helped on the very cold days. Overall we enjoyed the property very much.

As first time travelers to Iceland, we needed someone who could direct us and answer questions in real time- a front desk person or concierge. But I do think we received an almost immediate response when we sent a message. Also , in the room it would have been more practical to have a coat rack or hooks immediately as you walk into the right to leave dirty shoes and coats. And a small mat for shoes. We could find nothing to help with clean up.

The apartment was absolutely beautiful - everything was either beautiful, useful or both! Although the space was not particularly large by US standards - the bathroom, kitchen/sitting area and sleep area were very beautifully designed, with great flow and some separation between the areas to give privacy. There were not daily cleaners (which was fine!), but there was a cabinet just outside the room with extra towels and toiletries if needed - which meant we did not want for anything while there. While the place is advertised to accommodate up to 4 people, it might be a little cozy for that - although for families traveling with small kids, that would likely work fine. The location is right in the center of town with easy walking access to restaurants, a bodega across the street and easy walking distance to sightseeing, fun shops, and tour pick-up locations (specifically, bus stop #9). The entrance to the building was right on Laugavegur street, accessible via a keypad on a discrete but beautiful entrance and secure door. Inside, there was a great elevator large enough to accommodate all our luggage in one trip, but we usually took the stairs - which we also wide, well-lit, sturdy and beautifully decorated on each landing. The walls, windows, etc. were all sturdy and well-constructed and we could not hear anything from the adjacent rooms except their doors opening and closing when they were coming and going. If not for that, we could have thought we were staying in the building by ourselves. We hope to return for another trip and would absolutely stay here again!

Like any location in the middle of town, there was some street noise, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Given the great location though, I don't think that could have been helped - a happy trade-off.

The location is superb, the bed is luxury and the apartment type facilities in the room (oven, fridge, dishwasher) make life simpler than say rushing down for a hotel breakfast. Hints for people if you are staying more than 3 nights: whilst the basic room is excellent, we were there for a week and wish we had upgraded.

You receive a message prior to check out asking what time you will be checking out. Despite that, we were disturbed by the house keepers from about 50 minutes before that time. It kind of felt like you were being kicked out. Rooms 102-111 are street facing and can get loud. Room 111 is right above a shop and every time they close the door, the entire room rattles.

Great location, no check-in needed, easy entry. Unlimited coffee capsules and additional towels etc in the cupboard in the corridor was great. Beds were comfy. Shower was great. Full kitchen was very useful.

The size of the 2nd bedroom was very small and you had to climb over the first bed to reach the second. There was a bit too much style over substance with the furniture - there was very limited storage for clothes. Baking trays for the oven would be a useful addition. There was quite a bit of noise during the night and during road sweeping/bin collection early in the mornings - maybe the windows could be double glazed to help.

Perfectt location, great to have a lift in the building. Loved the comfortable bed and spacious shower with generous toiletries supplied. We liked being able to re-stock with towels etc from the cupboard on the landing, and appreciated the coffee and condiments in the kitchen. The drawer sized dishwasher was also very useful. We had no reason to contact the remote reception but felt they would have been helpful if we had done so. We would definitely recommend the Vintage Apartments to anyone lucky enough to visit Reykavik.

The microwave was quite awkward to use, being down at floor level as part of a combination oven instead of at worktop height. You could only set it running it in 30 second bursts instead of clocking up a longer time which was also inconvenient. There is probably a way to do this, but we couldn't work it out - maybe there should be some instructions in the kitchen? The door code for entry to the building and apartment could be a bit hit and miss, but we always managed to get it to work in the end.

The location is most ideal. I don’t think we could have been better situated during our first visit to the city. Second, the kitchenette is a nice addition to help offset the cost of dining out every day. Finally, the bathroom is fantastic. Large, well heated, and the shower is to die for.

The refrigerator was not operating properly, causing our first delivery of groceries to spoil while we were away on a tour. Reception was swift to have the issue addressed, but the unit just never seemed to hold a suitable temperature. The freezer was fine though. This is a small detail, otherwise I enjoyed everything else about the property.

We booked a penthouse studio for a week. It was a very comfortable stay in a central location, walking distance from most attractions and restaurants/bars. You can even walk to and from BSI station where you take the bus for the airport. There is a Bonus supermarket just 4 minutes away. Very nice furnishing and window view. Easy check in/out. Despite the fact there is no reception they are very responsive to your requests when you reach out through message or phone call. Excellent WiFi. Overall I’d definitely stay there again.

Because it so central there is some noise, even on the 3rd floor, it’s like you have the windows open even though they’re closed. It was mostly during Friday and Saturday nights, though the rest of the week it was fine. There were food remnants in the oven when we arrived. I’m sure that if we addressed the issue they would have sorted it out but since we didn’t really use it we didn’t issue the matter.
