Odinn Reykjavik Skolavordustigur Apartments

I’ve travelled all around the world but I must say, Reykjavik has my heart. In part was because of this cozy apartment that feels like home. It’s conveniently located in a central area of Reykjavík, which was walking distance to many restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Both BSI and the harbour were 10 minute walks and got to enjoy excursions outside of Reykjavík. As a female traveller, neighborhood felt safe and the building was secure. Beds were cozy, linens were clean, check in/out was seamless. We did arrive in the early morning so it was dark and couldn’t see where the key box was and contacted the hosts who replied very quickly. We’ve decided that we’re coming back next year and definitely going to stay here.

There was a steel commercial banner for a shop right below the window. With the strong wind of Reykyavick, the steel banner was making huge noise all night (imagine someone banging on a steel door all night). We could barely sleep because of that noise. The check-out time of 10am was a bit early, especially when the owner requested us to remove all the bed linen off the bed, put all dishes in the washing machine, and take out trash.

Perfectly located in the capital, lots of grocery options, souvenir shops nearby. Good space to share for 3 people, only down side is that the water from taps smelled obnoxious, be it the toilets or kitchen sink, it all smell really bad and not suitable for drinking.

Beautiful apartment in a perfect for location. Right at the start of Rainbow street. Might get loud at night, but we did not mind. Easy to find. So nice to be right outside of great shops and restaurants

The apartment is right overlooking the rainbow road so a fantastic location. Parking avaliable for 3hrs or free overnight just around yhe corner. The rest of the time if we were not out we parked for free up at the big church, only a 5 min walk away. Apartment was super lovely inside, and beds really comfy! Wish there had been sofa room for 5 ppl and not three!! Only downside was the noise from outside late at night. It was quite bad, and Fri/sat morning loads of broken glass outside the gate everywhere.. plus road sweepers at 6.30am each morning..Not the properties fault but something to bear in mind if like me your a light sleeper.. that being said i would definitely come bk! Many thanks.

The place is nicely renovated, and the area and location are convenient. However, finding our room was a challenge due to unclear directions, and communication with the hosting company was disappointing. The room was listed under a different name than expected, which caused confusion. We also noticed a broken window upon arrival. On checkout, guests are asked to complete tasks like running the dishwasher, removing bed sheets, and taking out the trash, which feels like taking on part of the cleaning responsibilities. While the location is great, it would be better if guests weren’t expected to handle so much of the cleaning themselves.

Directions to get in to the apartment were a little confusing bc of the similar sounding names of the rooms and the door code/key situation. But otherwise, very clean and nice place to stay in a central location of Reykjavik. Plenty of space and had everything needed to make it feel comfortable.

Nice apartment, great location, expensive on street parking only.

The shower was clogged and there was sewer smell in the room

It was fun being right next to rainbow road! The stairs getting to the apartment need some work, but the apartment itself was nice and had a great view. Would be a great location for people who want to be close to restaurants, shopping and night life. One challenge was finding parking and gettinf iur luggage there. We stayed on a friday night and needed to walk atleast half a mile with luggage on bumpy sidewalks (or on the road when there weren't sidewalks) to get to the apartment.

Harder to locate in the night, despite having the address, the property is in the street right in front of the church or the rainbow spot. Parking is a challenge and have to find a paid one late in the night.

Right in the middle of a shopping area and with lots of restaurants around. A tour bus bus too is nearby, as well as public transit routes making it easy to move without a car. Sofa bed was very worn and uncomfortable (both couch and pull out bed.

Amazing location, could not get better! Huge windows overlooking Rainbow Street. Great for street people watching with a cup of tea. Location to all parts of the city so easy to get to from this location. We were so pleased with our stay. Apartment was very clean and we arrived to some groceries which was incredibly helpful. Dishwasher works well. Sofa bed very large and quite comfy. Plenty of space for a group of 3, would also be OK for 4. It had a coat hanging and shoe rack area... can't tell you how helpful this was! Sounds crazy, but trust me it makes such a difference when you have huge coats and lots of dirty walking boots/shoes. The only bad point was the noise. It was very very noisy because of it's location. It was not a problem for us but bring ear plugs if prefer not to be bothered by noise. I would not let this put you off, it was a brilliant place to stay. I would definitely look to stay here for my next visit.

Picture shown as advertised as luxurious apartment was not how the actual apartment looked like. The lighting inside the kitchen area was so dark. Sofa bed was offered for 2 people but cushions were not of the same level. I’ll give it a 10/10 for location because it’s in the center of main attractions and a lot of shops/eating places around.

Amazing hosts, cute views, very helpful and lovely property

On Rainbow road. Loud 24/7 if facing the street. You will not be able to enter apartment before 3pm (with NO exceptions ) so, if you have an early flight in, you might want to consider a different place. Good walk ability to everything. Really difficult to find entrance and keys are in a different area altogether. Didn’t receive codes or info until after noon. This is to make sure you don’t enter apartment until 3pm. Very nice apartment but no shampoo/ice. They were good at communicating except sending the code to enter. We won’t stay here again bc it was so loud and need flexibility if we arrive early.

Very clean. In the center of everything

Central downtown location, walking distance to dining and shoppings, but parking is not available, need to pay to park.

I booked a property for a family of four, but unfortunately, it was set up for only two people. There were no additional beddings, blankets, or pillows provided for the other two family members. I emailed with my concerns but received no response. The directions to the property were also inadequate—the unit names didn’t match the instructions, so it took us about 40 minutes to find the right apartment. Additionally, there was no information provided that the building is in a pedestrian-only area, where cars are not allowed, which caused further inconvenience

It was very nice apartment in the heart of downtown.
