Svala Apartments by Heimaleiga

Excellent property in a prime area. Check in was smooth and communication with owners was easy. Only thing to be aware of is it is slightly tricky stairs to access, so have to be comfortable with stairs and carrying your luggage up them. Overall will stay again.

All was great , the only flaw was lack of extra pillows and towels

the property was very nice and well-kept. It was also within walking distance of many different stores and restaurants. While the check-in time was a little late in the day, communication back and forth about the ability to check in early was great.

Excellent property at an excellent location.

Nice property, easy to access, and a very comfortable living space.

Mostly perfect. Room had a decently stocked kitchen and centrally located to the downtown area. Room didn't have parking but it was a sport walk to free parking so that wasn't an issue. The room had almost everything it needed to to feel comfortable and the convenience was stellar. The only two minor things I would note is, since we were in a room with a full bed and a table, it would be nice if there were chairs for the table (not much options for if you're eating in the room). That and maybe a few more things in the kitchen for cook wear (like a baking tray or tongs). Otherwise a lovely room for the price, and I'd consider booking again for my return trip.

Parking availability was misleading. Not available for parties of two or less so you need to make your own arrangements. No elevator so be prepared to hike several sets of stairs with luggage. Located right on main strip so noisy in the evenings and overnight.

I gave everything on my review an excellent rating of 5 stars but on a scale of 1 to 5 I would give communication a 10! I so much appreciate the tools that i received from them to help me navigate my time in Reykjavík. The apartment was like the icing on the cake.

Great location and timely communications from property manager

Lets start with the bad, the bad is we stayed at 401 and there is no elevator so I had to carry our luggage all the way up to 4th floor. When we got to the room, took a shower and drain clogged right away which means they did not clean the drain down below properly. They were very attentive and very good at communicating so they took care and sent someone right away but unfortunately we could not let them in because we were so tired from our flight. The pros is everything is walkable here. If you take tours, the main bus stops are walkable. Shops and restaurants all over. They also provided kitchen items and toileties and was very generous amount which we like. They also respond very quickly even days before our check in. Overall, I would recommend this for the service and value.

After staying in a camper for 6 days we were excited to have our own bathroom and bed. The place was clean but the electricity was not on when we got there. Also the bathroom shower gets water all over the bathroom it doesn’t quite drain correctly. The bed was also two twins pushed together not the queen we thought it was. The parking was also deceiving because it said free parking but that’s only with certain units. We had to park about a 10 min walk for the free parking. The location was fantastic and the staff did respond quickly to any questions.

The hotel was fine. We unfortunately had the top floor. Best views but tricky humping your luggage up the winding stairs. Never saw anyone working there. Check in and out was easy. Thankfully through emails we were able to get our room 2 hours earlier. Free parking is pretty much not happening unless you get lucky or rent the 4 person room. If you can get by without a car it will be less stressful in the city.There is a nail spa on the ground floor of this building. Had a great massage there!!

Great location and a lovely apartment. Beautiful views from all the windows. Highly recommend!

Great location on the main restaurant and shopping street in Reykjavik. Close to the action without being disturbed by it. The studio apartment was very clean and well equipped.

The location was excellent for exploring downtown Reykjavik, the apartment was cosy, clean and modern. The kitchen was well stocked and was perfect for our trip. The shower was always piping hot, and the bed was super comfy. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location in walking distance to downtown bars and restaurants. Nicely decorated and cleanly kept space with easy communication, check in and check out. Parking available on premise and around the area on the street. Would definitely recommend.

The staff are on-hand via email. They informed us of bad weather conditions to keep us safe during our stay, and had provided a booklet of good places to buy groceries, where to eat etc. The apartment is clean and presentable. A well-stocked kitchen with all the utensils you need to cook. Warm beds, seating area, TV with Netflix for the evenings, hot shower. Very good location in one of the main shopping areas but not overly noisy. Would recommend to others.

The driveway is impossible to navigate and people illegally park in the lot frequently. Great if you didn’t rent a car and if you do I hope it’s a smart car. The apartment was pleasant however a lot of construction going on

We loved everything about the apartment. The location, the facilities,. It's your home away from home. Everything was steps away. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent location very central for restaurants and bars and also very handy for bus stop no 10 Would definitely return
