Grettisborg Apartments

Quiet, safe, clean, great location. Some noise from other apartments (people moving around, doors closing) but overall very quiet. Close walk to downtown and attractions.

Great place to stay. Close to city square and not too far from bus station. Highly recommend.

Decent apartment to stay for a week in Reykjavik. The apartment is practically on the main street in the city, and is a block away from all restaurants and bars. The main street (Laugavegur) sees a lot of tourism, the neighborhood is fairly safe. Parking is on the street and is paid depending on the timing. We did not have much trouble finding parking.

Advertised as comfortable for 4 persons. With luggage we could not move. Did not receive the e-mail telling us how to get in, etc. Must have been sent after we already left US and went to spam. When we finally figured out how to get the key it was listed as #4 apartment but key opened #2. Still not certain we were in the right place. Overall dirty with dead spiders. Too dusty underneath beds to store suitcases. Luckily we were there on weekend so parking turned out ok, but if we were there on weekday would have been quite tricky. Should have been told about this ahead of time. Loved the country and the city and once we got used to the situation and since we were not in the apartment all that much it was doable but by far the worse accommodations we had in Iceland in a 9 day trip.

Basically a small two room efficiency apartment (as we would say in the US). Centrally located. Easy walk to main shopping streets and Reykjavik sites. No staff on site but received emails with good instructions on how to find our key and let ourselves in. The apartment also had a binder of all the useful information you could want. Free wifi and satellite tv. While channel surfing we ran across three adult chat channels featuring naked women so parents be vigilant. Probably a great vacation memory for our teenage son. Bed in main bedroom (two twins pushed together) was super comfortable and the second bed in the kitchen/dining room/main room was a futon that was fairly comfortable. Plenty of bedding and towels supplied. Apartment was very clean. Both of the two major tour bus companies and airport shuttle do pickups and drop offs here. It's a small place (we had apt #4) but for sleeping and showering it was just fine. Separate laundry room on site. Can be a little noisy when other guests come and go in the middle of the night but Reykjavik in the summer is known for early and late arrivals due to the flight schedules so you make due. We would stay here again.
