아일랜드 아파트먼트

Hostess and host are both helpful and friendly. We arrived early and were allowed to store our luggage. The room was clean. What we liked most was that there was a big window that can be opened and the room is very bright. In addition the location of the apartment is very convenient. Bus stop 14 is about 5-6mins walk. And there are nice restaurants around the area. The church is nearby too. The host was kind enough to let us store our luggage on the day when we checked out. Overall it’s a nice stay. It added to the good memories of our Iceland trip.

The room is clean and easy to stay! A good experience!

저는 매우 특이한 상황에 처해 있었습니다. 레이캬비크에서는 이전에 거주할 수 있는 옵션이 없었기 때문입니다. Island Apartments의 주인은 내 상황을 매우 이해하고 즉시 스튜디오를 마련해 주었습니다. 처음에는 하룻밤만 예약했는데 갑자기 하룻밤이 필요하다는 것을 알게 되었고, 그녀는 매우 이해심이 많았고 사전 경고 없이 같은 방에 머물 수 있도록 허락해 주었습니다. 지난 주말은 제 인생에서 최악의 주말 중 하나였습니다. 제가 그곳에 머무를 수 있도록 유연하고 깨끗하며 개방적으로 대해주신 Island Apartments에 얼마나 감사한지 말로 표현할 수 없습니다. 레이캬비크에 계시다면 이곳은 주요 쇼핑 거리인 라우가베구르(Laugavegur) 바로 옆에 있고 할그림스키르캬(Hallgrimskirkja)에서 1km 미만 거리에 있는 환상적인 위치입니다. 객실은 깨끗하고 모든 숙박 기간에 필요한 모든 편의 시설을 갖추고 있습니다. 꼭 추천합니다.

What can you say about a comfortable room that is clean and in a good location but is on a busy street and above a restaurant? The studio apartment I was in barely accommodates a solo traveler so I'm not sure how more than one person could stay there. There was no room for a single suitcase let alone double if two people are in the studio. The other con is the location. Although it is centrally located, you can hear the buses, the late night revelers, the cars playing loud music ... you get my drift. Although the website describes the rooms as soundproof, that might mean the walls but that doesn't apply to the windows. The windows aren't insulated and even with them closed, you can still hear the street noise. For some reason, management has decided not to provide blackout curtains which are essential for the summer months when it never gets dark. The shades just didn't cut it. Strangely, being above an Indian restaurant, you couldn't smell it in the room. If the room was anywhere else, I would give it a better review but since I did not sleep well due to the noise which could be remedied with soundproof windows, I'm giving it a 3-star review.

Walking distance to places of interests, and even to bus stops where the tours pick you up. Every morning we would to a nice cafe, or walk to a nice restaurant for lunch and dinner. The place has everything you need. We have a two year old, and the owners made sure we have everything we need. Maybe just an advice would be some hooks at the bathroom to hang towels, and a magnet for the door to stay open if you are carrying heavy stuff. Other than this, we had a lovely stay, and will come back in a heartbeat.

Our location and amenities were excellent, very friendly welcoming by a manager who explained the workings of the studio as there is no concierge. Our communication with the manager was thru email then on . If we had any question, anything else , email was promptly answered. The place was also handy for making a quick meal because we enjoy the occasional home made food. The tours we scheduled were also happy with our location, easy pick up and drop off. We also enjoyed the quiet peace at night , all in all positive experience!
