Alfred's Studios

Alfred’s Apartments turned out to be a brilliant last-minute find after I accidentally made a complete mess of my previous booking. The location was absolutely terrific — right in the heart of Reykjavík and ideal for exploring the city. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the bed was wonderfully comfortable, and having a small kitchen was an absolute lifesaver. Given Reykjavík prices, where even a bowl of soup can set you back nearly $20, being able to prepare the occasional meal made a real difference. Everything is self-service for check-in, but the owner/manager was incredibly helpful and made sure I got in safely despite my rather last-minute circumstances. For Reykjavík, this felt like exceptionally good value.

Centrally located clean rooms with functional kitchen.

Bright and clean studio. Quiet at night. Street parking (less expensive than garage). We stayed in the room with a balcony at the top. Staircase is steep when carrying luggage up, just an FYI. Beds were comfortable and we didn’t need heat as the room was naturally warm. Small kitchenette was well stocked. Location is close to shops and restaurants. Would recommend.

Location is perfect, cute recognizable house, and it was so nice having a clean comfy warm place to relax in between adventures. We got upgraded to the balcony studio unit and the view was great. Small but perfect for 2 people. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only things that weren't perfect were: -the dish brush had hair all up in it, luckily there were some clean sponges but that brush was gross -we never found the shared laundry room that was advertised, but we ended up not having time to do laundry anyway so we never asked Besides that we loved it. Never heard any of the other guests. Met a staff member on the way out and she was lovely. Thank you for making our stay possible!

This is a clean, well appointed studio with a very friendly and responsive staff. Location is excellent.

Communication with them is fine. No shampoo, no conditioner though. The hand soap was placed in the shower. I think it makes sense to include both hair products as amenities if you also have hand and body(?) soap. The shower curtains smell like pee, and it’s unbearable (it spreads across the entire apartment). Long strands of hair were also left on the towels placed on the bed. Fridge also has a strange sour smell to it.

The apartment is good, clean and also have kitchen tool. The location is good.

Loved staying at Alfred's studios - 15 minute walk to the 14 bus stop for the flybus and tours; and 2 blocks from all the shops and restaurants. My tall husband was very happy with the bed lengths, there was everything we needed to cook breakfast. One thing to note - no elevator and the stairs are steep, somewhat narrow and winding so try to get a lower floor room if you bring luggage.

It was a great location. The communication was helpful. It was very cozy and I wished we could have stayed longer.

Really enjoyed our stay at Alfred's Studios. A short walk to the bay, lots of dining options around, and with two teenagers it was great to have more than a hotel room. The communication with the staff was excellent.

Our apartment was centrally located & within walking distance of downtown and many different sights in Reykjavík. Our unit had all the amenities that we needed during our stay.

Great communication. I loved the room. I got, kitchen was wonderful. TV worked well, fairly quiet, I had the top floor, which was great! Easy to get in with the code, I really enjoyed this place.

Great location

apartment is in a nice area close to the main part of the city. The access to the busing system was very easy and convenient. We will definitely stay there again and finally the weather was also excellent.

This place is fine but not sure how it got the extremely high ratings, especially for the price. The space is small but clean. There weren’t any major issues but given the very high ratings on Expedia, I expected more. The bedsheet doesn’t really fit the sofa bed and the sofa bed mattresses were not in good shape. The shades were not dark or even close to anything that helps with sleep when there are 23 hours of daylight. The windows are super thin, so you can hear everything from people walking on the sidewalk below and across the street. It was quite noisy the night we stayed with obviously drunk people singing and having a good time. Harmless enough, but loud and disruptive when you are jet lagged and trying to sleep. Street parking was easy and convenient and the place is close to the main tourist areas. One major warning especially if you are a young family - the nearby parking garage that has cheapest parking about 2 blocks away - we stepped over several (probably 8-10) used hypodermic needles on a staircase between levels. I never felt unsafe in the neighborhood but that was a bit disturbing. They were nice to let us check in about an hour earlier than listed and were friendly and responsive to our messages and questions. Overall fine but certainly not the wonderful experience we expected.

We liked the cleanliness and location of the property, however, we did Not know that there was no elevator and the stairs were very steep, small circular steps that made it very hard to take our heavy suitcases up one at a time to the top floor. It was not expected, but perhaps they said in the listing, we didn't see it, and at 70+ years old with a heart attack history, it was more than I'd like to have for a challenge.

Great place to stay. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Convenient for town and excursions etc Would use again

Lovely little appartment close to everything.

Nice, cheerful apartment in a great location.

A little small overall but suitable for an emergency night due to winter weather-related road closures.
