Vintage Hotel Apartments

Location location location. This place was right on the main pedestrian commercial drag. We got a suite for a family of four. Fantastic. Don’t leave without coffee & pastries at Sandholt!

The room was exceptionally well appointed. It truly was a full studio apartment. Great condition, clean and spacious. The entry, floor, and room doors are all digital touchpads using a single PIN provided on the day of arrival. It took a little trial and error at first, but worked well once you got used to it. The hotel is located on a road closed to vehicular traffic, so it requires parking either on the adjacent streets or in a parking garage a few blocks away. Not a big deal but it does require planning. We parked in the Stjörnuport parking garage overnight, and our average daily cost was less than $20USD each day. There are many shops, restaurants, and bars in the area. Please note that this thoroughfare can get pretty noisy in the evenings, particularly when the bars close. Sounds are somewhat insulated if the windows are closed. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay at the Vintage Hotel. The quality of the room compared to the daily rate far exceeded my expectations. We plan to return to Iceland for our next vacation and we will be sure to stay at the Vintage Hotel when we do.

Great staff, clean accommodation

Very nice stay

I prefer hotels because they make your bed and change your towels but this place was pretty cool. Clean, safe, near everything and allowed you to take new towels if needed.

Brilliant stay, Ideal base for exploring! Bonus having the kitchenette to save some money - Iceland is very expensive!

Loved the apartment very spacious and local to all the shops and restaurants, only downside was storage, there was hanging space but not enough draws. Also the tv kept freezing or losing sounds, not a big problem as was on holiday but on the occasion we were watching the six nations it was an issue

Excellent location and cleanliness of property.

The property was in close proximity to many different things. I had a self check in and was able to check in early as my plane landed early morning. The property was great but keep in mind it’s in the center of everything so it noisy. Also my sheets that were provided looked very dull.

Great apartments right in the heart of downtown Reykjavík. Very clean and warm with everything you need inside.

We stayed twice at this hotel, in two different rooms, and were very happy. The room we had the 2nd night was gorgeous--big windows to look out from, and a small terrace as well. Both rooms served as apartments where you could cook your own food, which can help out a lot in expensive Reykjavik. Of course, you may prefer to pay for the amazing restaurants right in the same few blocks. The only down side was the front door--it didn't always unlock with the code, but we always managed, so not a dealbreaker.

Such a great location.... was able to walk everywhere in reykjavik from such a central location! Really comfy beds after our long flight!!!

Great spot to stay at.

Der beste Platz für einen Aufenthalt in Reykjavik. Direkt in der bekannten Einkaufsstrasse/Fussgängerzone mit vielen Geschäften, Restaurants und Supermärkten in der unmittelbaren Nähe. Das Appartment mit eigener hervorragen ausgestatteter Küche ist besonders aufgrund der hohen Preise in der Stadt Gold Wert. Der kostenlose Kaffee in der Lobby und auf dem Zimmer war der perfekte Start in den Tag. Das Zimmer, die Küche und das Bad hat alles was man braucht. Wirklich perfekt! Nur dass es manchmal aus dem Bad etwas unangenehm roch, war ein kleiner Mangel. Aber ansonsten würden wir dort jederzeit wieder übernachten und können es auch nur jedem wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

No on-site staff = check-in nightmare. This hotel has no staff on-site. I arrived after midnight due to a late flight only to find myself locked out of the hotel. I rang and ran the bell until finally a security guard answered the door. He was worthless, however. He said he only did security and pointed out a small number by the keypad that I needed to call. At least they answered and said I should have received check-in instruction via email but I didn't (later discovered it went to spam). He gave me a number for the keypad to open the building door and my room door. However, when I asked him about parking, he only provided worthless information--"We don't provide any parking. Park on the street." I ended up having to stop random strangers on the street to ask how parking works in downtown Reykjavik. At 1 am these were mostly drunk bar patron stumbling home but I finally found someone helpful (and sober) enough to show me an app that I needed to download to pay for parking and explained Reykjavik's P1, P2, and P3 zone system. By the way, P1 only allows for 3 hours parking max so, in order to not have to get up early just to move my rental car to avoid a parking ticket, I had to block several blocks away in the closest P2 zone to the hotel (which allows parking all day), and drag my luggage multiple blocks to the hotel. This is the kind of helpful information that front desk staff (or a dedicated concierge at a nicer hotel) usually provide. Not having on-site staff is bad.

would stay here again :)

Beautiful penthouse! Excellent service - owner was fast at respond and very helpful. Lots of shopping close by - souvenir shopping, grocery shopping, art. Restaurants, food, drinks, everything you can think of right outside the door! I’m walking distance to rainbow road and church.

I loved the decor and the communication. The bed was superb and I love personless-checkin. That's where I'll stay in Reykjavik!

Great location and clean apt. However low former ceilings and esp if you are over 5’10 you actually have to crouch in many areas of apt

Great location other than parking. You will have to walk pretty far with your luggage. After that the location is perfect for walking to all the shops, restaurants and attractions. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was pretty large by Iceland standards. I would stay there again.
