The Vintage Apartment Hotel is an excellent choice for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Reykjavík while enjoying more space and flexibility than a traditional hotel room.
The apartments are comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed. Having a kitchenette and separate living space makes a noticeable difference, especially after a long day exploring Iceland’s waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, and coastal scenery. It provides a welcome opportunity to relax and recharge before the next adventure.
One of the hotel’s standout features is its location. Situated just off Reykjavík’s main shopping and dining district, it places many of the city’s most popular attractions within easy walking distance, including Hallgrímskirkja, Harpa, the Old Harbor, countless cafés, restaurants, and bakeries.
Another appreciated touch is the complimentary premium coffee available on the first floor. It’s the perfect way to start a day in Iceland, whether you’re heading to the Golden Circle or simply wandering Reykjavík’s charming streets.
The building is clean, secure, and remarkably quiet considering its downtown location. My favorite feature, however, was the wonderfully substantial automatic entrance door. It feels less like a hotel entrance and more like a portal connecting two worlds. One moment you’re enjoying the calm comfort of the hotel, and seconds later the door glides open and deposits you directly onto Reykjavík’s lively main street, surrounded by cafés and shops.
