Historic apartment hotel in central Reykjavik with daily fresh bread delivery and fully equipped kitchens

Self-Catering Apartments in Historic Buildings

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel occupies several historic buildings within a few minutes' walk of each other, including the Artisan House and the Embassy building. The apartments offer fully equipped kitchens with induction hobs, microwaves, and dishwashers, along with soundproofed rooms and flat-screen TVs. Room types range from studios to three-bedroom apartments, with the Prime Minister's Suite and Royal Suite providing additional living and dining space.

Daily Breakfast Basket and Fresh Bread Delivery

Each morning, Residence Hotel Reykjavik delivers a breakfast basket with cheese, ham, yogurt, fruit, and hard-boiled eggs, plus a fresh loaf of sourdough bread from Sandholt bakery. The basket often provides enough food for a second meal, allowing guests to make packed lunches for day trips. Milk, orange juice, and cereal are also stocked in the room, and guests receive free drink vouchers when they decline daily housekeeping.

Central Location Near Major Attractions

The hotel sits just around the corner from Laugavegur, Reykjavik's main shopping street, and is within walking distance of the Sun Voyager monument and Hallgrímskirkja. Bus stop 14, used by many tour operators, is a 10-minute walk from most buildings. Keflavik International Airport is a 50-minute drive, with an airport pick-up service available for an additional fee.

24-Hour Reception and Concierge Assistance

Reykjavík Residence Hotel provides a 24-hour reception where staff can book tours and give recommendations. Guests have access to communal laundry facilities with free detergent in select buildings. A business centre, fax and photocopying services are also available at the main reception building.

Accommodations for Families and Groups

Reykjavik Residence offers family suites and two-bedroom two-bathroom apartments with flexible bedding options, including sofa beds and travel cribs.
