"The apartment was in a nice area not too far from downtown. 4 bedrooms with nice beds and a decent living space/kitchen. Kitchen was well appointed and had a nespresso machine (only 6 pods - there were 8 of us). The microwave is way up over the fridge so good we had some tall people. We were there one night (coming off a cruise) which was Culture Night. Expected high price but it was pricey."

Top Vesturbær Hotel Reviews

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

8/10 Good

"The proximity to downtown was great. The room although getting tired looking was clean. We found the staff both at check in and check out extremely accommodating. The one issue I had was breakfast was definitely not worth the price. The choice and quality was good but it was not worth 100.00 Canadian for two!"
