スヴァラ アパートメンツ(Svala Apartments by Heimaleiga)

Great place to stay in central Reykjavik and bonus points for being close to a bus stop for our tours! Very good value for money as they all have their own kitchen and bathroom. Lovely clean tidy and comfy. Easy access with codes to the door. Would recommend

We really enjoyed our stay! the apartment was lovely and clean and had everything you need for a short stay? We were ok with the stairs and the hosts were very attentive if you needed them? It could get a little noisy at night sometimes with people passing but it is in the centre of town so it’s to Would definitely return here if we visit Iceland again

Amazing apartment - location is just brilliant and apartment has everything you need. So spacious and such good value. We hired a car so we’re pleased to see there was car park. Absolutely loved Iceland and so pleased we booked Svala for the trip.

After staying in a camper for 6 days we were excited to have our own bathroom and bed. The place was clean but the electricity was not on when we got there. Also the bathroom shower gets water all over the bathroom it doesn’t quite drain correctly. The bed was also two twins pushed together not the queen we thought it was. The parking was also deceiving because it said free parking but that’s only with certain units. We had to park about a 10 min walk for the free parking. The location was fantastic and the staff did respond quickly to any questions.

The hotel was fine. We unfortunately had the top floor. Best views but tricky humping your luggage up the winding stairs. Never saw anyone working there. Check in and out was easy. Thankfully through emails we were able to get our room 2 hours earlier. Free parking is pretty much not happening unless you get lucky or rent the 4 person room. If you can get by without a car it will be less stressful in the city.There is a nail spa on the ground floor of this building. Had a great massage there!!

Fabulous apartment right in the centre of reykjavík. We had a studio apartment for 3 of us and it was huge with separate sleeping area with 2 beds and 2 beds in main area with dining table and well equipped kitchen. Little extras like a Nespresso machine with capsules, nice toiletries in bathroom and A communal balcony on the 4th floor where we watched the northern lights just made it perfect. Cheaper than a hotel and we cooked meals bought from the Bonus supermarket 2 mins away so saved a fortune on eating out.

I would not recommend Svala apartments at all. Our flight arrived earlier than check in and we weren’t allowed to check in early, while several other guests arrived early and checked in with no problems. Our luggage was delayed and we experienced several problems when they arrived the day after we did, Because the airport delivered the bags but didn’t know where it was located. The taxi drivers didn’t know either, we finally told them to drop up off at the Hotel across the street. The hotel across the street was very helpful with everything we needed, including letting our luggage get dropped off there. Our only communication was through emails. The room was hot most of the time. When we opened the windows, it was far too loud.

We loved our stay at Svala Apartments. We stayed in the penthouse and it was perfect for us as a family of four. Exactly as described with a king bed in bedroom and large sofa bed in lounge. Clean, comfortable and modern. Fitted kitchen with all basic kitchen utensils provided. Two lovely balconies. Deep in snow during our stay but my children enjoyed playing out on them. Door codes rather than keys were very useful. The location was ideal for exploring the city / near bus stop 9 for tour pick ups. A very useful guide to the apartment, recommendations for shopping / restaurants etc was provided. Very helpful. Lovely restaurants and shops nearby. The managers were very helpful and responsive to communication. On request they organised a camp bed for my son as he didn’t want to share with his sister. I would definitely use again and recommend to others.

Travelled as a family of four, Unfortunately on arrival we could not park at the Apartment as the roads were closed for the festivities, not Svala's fault but maybe could have given us notice? Once we got in they were warm and clean and that is all you can ask for when it's bitter cold outside, Spacious and exactly as described. Little limited regarding the utensils as not even a tray to cook anything in the oven which might be something to add, only four knives etc so had to keep washing up to use them. Bathroom nice and modern and beds really comfy, great location too. Once we were able to park around the back, people seemed to park where they liked (in our spot) so we then had to park in other spots which wasn't ideal, also leaving cars in stupid positions so difficult to exit. Not Svala's fault but ignorant guests and shop workers..! Over all enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Thanks Svala for allowing us to stay.
