Svala Apartments

The driveway is impossible to navigate and people illegally park in the lot frequently. Great if you didn’t rent a car and if you do I hope it’s a smart car. The apartment was pleasant however a lot of construction going on

Perfect location for someone wanting to walk to everything. Could be loud at night as it is on the main shopping street. Loved our stay there and recommend to anyone. Parking can be a bit expensive in the parking garage down the street. So if you are there for some time the bigger suites with the onsite parking may be worth the extra money. Would recommend checking out the “free” citywalk tour. Easy walking distance and get to see a bunch of Reykjavík.

Highly recommend the Svala Apartments if you’re visiting Iceland and planning to be based in Reykjavík! Our unit (301) was the perfect size for 2 people, everything was clean and there are nice big windows (which let in a lot of light when you want them to - otherwise, the blackout curtains are perfect for blocking the midnight sun). Also very conveniently located - we were able to walk all around downtown and easily catch our tour buses at bus stop 10. The self-check-in with door/key codes is also really easy - it’s always nice not to worry about losing or accidentally deactivating a physical key. If I make it back to Reykjavík, will certainly stay at Svala Apartments again!

Fantastic clean apartment close to all the shops and restaurants. Great place to have a base from with a local bus stop available for any booked trips or airport transfers. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay.
