Highly recommend. I enjoyed my time at this property. It was well suited for 2 adults and 2 small children. It was right around the corner from the Main Street in downtown Iceland. Easy to walk to shops, restaurants and very centrally located to get to different activities in a short amount of time. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Location is fantastic and the apartment is really beautiful and comfortable. The bed is so comfortable and we slept so well, bathroom is spacious and the shower is so big, we only stayed 1 night but would have love to stay longer. Would highly recommend staying here and especially if you want to explore around downtown cause it’s prime location

This was a perfect location to enjoy Reykjavik by foot. Literally on top of a grocery store, and a short walk from an endless number of restaurants and bars. We got to enjoy three nights here as we reset after doing the Ring Road, and the extra room was appreciated as we repacked for the flight home. Parking was easy in the neighborhood, and if you go a block further away, you can save a ton by parking in zone 2.

Great Property! Right next door to the Kronan Grocery store, which is perfect. Walking distance to everything. Comfy beds. Amazing balcony. Nice hot tub. Kitchen has lots and pans, plenty of dishes and cups, glasses etc. washer dryer was a nice bonus. I would definitely give this place a look.

Unpleasant virtual check in

Good location, near city center. Overall, the apartment is satisfactory considering everything is expensive in Iceland. The unpleasant experience I encountered was the virtual check in. Without a real front desk, it took 3 hours to resolve all the issues with payment and door lock codes.

There were 3 locks to enter our apartment. We felt very safe inside and the neighborhood was also safe. Places to eat were close and easy walk. Plus just a few blocks to airport drop off and also to get to the hop on hop off bus stop. No views but it was still a nice place.

The location was amazing! We were literally a ten minute walk from anything we wanted to do in the city. The only downside was the stocking of the grocery store next door. Every morning there was the rattle of pallet jacks and some kind of trash compactor Despite that we would definitely stay there again. We had such a good time during our visit.

Misleading description lead to big disappointment

Location in the city is good, and self check in easy enough. So disappointed on walking in to room 308. After reading all the flowery description about Alva being pinnacle of luxury meticulously crafted, breath taking city views, sophisticated atmosphere, it is nothing more than a standard 3 star apartment room, with a view over a large double carpark, exterior refrigeration fans and a truck loading dock (most of the level 3 apartments on that side of the building will have similar view) and as the Alva is on top of a supermarket the noise of fork lifts and truck staff moving things in and out of the supermarket in the mornings is very disturbing. There is no light in the entry/wardrobe area and its very difficult to see inside the wardrobe, the small eating table has stains over the surface. Maybe on 4th floor, on opposite side of the building you may see some city sights. I really wish that owner/s of these investment apartments would not be misleading in the website and booking platforms' description. It is very pricy for what you get and and disappointing. I would have added photo but doesnt give oprion from gallery.

I liked that the area was very quiet as Iceland typically is, but the condition of the property and the apartment itself could have been cleaner. The room was very dusty/dirty. I used my Clorox wipes and it was as if it were cleaned for the first time.

The apartment was good. The "shower glass" could have been more clean. The kitchen has everything you need except a dish soap. Using the sofa as a bed for 2 people is okay for one night. Would recommend the apartments.

Rented a penthouse with hot tub. Hot tub was broken and non functioning. Never notified about this before stay. Received poor communication when reached out to property management about the issue. Never resolved.

Location, location, location.

Great location. Close to EVERYTHING downtown. Be aware that the parking fees around the apartments are P1... the most expensive in Reykjavik. Park a couple of blocks to the south for P2, or leave your car in a parkade a few blocks north to save a BUNCH of money - dowload the "Parka" app before arriving to find where the closest parking is and make sure you're paid up. Room was comfortable, very thankful for blackout curtains! Guest laundry was a blessing after being on the road for over a week. Some downsides though. Building looks like it's undergoing renovations. When we checked in, there was still garbage in the garbage cans and there were crumbs in the cutlery tray. Other than that, was a nice place to stay in the heart of Downtown Reykjavik.

Very good apartment with fixable minor flaws

Rental was very clean, but there was a distinct smell in the apartment, couldnt figure it out. There was no TV remote and the advertised hot tub had no water in it, there are actually 2 hot tubs both were empty. The apartment was very convenient and had a great balcony to watch the nothern lights from.

Good location, reasonable price. But! No saucepans in kitchen, television not connected to aerial and not connected to streaming services. Thus no television. Fortunately I did not come to Iceland to watch the television. Overall, no more than an average stay.
