The Castle House Luxury Apartments are I such a great location. Everything is within walking distance with the bus stops to most of the tours within 5 minutes walk.
The apartments themselves are very clean, well equipped and warm! There is underfloor heating in the bathroom and being Iceland, instant hot water!!
The beds are very comfortable, with lovely warm quilts and pillows.
Check in is easy, with a key code sent to you just before you arrive and although there isn’t a reception desk you get a number to call if there are any issues and they do answer immediately and are very helpful. Would definitely come back for another stay!!

The apartment is well situated, with a nice view of the Pond. It has lots of litght, the kitchen is well equipped, the shower is good and the bed comfortable. The ability to leave luggage on-site prior to arrival or at departure was quite appreciated.

The reason for our 4 of 5 is the electronic key entry system that constantly troubled us, and no one on site to help us. We did not have SIM cards on our phones, so reaching the office was hard at first til we tried WhatsApp and they were only somewhat helpful. Confusing to us was the early instructions about how to engage the system at the storage location and different instructions at the front door. Had someone been there to run us through the system, our stay would have been less stressful.

Wish they had some signage so we would have known we were standing across the street when we asked a stranger if they knew where the place was. The shower was tiny and water flooded the floor no matter what we did to keep it from happening. Great location.

04.10.2025 Lori

Wonderful location just off the center of the city. Comfortable and clean apartment. Felt very safe for a solo traveler. It was nice to have a fridge and microwave. I didn’t use the other appliances. Bed was comfy and shower was fantastic. Host communication was excellent. Convenient luggage storage if you get in early, or if you are leaving the city well after check out.

It offers great value for money, is located in the city center, and is very close to other places; the cathedral is just up a hill away.

Spend a weekend in Reykjavik!
A weekend was the perfect amount of time to explore the city of Reykjavik. We found a great tour about the local lore and a couple of museums about Icelandic history.

01.08.2025 Lauren

Super comfortable, clean, and spacious. Only drawbacks were that the airport is very close meaning you hear and see large planes flying very low overhead. They don't fly late into the night or start very early though, so it didn't detract from our stay other than startling us the first time. We also had a couple issues with the keypad at the front entry, but we were still able to get in. Amazing location and very lovely stay overall though! And parking was very easy to find.

17.07.2025 Jeanette

It was a nice quiet location but very walkable to the downtown shopping and restaurants.

10.07.2025 Janice

It was nice to be able to spread out after too many nights in hotel rooms. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location is perfect for centrally walking and enjoying Reykjavik.

18.06.2025 Florriann

The bed was comfortable and luckily we had day excursions because it was crowded and smelled like sewage and mold. We were in a small outbuilding not represented by the castle building photos advertised. We booked becuase we thought we were getting a luxery apartment. Instead we where in a converted shed or garage in the back of the building in the yard. We had to keep the window open to vent the smell. We had no view of anything but the back of the building. Could have gone to a hotel for same price and less hassle.

Probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Great staff, delicious food, nice wines. Lamb chops so tasty!

19.12.2017 Mai

Food and service are excellent and all for a reasonable price - as prices go in Reykjavik.

29.09.2017 George

Dinner for two, we had dinner which was great and the service was very good.
Try the Icelandic platter for starters.
I had the Icelandic fish stew and my daughter had the salted cod both were excellent. I can highly recommend this place.

20.08.2017 Riccardo

Definitely a nice place, but I have some things to say about it. First of all, the meal was served after 2 minutes since we ordered and in fact it was cold. Second, if the meal was served in 2 minutes, why we had to wait 20 minutes for the coffee? It doesn't make sense and also it was really bad. Moreover, the price compared to the service and quality wasn't worth it.

30.06.2017 sengelbr

Fantastic meal and fantastic service! The lamb stew, fish stew and artic char were off-the-charts excellent, only surpassed by our waiter who took great care of us but politely and discreetly. This restaurant has an interesting history and old photographs in the dining area to illustrate. I also think you get more value for your money here, including the wine prices.

This place is definitely on my short list, I highly recommend you put it on yours.

We asked a local Icelander where the best place to try puffin and Whale was and we were not disappointed. Excellent service and beautiful food. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to have a true Icelandic experience.

18.12.2017 SkyMonster

Good service, friendly staffs, delicious food and good ambiance, what more can you ask for? Note that the shop does look small, not sure about upstairs seating though. Might need to book in advance if you have larger groups or want to be seated during peak hours.

04.12.2017 Konstantine

Great place. Was recommended by a number of locals to us and did not dissapoint.
My only mistake was trying the shark for the first time without asking how they prepare it first. Iy is fermented and has a very sharp taste and smell. Did not enjoy that dish.
As for the rest - was absolutely delicious. The smoked puffin had very unique taste and was the highlight of the dinner.
I ordered whale pepper steak, enjoyed it greatly. We also had halibut amd langoustines which were prepared immaculately!
Did not leave room for dessert :(

24.11.2017 Gwen

Outstanding restaurant! Went here for a Thanksgiving meal far from home. Did not disappoint. We had the herring appetizer which my mother and husband loved (I am not a fan of herring so I skipped). For main courses we had lamb filet, halibut with langostine and wild sea bird (Puffin) in a wine reduction. Dessert was homemade vanilla ice cream with chocolate and caramel sauce. Rekya vodka and white wine. Skipped the coffee. Currently delirious. Restaurant staff was lovely and the space was quite pretty.

28.10.2017 Adam

I'd give it 5 stars but the salty cod was very salty. Very, very salty. We spent $50USD for salt and we were lucky enough to get fish with it. Although the puffin, potato soup, and horse steak was good.

My friends and I touring Iceland came here on a Sat night around 9pm. It was still early enough where they had an acoustic guitarist singing cover songs. It wasn't that busy and had available seating at the time. It was nice and chill and we got to sing along too! However sometime later they started taking away the tables and chairs and more and more and MORE people started pouring in! Young crowd too. We got super lucky bc a group of people left their booth table which ended up being right by the DJ. At this point the it was a packed club (which I didn't expect at all lol). As with any packed club, it was very hard to get drinks and to move anywhere in the bar, and there was a long line for the bathroom to which my friends also added that 2 chicks got in a fight (sounds kinda interesting actually). They played American Music the rest of the night and even with the negative aspects of busy clubs, I still had a grand time, but of course alcohol helps lol.

01.10.2017 RustlingMedusa

Top quality sound system, my wife and I heard the music (and revellers) extremely clearly in my hotel over 50 metres away and all night long to boot! The set was top notch with good flow and a good selection of various upbeat music, the sound system made it so clear I could "shazam" over 80% of the DJ's set!
What an experience!
11/10 would definitely not sleep again!

13.09.2017 Rohith

Don't even think of going there. The worst club I have ever been to. 200 people cramped in a place where it can hold maximum 50 People spilling beer all over the place, drunk fightings, I can go on and on.

08.05.2017 Anton

Great place, been there several times. Always great service and nice staff. Their MangoTango is phenomenal
