Building's History

Reykjavik Residence properties occupy historic buildings reflecting Reykjavik in the early to mid-1900s. The Artisan House at Lindargata 11, built in 1901, housed the King and Queen of Denmark in 1926. This building has been a carpentry workshop, book-binding company, sewing workshop, and apartments; one family resided there for 88 years. The Bókfell Bookbinding Company completed the building at Hverfisgata 78 in 1947; Bókfell bound the Saga of Icelanders, the first Icelandic Bible, and works by Halldór Laxness.

The 24-hour reception staff can arrange laundry, car rentals, and shuttle services to Keflavík International Airport, a 50-minute drive away. The lobby includes a 24-hour reception desk and a small living room lounge with a couch and tables made of carved tree stumps. Other amenities include L'Occitane toiletries, hairdryer and showers, Dolce Gusto coffee machines and toasters, fridge-freezers and a microwave grill oven.

“Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel stands out for its dedication to comfort and convenience, particularly appealing for families or travelers seeking a home-away-from-home experience in Reykjavik. The well-equipped kitchens and complimentary breakfast options ease the financial strain of dining out, while the central location simplifies exploring the city's attractions.
