A cheaper solo accommodation with a private bathroom. It’s close to the bus stop, pick ups for tours are easy. The room is clean and newly renovated. It’s spacious for a single occupant. Its location is close to dining and shopping. I would stay there again if I’m back in Reykjavík.

Very small room, but we had everything we need for our stay, very clean, convenient location close to the beautiful church where all the tours take their start, walkable to the center of the city and bus station. We are very thankful that we could leave our luggage before the check-in and after check-out in the hotel.

So so glad I decided to pick this hostel for my trip. Despite having booked the cheapest rooms from one of the cheapest hostels, the room was private, clean, quiet, and even had its own bathroom. The location was incredible and the owners were responsive and accommodating. Absolutely the best bang for your buck.
Was inexpensive, downtown, and comfortable. Only complaint was that the windows need to be open and there can be loud sounds outside, but there’s not much the property owners can do about that.

This was a great apartment with a good bed and a kitchenette so that we could prepare simple meals. It is right next to the downtown, so it was easy to access dining and shopping. It was next to the Hallgrimskirkja church, so it was easy to find our way back from city walks. There was an issue with hot water, but I believe that will be resolved for future tenants.

This is in a great location in the heart of the city. Spacious room with plenty of room for 6 persons. Directions and signage to the property were very thorough and made it easy to navigate. A broken item upon arrival was rapidly repaired. Very clean place with all necessary items included (towels, linens, plates, glasses, soaps, and shampoo). I highly recommend Daydream Apts for your stay.

We really enjoyed staying at Day Dream L23! It was located in the heart of Reykjavík on a residential street, which made our experience of the city more authentic. The room was cozy and warm and had everything we needed. The kitchen was super useful, as we made some of our meals at home. The hotel was a short walk to shopping, dining, the harbour and public transit. Overall amazing experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The apartment was tiny but clean. (The shower is extremely small.) The neighborhood was great; safe with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The apartment itself needs a bit of attention however. The shower door does not slide properly and the sink was partially clogged. (It took a good five minutes for the sink to drain fully.)
