Budir Vacations from $797

The location is amazing, and the convenience of checking in and out is second to none

It was definitely a luxury experience unlike most stays I've ever done, 10/10 no notes on the hotel itself, the staff and amenities were bespoke. Breakfast was custom made to my liking and brought on a cart in the morning at a time of my choosing. Unbelievably good food and the lady working the desk was very charming. Word of caution, however: it is the highest up apartment in the entire city, maybe the entire country and the hotel is limited to the private access top floor of a new skyscraper of mostly corporate offices. At night, it was likely that my (city facing/partial ocean view) hotel room was the only one lit up in the tower and since the walls --including the bathroom-- are all glass, everything inside rather stands out and there no real privacy without curtains drawn. At some point, shortly after returning back at around midnight, someone somewhere in the city who noticed my arrival to the hotel room started blasting the apartment with a high powered laser pointer until I closed the curtains. That aside, it was a remarkably nice stay, the only concern is that its wildly ostentatious for better or for worse and maybe the locals aren't too pleased with that haha. I would stay here again.

The property is located close to all the main sites in Reykjavik (everything within walking distance). The apartment is furnished nicely and contains everything you need when using Reykjavik as your home base to explore the entire west coast of Iceland. Bonus, when staying at the Printing Press building, apartments 506-506 face the Sæbraut waterfront and have a balcony that has a partial view of the Sæbraut Waterfront (faces north). We were very fortunate to catch the northern lights on our first night in Reykjavik from our balcony! This property has excellent customer service which was very receptive and prompt to address any questions we had. I highly recommend this establishment.

The staff was responsive and the room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good.

Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
