Blue Luxury Apartments

Convenient location, lots of street parking and easy walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Great space for a family.

Fast & easy communication via email.  Getting key from lock box was easy.  They are currently updating the exterior.  The neighbours are CLOSE by, if you are on ground level.  This seems like a very European thing, though.

Very nice, spacious apartment that comfortably hosts 6 people. Quiet and safe area , walking distance from the cathedral and downtown. Very nicely priced!

Very clean, quiet and comfortable place.The outside looked a little rough but am assuming the are in th process of fresening it up.Nice big refrigerator, but it was turned off when we arrived and the shelves were covered with water from the freezer that was half defrosted. Cooled down quickly when turned back on.Dishwasher was full of what we assumed were clean dishes but we did nor need anything major so left it the way we found it There is no place to put your suitcases in the bedrooms so the TV room couch is the next best choice if the beds are full.Very short walk to the bars, restaurants and shops in downtown so find a parking spot (none at the building) and go get some exercise.

Brilliant, spacious, and modern apartment.  Well equipped and comfortable.  Just a few minutes walk into the city of centre and plenty of free on-street parking very close by.This was a great base from which to explore Reykjavik.

The appartments locations is great, easy to find and a short walk to tourist attractions.

Very clean and everything you need.
There were 4 of us in a 2 bed apartment which gave enough space for us all.

The beds were comfy with good bed linen.
Would definitely suggest staying here and would return in future.

Great location and beautiful apartment with everything we needed for our short stay in Reykjavik.

Great location for the  Laugavegur area - short walk to the restaurants, harbor and shopping.  Full kitchen with full refrigerator, two private bedrooms, one full bath.  Dining table easily sat six along with living room with TV and full porch.  Coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, microwave, oven, stove, etc. etc.  Very quiet location.

Due to the coronavirus we were unable to travel to Iceland, however Jenny took our sadness and and made us so thankful with wonderful customer service. We look forward to rebooking and staying at The Blue Luxury Apartments. Many thanks 

This place is must stay to visit In and around Reykjavik. Very homely with kitchen. Ideally located. A Wine bottle waits for you as a complimentary. Jenny, from Blue Luxury Apts.,whom we interacted, a gem of a person!!!

The condo is nice overall, clean and roomy and spacious. The only issues I had was that some minor things in the apartment were broken but did not interfere with our stay. Like the shower knob kept falling off and the shower holder was poorly attached to the wall and was moving so we had to be careful with it but it still worked.  Also some of the kitchen drawers would not close and kept opening. The wooden board under the dishwasher kept falling off and we had to put it back. Also communication did not happen. The number they have to call for emergencies —I called a few times and no one picked up. I also sent them email but did not get a response. Eventually we solved the problem ourselves but it would have happened sooner if they responded .

We were traveling with our teenage son, so chose the Blue Luxury Apartments via TripMasters for our trip to Iceland, so we could each have some privacy. 

We received an email from TripMasters a week before that we needed to contact the company 2 days before to get check in instructions. Two days before we arrived was Easter Sunday, so I probably should have sent it sooner. But still, we did not get a reply on Monday, and in fact, did not get a reply at all while we needed it. We arrived 6 am local time Tuesday (2 AM from our perspective), and made our way to the building by around 8:30 am. (We held off from calling as long as we could because of the time.) The site does warn that there is no front desk, and this is accurate. We tried calling the phone number for Blue Luxury Apartments and no answer. So we were standing on the street, tired after a long journey with our luggage, and afraid that we would be in this state indefinitely. We did have a stroke of luck in that an employee was there (THANK YOU MARTA), and she contacted the company and helped us get in and get settled, even though the check in was at 3 PM. Granted, that is pretty standard, but given our arrival time, we should have had a better plan in place. Not sure what that plan would have been (given that most of these flights are going to be similarly timed), but keep that in mind if traveling from North America. 

Once we got into the apartment, the email instructions arrived. What we would have learned if we had gotten the email instructions timely is that there is a box with a combination and the (single set of) keys inside. 

As far as the actual apartment, the building itself is not very impressive, but think of it like the Tardis - it is much nicer on the inside. We had two bedrooms with a bathroom in between, and a living room with nearby kitchen space, including a microwave, a stove, a sink, a dishwasher, and adequate plates, cups, bowls, silverware, etc. There is a Bonus (that's the name) supermarket about a 10 minute walk away for reasonably (for Iceland) priced food and sundries. We had adequate privacy, and the neighbors were quiet enough (I hope that doesn't mean we were the loudest...) The windows are ample with decent views and with room darkening blinds. The beds were comfortable. The accommodations were pretty nice.

It is my custom to leave some information for traveling athletes. Bike paths are plentiful in the city, though it took a while for me to find them. My suggestion is to go to Tjörnin pond, which is about a 3-4 minute run from the apartment. It's about a mile around the perimeter, and there are a bunch of paved trails on the south end, but I was not very adventurous.  

There are many bus stops and commercial districts within 10-20 minute walking distance. We only took a taxi once, and only then because our time was short (we walked 30 minutes back). 

I probably would stay here again, though with better planning. Enjoy the beautiful country of Iceland!

Well located, though getting in was not easy.

Our stay was great. A few things to be aware of regarding the property:1) It’s a short walk from both the city center AND the main bus terminal, so the location is pretty convenient for arriving and departing from Keflavík.2) There is some significant aircraft noise from the nearby domestic airport, but the street is residential and generally quiet.3) The nearest grocery store is a 5-minute walk away, and well stocked.4) I contacted the property a week before we arrived, but I waited several days before receiving a response. It was fine, but don’t necessarily expect a response the same day. The property did not provide the owner’s name.5) There was no washing machine or freezer in our apartment. Again, not a big problem for us, but be aware if you plan to wash clothes or store any frozen food there.6) The advertisement said the apartment was soundproofed - but we did hear other residents, both in the stairwell and in the apartment above. That’s okay, but our apartment was not soundproof.

Good place to stay - some improvements possible

Great stay

Two night visit

Realny comfortable apartment in the city center. Quiet and clean. Spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen. The apartment is advertised for up to 6 persons - it has only 2 bedrooms and in our opinion it’s comfortable for up to 4 persons, especially with only one bathroom/toilet. However, some desperates may chose to sleep on a sofa in the dining room.Within walking distance to the main attractions.The real drawback - bad communication with the owners. There is no reception and keys need to be picked up from the key box with a code. We contacted the company by the phone stating details of our arrival and they promised to send us the code via email. Unfortunately we did not receive the code. Tried several times to call the company for 2 consecutive days, sent them e-mail message asking for the code and we ended up at the door with all our luggage and no way to get in. We were lucky one gentleman living in another apartment managed to get the code for us. Quite stressing situation. So when they improve the communication strategy with their customers, it will be a really attractive place to stay.

Comfortable apartment, stressful communication

Apartment was very clean, with all amenities, fully stocked kitchen appliances and comfortable. Tv and WiFi worked great, very spacious (two bedrooms), with very clean sheets and comforters, and beds were comfortable too. Very modern. It was on a quiet residential street, and still within 10 min of walk to downtown.

The owners were very very nice to let us check in almost 4 hours prior to the check in time, which really helped us a lot! We were jet lagged and tired from a red-eye flight, this helped us crash and sleep early in the day. 

The reason for one less star is more of a suggestion than anything negative:
It was very noisy in the night since the bedrooms were facing the street, hence couldn’t sleep well to break the jet lag. We only realized while we were loading the car while checking out that the upper windows in the bedrooms were left open. Suggest the owner to either keep it closed (not sure about the ventilation though) or atleast apprise the guests about it.

Secondly, a minor thing, the soap dispenser in the bathroom was outside the shower curtains, making it a bit awkward to get it each time. Suggest to move it inside.

Otherwise, great place, and would surely recommend.

Very clean, modern, convenient and comfortable

Fabulous apartment. Large living/kitchen are which was fully equipped. Teens made up with ‘all the tv channels and wifi’. Lovely and clean, not a speck of dust. Easy check in with instructions from owners. Literally the comfiest king size bed I’ve ever slept in! Location is great. 5-10 mins to bus station where all the excursions depart from. Easy, pretty walk to the cathedral, town centre and small supermarket. 

Soundproofing is not great, constant dragging of chair from people above and woke us at 2am the second night with a very loud telephone call but soon drifted back to sleep in the luxury bed. Would love to return but would choose a top floor apartment.
