Where it is

The address in the listing is Laugavegur 71, 101 Reykjavik. Postcode 101 covers Miðborg, the city centre. That is the postcode most visitors mean when they say downtown.

In a straight line it is 800 metres from the centre point this site measures from, in the old town by Lækjartorg, to the south-east. On foot that should take roughly 10 minutes. That is an estimate, not a measured route: the straight line with 30 percent added for the streets, at an ordinary walking pace of 5 km/h.

Booking.com's own location score for the property, from its guests, is 9.7 out of 10.

On parking the listing says: “No parking available.”

What guests mention

Booking.com condenses the property's guest reviews into a short list of what comes up most, drawn from 116 reviews. This site has not read the reviews itself: the table is Booking.com's summary, as given.

Guests single out location and cleanliness as strengths; the summary is mixed on kitchen, noise and parking.

Arrival, departure and the fine print

Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out until 10:00 AM. The listing attaches this to check-in: “You need to let the property know what time you'll be arriving in advance.”

The fine print, as the listing words it: “Please inform Svala Apartments by Heimaleiga of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. This property does not accommodate bachelor(ette) or similar parties. Quiet hours are between 22:00:00 and 08:00:00. In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19), additional safety and sanitation measures are in effect at this property.”

How much the guest score can carry

8.5 out of 10 from 756 reviews. At that number of stays one unhappy or delighted guest barely moves the average, so the score is a fair summary of how guests have found it.

Within “Apartments in Reykjavik” it stands 133 of 319 when the group is sorted by score and number of reviews together, so that a 10 from one guest does not outrank a 9.1 from two thousand.

When the weather suits a visit

The warmest month is July, averaging 14.9 degrees Celsius (58.8 Fahrenheit) by day, the coolest January at 3.2 degrees (37.8 Fahrenheit).

Those are outdoor averages over many years, not a forecast. Iceland's weather turns inside an afternoon; check the Icelandic Met Office the night before you travel.
