Reykjavik Marina Residences

Reykjavik Marina Residences is an apartment-hotel at Mýrargata 26 on the Old Harbour of Reykjavik, Iceland, on the western side of the harbour basin. The setting is the revitalised harbour district, where former fishing and industrial buildings now house restaurants, cafes, galleries and museums. The Reykjavik Maritime Museum, the Whales of Iceland exhibition and the departure points for whale-watching and puffin boat tours are within a short walk, and the centre at Lækjartorg and Austurvöllur is about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot. Many units look across the harbour and bay, giving views of boats, the sea and, on clear days, Mount Esja.

The accommodation is offered as Studios and Apartments, each with a kitchen and Wi-Fi. The kitchens allow guests to cook their own meals, a practical benefit given Iceland's high restaurant prices, while the harbour area also has a wide choice of places to eat, from fish restaurants to casual cafes and bakeries. There is no large hotel restaurant described, so the property works best for independent travellers who like the flexibility of a self-contained unit.

Service character is residential and independent, with the facilities of an apartment rather than the full-service environment of a traditional hotel, so check-in and housekeeping arrangements should be confirmed when booking. Indicative rates run from about ISK 24,000 to 44,000 (roughly $192-352) per night for a double room, with the highest prices in summer. The location is ideal for visitors interested in marine activities and harbour dining, and it also offers quick access to the Grandi district and the coastal path. Golden Circle, South Coast and Northern Lights tours can be joined from central pick-up points, and taxis or buses link the harbour with the rest of the city.
