Saga Studios by Heimaleiga

New years in Reykjavik We spent 2 nights here over new years. The check in was easy and location is very convenient for walking around the city. No issues getting parking. The apartment is quite cozy. The only complaint we had was the pull out sofa. If as very uncomfortable and hard for my children to sleep on. Maybe would be ok for a smaller child but that would be it. Other than that we had a great stay

DO NOT STAY HERE - poor hygiene and poor service. Studio apartment had a significant and unbearable smell of sewage and fish coming from the drain. Please note this was not the usual sulphur smell you would expect from Iceland, and unlike any smell we experienced in the five other hotels and airbnbs during our stay. The drain was left open in the bathroom alongside all windows when we arrived suggesting the providers knew of the problem but did not share prior to our arrival. We contacted the team and were repeatedly told that is was usual - if this is the case this is not a safe place to stay in Iceland. We were forced to spend time elsewhere at a cost. Unfortunately Saga Studios by Heimaleiga refused to offer any compensation.

Great stay. Very convenient and close to all activities. Parking can be a hassle as there is no dedicated spot - people living around the building seem a bit testy about renters. Our entry code was sent to us ahead of time but was not ‘initiated’ so did not work - had to call and get a new one impromptu. A bit unexpected.

though we choose queen bed, we were give two single beds

Overall it was decent place to stay.

This was a very central location which made walking very easy to shop and visit different local points of interest. The locks on the front door and the apartment door were very difficult and frustrating to operate which caused us considerable anxiety. When we arrived, there was no toilet paper in the restroom and no light above the kitchen area. Communication was difficult because it was hard to find the correct email address for the host. This place was OK in a pinch and rather expensive.
