We stayed for 4 nights and the apartment itself has a good standard, however there was some kitchen stuff lacking. A big negative point is that the Doors to the apartments slams so bad when shutting that we woke up at night when our neighbor came home. Otherwise okay staying.

Fire hazard. No bed tabels, but they have charger plugs by the bed. So your phone is in your bed Fire alarm starts high bib sound in the hallway, 4 times a week? Solution? They put up a manual, so the guests can reset the fire alarm themselves. I kid you not. Not a very clean room. Hair on the walls an in the toilet sink. Black removable spots, in the shower. Lots of light at night, coming from the shower window. Nowhere to put your clothes.A few slippery coat hangers, where your clothes constantly fell off of from. No places for suitcases. Curtain hanging halfway from the sealing. This company owns over 600 rooms i Reykjavik. It seems like they’re all in,it for the money. Not caring for their staffs or guests opinions. Positive things: it is located very central, on a fairly quiet street. The kitchen is functional. The size of the room is good,but how they have used this space,not the smartest.

Imagine your wife is in the shower and someone opens the door to your room. That was not a dream, that is what happened to us. The Security procedures at the swan are non-existent. They had given the access code to our room to someone else. They are trying to be cute by controlling everything remotely including access to rooms. There is nothing wrong with doing that if there are safeguards in place to ensure the safety and security of the guests. Apparently there are no such safeguards in place at the Swan Hotel. I say this because this morning while my wife was showering someone entered our room carrying baggage checking in. The Swan Hotel has CCTV to show this. I can only warn you that if you care about either your personal security or the security of your personal belongings then you do not are well advised to avoid staying at the Swan Hotel. When I called their support line, the answer was I got was I’m sorry let us offer you a late checkout at no cost. The immediate response only leads me to conclude that this was not a one time occurrence. And if someone else had access to your room would you really be willing to leave your luggage in the room wondering whether it was safe?

This was our 2nd stay after a 2 nights tour between. As the first one, good location and clear check-in instruction was provided. Fast feedback from reception, though it was via online chat, we got the missing bedding and towels delivered to our room. However... The room is very off from what we expected. We booked a superior studio as we wanted a bigger room for 3 adults spending 4 nights. Sadly we got a corner attic room no.407. I'm the shortest with only 160cm, and hit my head 4 times when going to bed in the first 2 days. My son got a plainful swell when he got up the 2nd morning. The slanting ceilings left and right of the sofabed are very dangerous. They are so low and have sharp corner edges. It's like staying in a cave as half of the room we can only reach bending our backbones. The lowest wall is only 70-75cm barely 20cm higher than my handcarry suitcase. The hotel insisted that the room is under their superior studio category which can accommodate 4 adults as per Booking, and they replied to update more details in the room descriptions. I attached some photos in case you would like to take reference before update from hotel. Somehow the photos were not posted in Booking review...

We have just arrived home from a lovely stay in Swan House, room 108. It had everything we need and the location was super, just a few minutes walk to bus stops and rainbow street etc. The shower was so good. The only slight negative was the room was very warm but that didn't take away from giving this apartment 5 stars. I would recommend it and would stay again.

This was a great place to stay as a single traveller. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the wifi because availability, full access to wifi was intermittent and unreliable when I was trying to do email and other wifi related online transactions. I was able to save a lot of money by buying my own food to prepare all breakfasts, most lunches and some dinners. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay very much. I highly recommend this hotel.

Just a few tweaks and this would be perfect. Location was great. Listing said the room had a toaster, but this was not true. Instructions for using the hotplate were insufficient, we had to ask for help when instructions should have said that the pot needed to be placed on the hotplate for it to work. (Apparently this is obvious to some people!) Overall we enjoyed our stay.
