About this stay

House of the Snowbird provides a charming stay in a preserved historic building, offering a blend of traditional character and modern convenience. Each apartment features a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for those who prefer to prepare their own meals, complete with a dining area, oven, fridge, toaster, and kettle. The location in the old town means you're just a short stroll from local restaurants and museums, immersing you in the city's culture. The proximity to Reykjavík Old Harbour, only 200 metres away, makes it ideal for exploring the waterfront and enjoying boat tours. Free private parking and WiFi add to the comfort and ease of your stay.

Our take

House of the Snowbird works best for couples and families who want their own kitchen in a historic old town house rather than a hotel corridor. Restaurants and museums are within walking distance and the Old Harbour is 200 metres away, so a hire car can stay parked on the free private space. Anyone who expects a front desk or daily housekeeping should look at a conventional hotel instead. For a home-away-from-home in central Reykjavík, I would choose it.

  • ✓Make the most of the fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own meals and save on dining out
  • ✓Explore the old town on foot; many restaurants and museums are just a short walk away
  • ✓Take advantage of the free private parking if you're travelling with a car, a rare find in the city centre
