This is a 7-story building filled with apartments for short-term rental. It is in a large parking lot shared with one or two similar apartment buildings, about a 15 minute drive from downtown Reykjavik. Out studio apartment was very comfortable, the bed was great, but the kitchen a little antiquated--it was hard to control the heat on the electric stovetop and oven. There are a free washer and dryer on every floor. There is no staff on-site, but the management is very responsive -- you can reach them by email through Expedia, or be telephone. We had a couple problems during our stay, but with one exception they were quickly resolved. That one exception was not their fault -- the local water department had an accident so that there was no water supply for one day. The management did keep us reasonably informed, and they agreed to refund one day's rent for the inconvenience. I think it would be very inconvenient to stay here without a car, and you do not get to walk to the sites and restaurants of downtown Reykjavik. On the other hand, you can cook and wash your clothes, and it is very easy to drive either into town or out into the countryside to see various sites. And it is very comfortable. We would stay here again.

Perfect location

Spacious, clean. Easy to get around

The apartment was on the larger side and had a well equiped kitchenette. The beds were comfortable, as was the pull out sofa bed. We were there for 5 nights and thought the location was perfect for driving to Reykjavik and The Golden Circle. Bonus, a discount grocery store, and a bakery/coffeehouse is close by. Parking was free. There is a gym on the first floor, so if you are light sleeper or want to sleep past 6am, be sure to insist on an apartment on the top floors. The management was very attentive and even contacted us when they thought we had left something in the room. We would stay there again.

Our apartment was on 6 the floor. The telescope was broken. Other than that was good place to stay. Location good as home base to do a # of road trips. Nice restaurant grocery store,& coffee/ bakery a few minutes walk. Great views of mountains & steamarea,& lake. We recommend staying here.

Good floor plan. Good quality sofa bed, private bathroom,TV with Netflix, Evelator, contactless check-in/out is convenient. Shared washer/dryer on each floor. (Caution: Don't expect lake view in the "Corner apartment with view" as shown in pic depending on which side of the apartment u get)

Corner room with View may not give u lake view, just more windows. Also check all features, we had broken toilet, lights, table and shower glass.

Great place to use as a base camp if you plan on driving places. There is a grocery store cross the street and that’s about it, everything eles is a trip into the city. It’s clean and new, but the listing was misleading stating there was a gym on property. There is no provided gym, it’s simply near an expensive gym chain. The tv situation was also poorly communicated and we would frequently have to wait for the host to allow the in unit tv to stream, as it would stop and need verification every 45 -60 mins. Could be better for the price.

The apartment was great. There was a grocery store, bakery and restaurant across the street. I was able to walk and pick up food items we needed easily and bring them back to the apartment.

It's nice when something comes as advertised. I would suggest you need a rental car to stay here but it was easily within 15 minutes of downtown Reykjavik while also being close to every road out of town toward adventure! Good communication from management, easy in and out and just right for a family of three to not be cramped. I was extremely pleased with this facility.

Nestled in a quiet area a short drive from Reykjavik, Blue Mountain Apartments was the perfect staging ground for our stay in Iceland. The apartment was clean, cozy, and completely quiet despite being close to roadways. On-site amenities were appreciated. We felt at home in just a short time. Highly recommended if you want to shop at the local grocery just 5 minutes walking away and cook your own meals. We had some small issues with the television, but our stay was focused on travel and experiences, so TV wasn't missed. Overall, a very nice stay and BMA's staff answered emails and calls very quickly, always willing to help. If we ever return to Iceland, we'd definitely book Blue Mountain Apartments again.

There was a very unpleasant smell upon entering the unit. Housekeeping provided spray but it would’ve been nice if they could’ve open the windows to air out the odor. Odor lingered for the entire duration of my stay.

Plenty of space in the apartment, including lots of cabinets for suitcases. Bonus is a short walk away.

Excellent, excellent lodging option for staying a few days in Reykjavik, Iceland. I reserved two apartments for me and my wife and our two friends. The management was very understanding and let us check in early as the apartments were ready early. A great surprise to us was that SkAlli restaurant across the street served excellent pizza and they were reasonably priced.
