10/10 Excellent

It met all of our overnight needs during our stay
Dr Julian, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This guesthouse was clean and very conveniently located, next to a prominent bus stop, restaurants, historic district and more.
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It’s a great property - central and within walk of main attractions.
Kristina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

While a bit cozy and squeaky in places, this was an affordable space for my family in the heart of Reykjavik - close to everything we wanted to see.
Amy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very cute and cozy. Excellent location right in the heart of downtown
Jodie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, very easy check in/out. Very clean.
Emily, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice room!!
Charles, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Entry was a bit rundown and 2 flights of stairs to climb. Facilities clean and quiet. Shared bathroom and kitchen. Check-in instructions clear and easy to follow. Good location for shopping, restaurants and bus pickup.
Renee, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great value for money. Great location
Miguel Angel, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great cheap option in an optimal location near the shopping and dining district, the pond, and the harbor. I stayed here before and after a group tour from the city. It has all the basics you need to just have a comfortable and peaceful night’s rest.
Megan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location

Location was excellent for catching tour buses and walking around town, hotel was quiet and comfortable. The communal kitchen was handy with coffee on hand.
Kim Edward, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quaint and lovely. Easy to follow check in after hours. Room was simple but clean and comfortable. Bathrooms and communal kitchen were lovely. Lots of dining options close by and only about 12 minutes walk to the BSI terminal so access to local busses and tour companies was a breeze.
Dr Julian, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The accommodation is very central and was fine for us. The room was no longer in good condition, but was okay for the price.
Christian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean and nice large room. Fairly central to popular sites in town.
Iris, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Convenient location for sightseeing and tour pickups. For the price paid and that it is a guest house, it was reasonable.
Kathryn, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was great, it's probably the cheapest option around that isn't a hostel and for that price my expectations were definitely meant, I'd stay there again. Room was comfy, bathrooms were kept clean and the kitchen was nice.
Ryan, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect location! Very clean and easy to reach out to the admin
Aida, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location

Nice room, friendly staff although not there much. Kitchen available, clean room and good shower. Well located, walking distance to everything.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very central to all downtown venues
eli, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The poor rating is not related to the guesthouse itself, but the location. While convenient, it's right on a main road and walkway for late night revellers, hence, impossible to sleep.
david, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The privacy, unimpeded bathroom use and cleanness.
brian, 6-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Location only but do not stay here
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Convenient stay

Convenient location. Bit run down and luggage storage was in a toilet room which didn’t smell great. But it was clean with a well appointed kitchen.
Luen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Provides all needed for a good sleep - comfortable & quiet. The location is good. The kitchen was useful and well equipped, but not cleaned as well as should be.
iain, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location is excellent. The No. 3 bus stop is right out the door. My room was very clean and had a wonderful view. The owner was very nice, and quick to respond to questions in my emails. We will stay here again on our next visit to Iceland.
