Grettir Guesthouse

Me and my girlfriend had a great stay at Grettir Guesthouse. It was easy to find and when we arrived everywhere was very clean and tidy. The facilities worked perfectly with the bed being very comfy and the shower working very well. The location couldn't be better with the main road through the city centre literally on your doorstep close to the bars and restaurants. Despite being so close it was very quiet at night with Reykjavik being a quiet city. Also it was only a 5 minute walk to the supermarket and a 10 minute walk to the BSI bus terminal, where we booked most of our trips with Reykjavik Excursions. Would highly recommend Grettir Guesthouse for anyone wanting to stay in Reykjavik!

This guest house has everything you need for a great stay in iceland. Every day there were cleaners in the house freshening up for that evening. Everything you need for meal prep is available in the kitchen and a supermarket just down the street. I slept very well in this guest house and really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely come back :)

It's like you're staying a friends house. No, there is (probably) no one there to greet you. Yes, you have to follow the instructions from the proprietors to be able to find it (behind some buildings on the main street). Yes, you have to share a bathroom. To my mind, none of the above distracts from the sweet, homey feel of this place. GREAT comfy beds, fantastic wifi, coffee or tea in the morning. There is a kitchen to prepare food, if you wish; they even reserve a whole shelf in the refrigerator for each room. (Great to be able to buy food rather than having to eat out every meal). Had lovely chats with some of the other tenants; only five rooms. Perfect for myself, my wife and teenage son. And so crazy close to everything you want to do in Iceland; including the 'bus stop' where you wait for a tour bus to take you to some remote place. I both saw and spoke to the proprietor(s) at different times, and they were friendly and helpful. Remember, all of Iceland is pretty pricey; and most of them do not have 'ensuite' bathrooms. All things being equal, I would definitely want to stay here again, especially if I was traveling with anyone else.

This is a friendly and cozy place to stay, really convenient to the centre, good value and very clean. Great to have a kitchen and thanks for letting me store my bag after checkout. It would be great to have the detail of how to pick up room key beforehand.

Basic room just what I was looking for, for 1 night stay. Centrally located close to all attractions. Clean and comfortable.
