“Nice stay with the charme of an old cityhouse.”
Centrally located, cozy old house, easy access, helpful owners! Very calm although in the middle of the city and surrounded by clubs.

“Great location and convenient for a short stay.”
Great location right by one of the shuttle bus pick up points which was perfect for what I needed. Also easy to walk around the central city and see the main sights by foot. Clean and convenient. Did not see any staff but had all the information I needed to get in and find my way around.

“Great location for airport transfers & central attractions. Flexible check-in time. Clean & secure.”
Bus Stop 3 is located in front of this Guesthouse which is ideal for international airport transfers, especially if you have large bags or arriving/leaving at unusual times. It is also located next to the main shopping street, with a 24/7 small but well-stocked modern supermarket nearby. There are also bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity, and it's less than a 10-minute walk to Reykjavik's fantastic theatre. The Guesthouse is clean and tidy and there are also two well-equipped and clean kitchens.

“Good location but be mindful it’s next to a bar. Clean and easy to get to.”
It was in a good location and the room was clean, owners responsive via booking.com too. Great location for the marathon and festival. Clear instructions too.

“Very disappointing. Room was totally outdated, even no curtains! Price/quality very bad.”
Only the beds were okay. Just for students, but they cannot afford this. Fortuntaley not dirty. Worthless room for so much money. The owner is happy, the customer not at all.
