“Amazing stay with great location, free parking, and excellent value for money in Iceland.”
One of the best value-for-money stays in Iceland. The property is centrally located, making it very easy to explore Reykjavík and nearby attractions. Free parking was a huge advantage, especially in Iceland where parking can be expensive. The rooms and common areas were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Smooth self check-in process, great facilities, and everything needed for a pleasant stay was available.

“Lovely homely hostel!”
The owner and staff were kind and generous. The owner showed interest in our travel plans and gave useful tips. The coffee and tea was free which made us super happy, also a bunch of other utilities free to use or borrow, truly a homely feel and we haven't felt as welcome in any of our other stays as here!

“From start to finish, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt at home and had a great stay.”
The kitchen was great: free coffee, tea, fridges, cookers and dishwashers. All well-labelled, easy to find things. Clean and comfortable. Hairdryers, books etc. The property was not far from Perlan.

“Such a good place to stay.”
Igdlo Guesthouse is such a good place to stay. It's in the heart of Reykjavik. The place is clean, cozy and perfect to a long stay. It's not fancy, but it worth the money.

Amazing location and free parking. I had an issue with my flight, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding about me not showing up the first night. I highly recommend it :)

“Great stay. If ever I would definitely come back”
Breakfast was ok, not a huge choice but definitely worth the price of 5€, way below the avarage that you’d find around. The staff was great in keeping my bike bag for 20 days. A huge thank you to Ingi and its team. The location was perfect. 10 minutes walking distance from the main bus station, as well as from the city centre.

“So comfy cosy and accommodating. Sad to say goodbye :(”
I really liked staying here, it felt very welcoming from the moment I entered. Check in was early and easy good instructions. There were so many items just offered as extras. Boots, sandals and all sorts of shoes by the front door, everything from those spikey snow things you put over your shoes to umbrellas and coats. Then there was so much kitchen space, many kitchen gadgets (some that I didn’t know how to even use) and teas and coffee and a free food cupboard left over from other guests. Such a lovely vibe, very inviting a felt very community based. Also had board games and books. So cool!! Plus, my room was comfy, the heating was excellent even when it was freezing outside. And I could see the church from my window, amazing view. So sad I only spend two nights here :( Oh and the location was amazing, great for walking into the city and Perlan. I didn’t use buses but I’m sure being close to the station would be helpful. WiFi was also good btw

“Would stay again”
Maybe do with freshening up with new pillows and duvets, but excellent value for money and really lively place to stay, in walking distance centre and bus station.
