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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
