It was great. Perfect location and everything we needed.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

8/10 Very good

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

8/10 Very 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 Exceptional

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

10/10 Exceptional

Liked everything, it was perfect for our vacation
Rosalind, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

Very cute and cozy. Excellent location right in the heart of downtown

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

6/10 Good

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 Exceptional

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

10/10 Exceptional

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 Exceptional

Simple but very nice. Perfect location for exploring downtown Reykjavik.
Thomas, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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 Exceptional

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

2/10 Poor

The property lobbies were dark, dingy & dirty. The room was bright but felt unclean. The towels were old and tattered. The restrooms and common areas were straightened but did not feel clean.
Annette, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 Exceptional

This property was in a really good location, we had a lovely room looking out at lovely Christmas decorations. We would definitely stay again, the room was a good size and comfortable bed. There is also a shared kitchen you can also store your luggage in the luggage room so you can enjoy looking around after you have checked out. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay 😊
Karen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

8/10 Very 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

6/10 Good

Good value for money
The guesthouse has a good location, I received easy instructions for check in and the room was as I expected. There are good kitchen facilities, the rooms are clean and everything works. The only minus, but a big one, was a really awful madras! And proper darkening curtains would also be a plus. I didn’t sleep very well.
Susanne, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The guesthouse is a reasonable option for a short term visitor to central Reykjavik. However, it fails to deliver on its promise to provide safe storage of luggage. The luggage room is unlocked, unsupervised (since there is never anyone at reception) and easily accessible not just to all guests but to anyone on the street who knows the outer door code which appears never to change. For that reason we had to abandon our booking and move to different accommodation.
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

Perfect location! Very clean and easy to reach out to the admin
