It’s an older property, and therefore a little less soundproofed than well-built modern places, but that doesn’t detract from the comfort. It’s clean, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and we weren’t left wanting for anything. The centre of the eating and shopping area is a short and pleasant walk away.
We enjoyed this Guesthouse immensely! It was close to town, making the city walkable, near bus stops to catch Hop-on-and-off Bus, or walk to the Harbor. It was clean, easy to find, and very comfortable! Shared bathrooms, but very clean too. We will use again!
i stayed here with my brother and my friend. the room and property was quiet and we felt safe the whole time. a shared washroom was just outside our room, which was very convenient. parking is on the street and when we arrived, there were no spots left. so we had to drive around quite a bit before we found a spot! overall and excellent stay and did the job: a safe place to rest before we continued on our way.
This property made my dream come true. I was asked if I wanted to receive calls for northern lights, and the staff called every guest like me. Additionally, the breakfast was excellent, hot tub and sonar rooms etc were also great. It was definitely the top one hotel in my entire journey!!!
The property is 3 stories high and huge. Each floor has toilet & bathroom. Very convenient for the renters. Everywhere is tidy and clean. Close to BSI, downtown. The owner is very responsive. Loved the place I stayed. Would recommend to anyone.
Very clean and comfortable. Speedy response to email enquiry
Great area
No shared kitchen or breakfast sitting areas. No laundry access

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff were accommodating; door code not included with check-in information and keypad hard to locate initially; close to BSI Terminal, domestic airport and Kronan grocery store; quiet street but periodic flight noise; large room with mini-fridge and kettle (no kitchen); windows that open and close; room was clean but bathrooms less so; no site staff to manage other guests coming in confused or loud and late
The property was convenient to the transportation options, it was close to the downtown area and other sightseeing areas. The only issue we had was not being able to get into the property because we didn’t have the code for the door. We had to call the number, and the gentleman gave us the code over the phone.

Considering everything in Iceland costs an arm and a leg this place was affordable and overall just okay. The room was spacious but there is nobody actually here so if you need help with anything good luck, in our case one of our windows lacked a blind curtain or anything. Normally this would not be a big deal however consider that the Sun set at 12 am and rose again at 3 am… Yeah so none of us slept well at all. I emailed about this issue with no response. Was looking forward to the hot tub but it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month and after 5 min was no warmer than some bath water (plus no bubbles). Place was overall as I said okay I’m not a picky person but when the sun is steaming in my face at 3:30 am I get a little upset. See photo taken at 4:30 am for reference as too the brightness without a blind on the window.
Location was great. Walkable to a lot of great restaurants and shopping in Reykjavík. Stayed here my last night as a budget place to stay, and felt very comfortable. No complaints, great as a solo traveler
