Shared kitchen and bathroom were good, room was great except the curtains were not large enough to cover all the windows so we had lots of natural light all night, parking was limited but close by, excellent location overall and price was good
We enjoyed our stay. The room was a good size. Everyone was nice. Parking was a bit rough we would get back late but was never too far. Kitchen was very clean and useful. Everything was clean. Curtains to block out the sun were useful.
This is a good, affordable place for those who are traveling on a budget, and like to be downtown. Everything is is walking distance.
We had a nice room, right next to the shared bathroom. Everything was clean and well maintained.
The kitchen had a nice espresso machine, but no freezer.
We didn't use the laundry machines, but there were available in the basement.
Overall very positive experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean rooms and shared kitchen and bathroom. It lacked a toilet in the room and a place to brush tooth. Excellent choice for a night but for a week I would recommend more comfort.
Wonderful property - we stayed here twice during our trip and both times we had a great stay. The staff were very accommodating with our questions and requests as well. Note that if you’re bringing large luggage parking can be a bit of a challenge but regardless it is definitely still worthwhile staying here!
Just needed a place to lay my head for a night after hiking the Laugavegur trail. Office staff kept my large bag fro me for a few hours while I walked around Reykjavik, which I appreciated.

Good location, a few blocks away from the cathedral and downtown, and good spaces.
Guesthouse was immaculate and staff very helpful. Excellent location and bus stop outside door although we walked everywhere. Would highly recommend for cleanliness and value.
Really great stay at Nordurey guesthouse. It’s very comfortable and clean and the rooms are modern and recently decorated. The location is very convenient and we found parking very easily. The kitchen is so handy and has everything you would need. I would stay here again if I came to Reykjavik
Nice and clean. Great location. Great customer service.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location was fantastic. Check in was easy. Staff seemed to come in regularly and take out the trash and tiddy up the bathrooms. The couch for the third person to sleep on was awful. There was a lot of mold in the shower and the drain didn’t work well. You had to continually shut the water off during your shower so it didn’t flood the bathroom. Staff was notified and they were able to have maintenance clean the drain the following day. Customer service was good. Overall, the location was worth the stay.
Shared kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed for meals. One bathroom per floor of 3 rooms so there were people from other floors coming to ours to use the bathroom. Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was hot!
The room was big and the bed was comfortable. If you are a light sleeper like myself then the traffic road noise maybe an issue. We physically checked in at 10 pm and left at 4 AM to leave for the airport.
Was a very peaceful place to return back to every night. Had good free street parking for our rental car. Very walkable to downtown Reykjavik. Nice kitchen. Clean. Only had problems with consistent internet. Otherwise, a great place at a reasonable price.
We loved our stay at the guesthouse, from the convenient location to the coffee maker in the kitchen. It had everything we needed at a good price. Customer service really helped us out by checking to see if we could drop our bags off a few hours earlier than the regular check-in time. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and seating area. When we rented a car at the last minute, we had no trouble finding free parking. We would definitely stay here again!
Modern rooms and kitchen. Not too far from the city centre and easy to walk to.
They allowed us to enter early to drop off our bags which was a massive bonus otherwise we would have been stuck with them most of the afternoon. There was no front desk and we had to phone to gain entrance codes but not sure how else we would have got in as they weren't sent in advance
