Surprisingly nice after having read recent reviews, we were for one night at the second floor witch looks pretty good and lucky that there were not a lot of guests. The sheared bath is renovated but the shower was not cleaned, spots of red mold were visible between tiles. Very well situated, minutes away from downtown.
The room was comfortable and clean, as well as the bathroom and kitchen. Loved the coffee machine for breakfast and was a very enjoyable space to have breakfast in. Great location and managed to park right in front of it. Close to Halgrimskirkja and square, which was useful too
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.

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!
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
