    The stairs - it’s spiral and a bit narrow especially if you need to negotiate it with a heavy luggage. Seniors or those with some mobility difficulties would find the stairs very challenging.

    Did not have their breakfast but coffee / tea is available for free at anytime. Location is great. It’s within walking distance to eateries, shopping, attractions and a short drive away to the Perlan Museum - a must go.

    Terrible flat pillows.

    Proximity to downtown. Clean and quiet despite the many rooms. Easy free parking. Complimentary coffee. Although shared bathroom, there was a sink in our double room. This is more like a hostel than a hotel, but perfect for our one night stay in Reykjavik.

    Did not like laundry room was only available until 10pm (11pm would be better). Also ended up that my room was in their "annex", which was around the corner, so not in the main building.

    Easy walking distance from the main bus station to the airport. You check yourself in. Waking distance to the cathedral/main tourist shopping district.

    Bit of struggle from bus station over gravel etc but otherwise really excellent value for money. Area is residential on main road but short walk to centre of town.

    Plain , spotless , comfy beds with good black out. Warm and large bathroom with unending hot water. Cozy kitchen with free hot drinks and tables to sit at. 10 mins walk from bus station. Staff immediately contactable and friendly. Lovely chatting to fellow travellers too.

    There were cats roaming around the 2 shared rooms, kitchen and dining room with all that this implies for hygiene issues and for people allergic to cats. The cats seemed completely familiar with the area and where we had our fork a moment ago they were walking on the shared floors. The cats seemed completely familiar with the space and where we had our fork a moment ago, they were strolling on the communal tables and chairs in the dining room and on the food preparation counters in the kitchen, something that is at least unacceptable for human hygiene conditions. The sheets and towels were old and worn but at least clean. I also didn't like the mattress.

    The host is a very kind and pleasant person, once we asked him to help us solve a small problem with a local tour operator and he immediately agreed to help us and we thank him very much for that. Even though there were shared bathrooms, we did not see anything to concern us in terms of cleanliness. The water we bathed in smelled of sulfur but from what I read it is a situation that exists everywhere in Reykjavik. Relatively close to the BSI bus station and to get to the famous pedestrian streets and sights of the capital. Easy check in - check out... Especially at checkout just close the door.

    I knew about the shared bathroom and it worked extremely well but I decided I am a little old for the arrangement. A clothing hook or 2 would be a convenience in the bath as there is no place to hang your towel or clothes. Everything was adequate and appropriate to the price. There is even a kitchen on each floor so people can save by eating their own food. A great budget place to stay.

    I liked that they accommodated me for a second night. Something Booking never figured out. My stay was 2 nights. The room was comfortable and I had lots of coffee and tea whenever I wanted. The staff offer lots of advice via email but are only around in the morning. They let you be independent. Great location to the bus terminal and downtown. At the same time they are very friendly.

    Studio B had no kettle, not as self-contained as we expected. Whereas Studio A was much better and bigger. They seemed to be the same price. Laundry facilities not working well. Machines erroring and out of order meant we had to leave things to dry further overnight.

    Good shared kitchen/dining facilities. Quiet. Convenient to leave luggage while we were away for a week. Friendly staff.

    Our room was in another building than the reception and breakfast room. Not a problem for us, but maybe good to know that the guesthouse is divided in two this way.

    Our first overnight stay on this trip to Iceland. Very welcoming and super nice hosts, a "public secret" 5 e breakfast for guests (coffee & toast & cereal, enough to get you going on the road), quiet room with good bed and functional bathroom en suite. Free parking very easy close by/on the streets. Short walk to Halgrimskirkja & the main street, swimming hall close by as well.

    I would have liked a small desk in the room.

    The room was small but comfortable, there is a kitchen and dining room upstairs, where one can eat and cook. The location is very convenient, close to the BSI and also close to the center of town.

    The 'apartment' is just another (larger) room in a back-side attachment to the main building. It has its own toilet and shower, cooking table, and sink though.

    It is a walking distance from downtown. The place is very quiet and peaceful. I loved the wildflower garden! They have bouquets of fresh wild flowers on tables. Very elegant.

    Rooms are rather small and mattresses are rather soft.

    The location is very good : very near de BSI bus terminal (where you can take a Flybus to the airport) and at the same time very near the city centre and the world famous Perlan museum. Kitchen is well-equipped and very clean.
