to get started.

The location was great and they were extremely accommodating.

Jessica, United States of America

The room and the location was great. Really downtown with busses for the excursions in front of you. It was clean and the people are nice and can help you with everything. There is a kitchen you can use, we did that in the morning. You can meet other people and share things you ve seen. If I go back I will go to this guesthouse again!

Marja, Netherlands

Very cute little guesthouse at a fantastic location - shops, bars, sights within walking distance. Good places to eat everywhere around it! The rooms were cute and quirky! We particularly found the bathrooms near us to be very clean and comfortable, especially for shared facility. For the price we paid this was a gem!

Elizabete, Latvia

Fantastic location. The staff handled my key situation quickly through email and even changed the lock in case someone had stolen the key.

The location is great, right next to the beginning of Laugavegur street. On street parking is plentiful and cheap. Rooms are clean.

There was not much to like here. Rooms were average size, location was good if you’re into downtown noise and being next to it over a bar.

An Inside Look at Centric Guesthouse

The house was built in 1904 which makes it one of the oldest houses in Reykjavik. You will feel it when you enter the front door and you will hear it when you walk the stairs. It has played a big role in Reykjavik history for instance was the telecommunication service in this house at the time of the second world war. Since then it has hosted many buisnesses, for instance photo developing company and camera repairing, optical studio and clock repairing. Many restaurants have been at our first floor and today we have Messinn, who is popular seafood restaurant.

The location is definitely unbeatable! Bus stop number 3 was just a few steps from the accommodation, and right infront of it is a coffee shop. Almost all of Reykjavik attractions are walking distance from this accommodation. Room was also huge - very unexpected.

A number if things weren't ok with this visit. I never received the email prior to my visit with the door access number to start. Since the lobby is unattended I had to call to speak to someone to get access. There's no elevator, so lugging 4 suitcases up 3 flights of stairs really wasn't a great experience. Once in the room we found dirty decorative pillows, and the scary shower with a used bar if soap just added to the unpleasant experience. I didn't expect much but a clean room would have been nice.
The location was fantastic. Easy access to everything from this hotel, and the view was decent.

There was no elevator, this stop was at the end of 2 month vacation so my bags were pretty heavy and it was hard to get up to the third floor on my own.
The location was great and they were extremely accommodating.

No one at reception desk, fortunately check in was easy and we didn't need help with anything. Can be noisy at night as it's like a hostel with people coming and going.
Very convenient and clean hotel, great location. Easy self check-in with PIN number provided. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms for the price.

We paid for a private bathroom and the bathroom flooded after showering, and the vent went directly out side, with nothing in between so the bathroom would be freezing if the door was shut. The owners aren't there most of the time, so we couldn't get help with any of our complaints.
The room it self was very cozy, and you couldn't beat the location! The bus stop for all our tours was directly outside the hotel! There are so many restaurants, cafes, and bars around, so there is plenty to experience!
