*8.8* Hallgrímskirkja Church: only 3 minutes away! (550 feet by foot)
Excellent location - very close to Hallsgrimkirkja (the large cathedral) so easy to walk around the central city. Our accommodations were very comfortable and clean. We had a triple with a private bathroom. Parking is on street based on availability, but we did not have any trouble. The breakfast included was excellent. Eric the Red is not the fanciest or most newly renovated, but it was very comfortable and more than adequate for our needs.
United States of AmericaGreat host, great location and lovely breakfast all guests on one table.
NetherlandsIt was lovely and clean. The location is amazing wish we had stayed a few more days.
United States of AmericaThe guesthouse is literally two blocks away from the central bus station and almost across the street from the bus stop 8(church) where the tours depart. I found more efficient to use the bus from the airport to the CBS and just walk instead of switching shuttles, it was faster and cheaper too. The shower had great pressure and hot water. Breakfast was excellent and for the day I left early they prepared a lunch box. Very good value for the money.
United States of AmericaThey had a cute and friendly 🐈 cat. Also breakfast ist good and the location is great.
United Arab Emiratesfriendly and helpful stuff great location tasty breakfast cousy warm room and facilities
RussiaTotally worth it for the friendly staff and breakfast alone as the prices in Iceland are quite high!
United States of AmericaIt's located at a very good location. Easy access to BSI bus terminal and Hallgrimskirkja. Property is clean and the hosts are very good.
NetherlandsThe guesthouse was super close to Hallgrimskirkja and bus stop 8 which made travel from the airport and pick up from our tour extremely easy. Janek and Edda were very accommodating. Janek was very helpful and gave us very detailed instructions upon checkin because our flight came in late. Breakfast was very good and you meet several travelers during different parts of their stay in Reykjavik. All in all a fantastic stay.
PhilippinesPleasant,reasonably priced B.andB.,within easy walking distance of city centre.Quiet location with warm and comfortable bedroom.Good breakfast-hot porridge,cereals,cold buffet and freshly-baked bread.Helpful and amenable staff.
