Location was great. In the middle of the main street of town. Short walk to Bus Stop 7 for pick up and drop off to Keflavik Airport. Many stores, cafe's, and restaurants surrounding the guesthouse. Cozy room and comfortable bed.

This is a lovely hidden gem in Reykjavik. Tucked away from the noise. The owner let us leave our bags in the house before check-in time, which was great since our flight landed at 6:00 am. She also let us check-in a bit earlier. We LOVED our stay there!

Everything. The unit is right at Laugavegur which is the main street in Reykjavik for shopping, food, pubs, restaurants, and more. It's not far to the public train stop.

“Location, location!”

1 bathroom to be shared around. Not something we'd have minded if other guests were a little bit more courteous (someone had forgotten to flush the toilet!). A little noisy at times but we were upstairs and it wasn't so bad.
Location! Close to the church, cafes and our car rental. I liked how quaint the property was and the self check-in made it easy for us to get in late and check out early. Didn't get to use the kitchen but it seemed reasonably well equipped.

“Very cozy guesthouse in the heart of Reykjavik!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
Only one bathroom for for the entire guesthouse. Sinks in the room helped with some morning ritual requirements but if you need to use the toilet in the morning, you may have to wait until others guests are finished. I also left two cans of Icelandic beer on the day of my arrival in the refrigerator to remain cool and drink later. The next morning, someone else had taken them.
Location was great. In the middle of the main street of town. Short walk to Bus Stop 7 for pick up and drop off to Keflavik Airport. Many stores, cafe's, and restaurants surrounding the guesthouse. Cozy room and comfortable bed.

“Pleasant stay”

Although the apartment is nicely decorated and very comfortable, the sound proofing is not great. It gets noisy in the early morning when people push their carts at the outdoor lane next to the apartment, and the water piping is noisy when the water flushes.
Location wise it is very convenient, as it is near the shopping district and plenty of good restaurants around.
