The location was great- very walkable in the center of town. Parking was easy on the street in front.

Marybeth United States of America

The convenient location close to all the shops, restaurants and museums .

Jola Canada

In Reykjavick for 1 night, close to BSI bus station and to town center. clean, warm and just what I needed. never met anyone as I came after their schedule and left before they came in nxt day but i had no issues getting in and was given very good instructions on everything. would definitely stay again.

Ioana Romania

The location is perfect. Right in the city center. The bed was really comfortable with a soft pillow and a warm cover. We didn't have time to use the kitchen or living room, but it should be nice. Very good value for the money.

Dana Romania

The housekeeping lady was ill when I got there, therefore I could not check in at 1pm. The guesthouse owner came to solve the problem himself to check me in. The room was clean and warm. Heater can be adjusted to increase room temperature. The location is very good for me to take a bus to the Bus Terminal.

The host was very helpful and sociable. We could find anything we want in the kitchen. The room was very spacious. Located in the city centre, close to everything just by walking.

Siwutsigt Norway

Nice spot right next to a park in Reykjavik. Clean facilities and very communicative hosts! We drove there and were easily able to park.

Josie United States of America

The guesthouse is in a great location: in a quiet part of the center. There’s enough parking space (from 6pm to 9am free, otherwise 300 Coronas (2.25 dollars) per hour. Three blocks towards the south parking is for free. Studio B is great for families. The bunk bed fitted our two adult kids. Small but everything you need is there. WiFi works well. Studio B has a separate entrance and even a courtyard with view on the small adjacent park and lake. The courtyard is also accessible for other guests but not many people used it. Loki was very friendly and flexible, we could enter our room before check-in time.
