We had an extremely comfortable staying. The guesthouse is very well located, mid-way between the main bus stations and the city centre. The room was clean, comfy and dry. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, even for a mid/long staying. The staff and the landlord are super kind, easygoing and happy to help in any circumstances. Late-night check in is allowed, which is a must is Icelandic road trips.

Marta Spain

Everyone was super helpful and nice. I had very early arrival and departure times and they were very accommodating.

Julia United States of America

nice kitchen area- good location - staff allowed me to store a large bag for a few days

Kenneth United States of America

This was a basic, old fashioned guesthouse located on a quiet street off the main streets. The room was small, with its own sink, and scrupulously clean. Bed was firm and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. The staff was extremely generous and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked, even some free food. Laundry was free. Guests were quiet and considerate. It was within walking distance of both the main bus station and a large shopping street. It was about two blocks from one of the hop on hop off bus stops and a city bus stop was very close.

Anne United States of America

Simple, but well kept. Not dead central, but still walking distance to most places. Breakfast is basic, but so is its price.

Marius Norway

The staff was incredibly accommodating. We had to leave early in the morning before reception opened and wanted to leave some luggage there. They let us leave our luggage in the room and took it to storage for us, then when we came back to stay afterwards, they placed our luggage in the new room for us. Super helpful! I was also grateful that when I didn't read the laundry hours sign correctly, they let me do a super quick load of laundry, despite having to wash all the sheets. The location was super convenient to get to the bus terminal and an easy walk to downtown. Would definitely recommend!

Stephanie United States of America

Shiyu United States of America

Comfortable little apartment with all you need for a short stay.

Donati Italy

Great kitchen/ dining room. Two bathrooms to use, as well as very friendly hosts!

Mark United States of America

Very clean shared facilities, the owner was always up for a friendly chat as well as other guests, very good atmosphere. Our room was large and there were plenty of towels and linnen. The washing and drying machines were excellent!!

  • Is there a washing machine ? And if yes is it free to use? Also I've been told Iceland is very expensive to eat out . Is the supermarkets equally expensive?
    There is a washing machine which is available to use between 4PM and 10PM. It is free to use. Eating out in Iceland can be very expensive, the grocery stores are much cheaper and we have a fully stocked kitchen which you can use to prepare your meals.
