We loved the location of this guesthouse, it's very easy to get on and off the highway as well as to go into town. The staff was friendly and everything was clean. It was very warm too! A big plus in the winter :) We recommend this guesthouse!

Rosalba France

Perfect place to explore Reykjavik! Spotlessly clean and hassle free check-in.

Cesar United States of America

We stayed in the apartment located on the lower level. The room was clean and adequate, a very good value for the price. The location was perfect, within walking distance to everything.

Robert United States of America

Lovely manager and owner who let me check in early after a late night flight. The guest house was clean and friendly and absolutely a perfect place to spend a night.

Kate United States of America

Stayed here in 2015 and loved it. Was great now as well. Fine location for walking the city center and free parking a bonus. Comfortable room and beds, shared showers and WC across the hall. Nice kitchen w free coffee and tea. WiFi was very good. Happy to be repeat customer.

Kimmykat13 United States of America

Gary United States of America

The Staff were very helpful. The location although some distance from the City, was within reasonable walking distance of bus stations and the City. I was allocated a larger room that I had reserved and paid for - this was unexpected and a good surprise. The cost was GREAT value for money and I did compare costs with several similar places. The Direct Transportation from and to the airport does include a doorstep drop off and puck up. This comes at an extra cost, but us well worthwhile, particularly if you are arriving and leaving at odd hours.

Mannywij United States of America

We were able to clean our clothes there (multiple washers available) and really appreciated being able to do that. The kitchen has a private fridge for when you don’t want to share your food, and a communal fridge where you can leave food you didn’t eat or want to share. Great concept!

  • 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.
