to get started.

The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We were able to check in early and take a nap after our overnight flight, which was great. Parking was no problem and the location is walking distance to most things you want to see in Reykjavik.

Super helpful owner - so friendly and welcoming. Complete kitchen facilities. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Convenient location. Great value!

Karen

Great espresso, clean, quiet, safe, good location for tourists as 15 minute walk to tourist district but in a neighborhood.

Dianne

United States of America

This guesthouse became our home away from home. The owner is so sweet and helpful, going out of his way to help make our stay successful. He stored our extra luggage while we were traveling, two times, and for a FREE. The kitchen is well equipped and clean, with plenty of fridge storage. Shared bathrooms were clean, rooms were clean, comfy beds, and so quiet. Location was perfect ~ within walking distance of restaurants, bus station, grocery store, and other attractions. The prices for these rooms were very reasonable - some of the lowest we paid for lodging in Iceland. The staff made us feel welcome, and made our stay so easy, comfortable, and worry free. The flower garden around the entrance, with picnic tables and a sweet kitty made staying here even more enjoyable. You'll love staying here!

Access to full kitchen, great espresso (free), access to washer/dryer, great location that is quiet and a short walk to harbor district. Owner let us store luggage while we were on a multi-day hike.

Dianne

United States of America

Clean, quiet, small number of rooms on a floor so that shared bathrooms and kitchen were not crowded. Pretty yard and quiet location. Owner very nice and helpful.

Made my own breakfast in the kitchen facilities provided. Good parking for our hire car near the house, and not far to walk to the start of the shopping street

It was nice to have a room just to myself. Sure, it could have been a double bed. It was small, but cosy, and at the end of the day, it was large enough to store my bags and still able to rest and relax. It was also conveniently located and staff was also very helpful replying quickly to any texts.

Overall, I was glad to stay at the guesthouse. It was quiet, easy to access amenities, and unobtrusive.

Nothing at all. Everything was perfect.
The owner was very helpful and generous. We booked 1 room for 4 people, but he upgraded with 2 rooms for 4 people. The hostel is very close to city center. Hallgrimskirkja Church is just 5 minutes walk far. You can take your breakfast but if you dont want you can prepare your breakfast. Kitchen utilities were very adequate and it is favorable for price.

The only thing I liked about the place is - Easy checkin. Apart from that, the room was cold although the heater was running. There is a basin weirdly placed right beside the bed !! The toilet was small and few basin & commode was broken !! I stayed 8 guesthouses all over the Iceland during my 10 days Iceland ring-road tour. This was the worse one I stayed !!!

Igdlo Guesthouse is perfect for travellers! Good location, cosy and clean. The shared bathroom was always clean!! Kitchen is very well equipped, we loved it. You have opportunity to make a coffe or a hot tea for free anytime. Our room was basic, but optimal for travellers. Hosts were really flexible, it was easy to get in after the check in hours, because we received every detail in advance. I recommend it for everyone! : )

The window of my room looked to the street, which did not bother me for this limited time i stayed there (1 week), but would've been a little less comfortable for longer period. It is of course possible to roll down the blinds, but then you have to use lamps all the time.
Location was perfect, 15 minutes from the centre and 20 minutes from the ocean. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Everything was handled professionally. It was easy to navigate to the apartment with the helpful notifications they sent me before I got there.

“Good value for money and informal.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
Sleeping quality depends a lot on the other boarders as contact noise is easily heard and the electronic doorlocks beep loud. You could leave you room open if you are just popping out to the bathroom? Mind you that my room was next to the shared bathroom. Some of the facilities are a bit tired like the shared shower surroundings which is also a bit hard to keep dry (curtain). Small details but in general it all works. I never really met any management on location as I was out most of the time but there are notes everywhere to help you out. Scavenger hunt :-)
Score comes out somewhat low when I fill in the different aspects of the accommodation by the letter. I stayed just a couple of days but I was really 8- happy with my stay. Perhaps it is a bit unconventional here and it does not fit the general bill. It is generally clean, easy come and easy go, well located and has an informal youth hostel like charm but without the chaos. The bus terminal is conveniently nearby although the building site of the hospital in between, is puzzling. Igdlo has kindly updated directions every time though. Nice. Did not expect a tv here, could not get the regular TV channels to work but apps and netflix were good. Also liked the painting in my room!
