    Traveling by car requires some additional effort, as it is a bit more complicated to park a car close to the hotel, especially when you have heavy luggage.

    The communication with the personnel was good. We had clear instructions on how to get into our room. The shuttle bus from the airport provides a very nice and perfectly managed transportation almost to the door of the hotel. The breakfast diversity is sufficient, and it was tasty. There is a nicely equipped kitchen facility, so one can prepare the food without problems.

    Smallish room but offset by good value and location. Could use a new shower curtain.

    Very convenient location across from #9 transportation stop for tour buses and Flybus. On main thoroughfare with eateries and shopping.

    Not a "posh" property, but you'll pay 3 times the price elsewhere. Highly recommend.

    My one and only quibble is with the bathroom. The building is obviously on the older side, and while the room itself was spotless, the bathroom is on the grody side. This is not due to lack of cleaning. For example, the grout in the shower has darkened in places (mold?) It looks like some water-proofing compound was applied to the base of the shower stall, but it was a sloppy job, making it look a mess and off-putting. Shower stall is also smallish.

    Every staff member I interacted with could not have been more friendly, kind, helpful and accommodating. The location is central to all that Reykjavik has to offer. It's within walking distance of the most popular sights and attractions, with many restaurants in the immediate area. As food is monstrously expensive in all of Iceland, if you want a really budget meal, there is a Bonus grocery store just a 4 minute walk away on Laugavegur. I had a private room and I love that it had a fridge and kettle which was not only for making tea and coffee. I used it for making ramen noodles purchased at Bonus.

    Room was a bit small. With our suitcases open on the floor, there was little space left to walk around.

    Location is really fine with bus stop 9 right down the foot of the building. There’s a supermarket nearby. 10-15min walk from bus stop 8, which was by the Hallgrimskirkja.

    Outdoor signage! When you send a pic of the lock, please include a pic of the corner sign (to find the building) and the plaque by the door (to find the entrance) I was looking for GuestHouse not GISTHUS. You could also say, it’s “next to a Chinese restaurant”. Their signage was prominent. Please add a grab bar because stepping out of the shower and so far down is treacherous with nothing to hold on to.

    Minimalist, inexpensive.

    Small rooms. For the price, I expected a bit more comfort. Noisy street in front of the building.

    Great location right in the center. Nearby free parking. Automated check in anytime. Fully equipped kitchen. It was fairly clean.

    Parking, or lack thereof Need a clear statement that this is guesthouse 101 hotel, a different place than guesthouse 101 a few streets away We arrived at the incorrect location to drop off our bags, no email had been received that morning as promised. No one at wrong address answered the bell, another resident let us inside, so we left our bags and went out for the day. Imagine our surprise when we returned, got into email and had received a description and photo of a very different place. All worked out in the end, but other travelers told us they have had similar experiences.
