Liked: Property conditions & facilities
I loved that it was so close to the bus stop and the major street. This is especially appreciated after a long day tour and you just want to rest right away. It is but 3 to 4 minute walk from Bus stop #3. There's also a lot of restaurants in the area and you can walk everywhere.

The guest house was in an excellent location. I was on the second floor. There was just one bathroom for guests in 4 rooms! The coffee machine in the kitchen was not working. So, it was too pricey for the available amenities.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Stayed for only one night en route to Denmark. Our host was wonderful and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. I had read previous reviews that were quite dated but the host explained there had been upgrades since. The bed felt luxurious and the location is perfect for exploring downtown Reykjavik on foot. Bus stop to catch a bus to the airport was about two blocks away. Coffee provided was so good. Bakery around the corner as well as pubs and restaurants. Wonderful (brief) stay for us. Will choose this guesthouse again:)
