Location was great. Walkable to a lot of great restaurants and shopping in Reykjavík. Stayed here my last night as a budget place to stay, and felt very comfortable. No complaints, great as a solo traveler

This was a lovely place in years past but has probably changed management. We did not get any check-in information in advance, just an email reminding us of check-out time, so we had to call someone and wait on the sidewalk in the rain for him to come let us inside. While checking in we overheard two couples who had reservations but were being told that the guesthouse had no rooms for them. We felt lucky that we at least got a room. The room and bathrooms were clean but not supplied adequately: there were no hand towels in the common bathroom, and while there was a sink and towels in the room, there was no soap. The room was rather loud, both from outdoor noise and other guests coming and going in the middle of the night.

Considering everything in Iceland costs an arm and a leg this place was affordable and overall just okay. The room was spacious but there is nobody actually here so if you need help with anything good luck, in our case one of our windows lacked a blind curtain or anything. Normally this would not be a big deal however consider that the Sun set at 12 am and rose again at 3 am… Yeah so none of us slept well at all. I emailed about this issue with no response. Was looking forward to the hot tub but it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month and after 5 min was no warmer than some bath water (plus no bubbles). Place was overall as I said okay I’m not a picky person but when the sun is steaming in my face at 3:30 am I get a little upset. See photo taken at 4:30 am for reference as too the brightness without a blind on the window.

Tried to communicate with them for 5 days before my trip to Iceland. I needed some info about getting in and storing my bags from my early morning/overnight flight while I went on a tour. Messaged them 3 times and didn’t get any response. I ended up booking somewhere else and ate my cost cause I couldn’t cancel. I finally received a message after my check in time (which was 8 hours after I arrived in Reykjavik. Poor communication. Would not recommend.

i stayed here with my brother and my friend. the room and property was quiet and we felt safe the whole time. a shared washroom was just outside our room, which was very convenient. parking is on the street and when we arrived, there were no spots left. so we had to drive around quite a bit before we found a spot! overall and excellent stay and did the job: a safe place to rest before we continued on our way.

This property is well located, and clean. If you are a young traveller who does not mind being up all night. This is clearly a party house, hot tub was used till the very early morning. There is a kettle in your room but no cups or spoons. There was no key in the door when we arrived so we had to leave our stuff in an unlocked room or miss our excursions. When we reported this the staff they were reluctant to tell us when it would be resolved and we had to chase three more times to get and locate the key. I have to say Iceland is so beautiful that this did not dampen our spirits but the other noisy thoughtless guests meant no sleep really for four nights.

In the end the room we ended up with was fine. Thought we were getting a shared bathroom accommodation but ended up with the entire 1st floor apartment. Though that wasn't clearly communicated right away. Biggest drawback is the proximity to the street. The windows are paper thin and we could hear everyone walk past them in the night.

This property made my dream come true. I was asked if I wanted to receive calls for northern lights, and the staff called every guest like me. Additionally, the breakfast was excellent, hot tub and sonar rooms etc were also great. It was definitely the top one hotel in my entire journey!!!
