The room had absolutely everything we needed. It was very cozy and warm, the bed was comfortable and the heated bathroom floor was especially appreciated! The shared kitchen was also clean and helpful, everything we could think of was provided, coffee, tea, utensils, fridge, microwave etc and even milk and cream for our beverages. It is a nice quiet neighborhood, with a Bonus supermarket very close and a short walk from the centre, near a bus stop for the tours and in general easy to walk almost everywhere. Staff were also very explanatory and kind and provided all the information needed. Thank you for everything, we would stay there again!

They provide everything they say at the expected quality (or higher). I did not say anything about their WiFi because I did not need to use their WiFi. Otherwise, late check in at 2AM was not a problem, they provided clear instructions: key code to enter reception at Freyjugata 24 to pickup the key of the building and room where I had to go and a plan of their buildings at Freyjugata and Njardgata streets. Towels were provided at the reception when they opened, at 7:30AM. Everything was clean. Breakfasts were good, abundant good quality food. Hot water radiators really hot, so the small high window that staid open for ventilation in the showers room was not a problem. Microwave, fridge and electric tea kettle in the room were functional. Plates and silverware were also provided in the room. One toilet per floor (3 rooms) but it was not a problem for me, I only staid 1 week and I was still "operating" according to the time zone I come from.

I loved staying here rather than in a sterile hotel. The location was perfect....I walked everywhere and lots of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. Instructions very clear and I liked that there were no staff. Warm and a comfy bed with great kitchen facilities.

homely feeling. well-equipped kitchen. very clean room. everything you need. as a solo traveler I'm happy to get a room just for myself for a similar price, instead of a room in a hostel that you have to share with several roommates. wonderful warm blanket. you can feel that the hosts respect and unobtrusively take care of their guests.

The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!

Very good price for a single room in Reykjavik, was even cheaper than dorm-beds in some hostels! Good location, only a few minutes walk to city center. Supermarket next door, still the street itself is rather quiet. Very clean and also has basic equipment for cooking.
