Set in a building dating back to 1916, this Reykjavík guest house is within 5 minutes’ walk of the popular Laugavegur shopping street. Both WiFi and private, on-site parking are free.

Location was amazing! Only 10 minutes from the main tourist areas in Reykjavik but in a neighborhood so it wasn't too busy. We found free street parking literally right across from the place as well. The building is beautiful and the rich history is very cool!

Located in the calm Thingholt neighborhood, this family-owned guest house is in Reykjavik is just 1476 feet from the shopping Laugavegur Street. Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center is 0.7 mi...

The location was good, near bus stop 8, easy walking distances in the city. My bed was comfortable. There were plenty of hangers. The shared bathroom didn't present any problems, rarely ran into other guests. The breakfast was decent. You had to be there early for some of the items offered as they were not replaced once gone. I liked having a frig, sink and some dishes in the room.

Grótta Northern Lights - Apartment & Rooms provides beachfront accommodations in Reykjavík.

The place was very quiet and cute decorated, You have fully equipped and cozy kitchen. You can have some coffee, tea, cereal, etc. Every room has different name on the door, with very cute keys by the way. The staff is very kind and can help you whenever you need. They invited us to a complimentary breakfast in the main property Blue House B&B - Icelandic pancakes and coffee. They also inform you if the sky is clear, and where you can catch the Aurora - next to the property 2min up the hill or on Grotta lighthouse 25 min walking. RECOMMEND Iceland is amazing. 🇮🇸❤️

Audur Guesthouse offers accommodations in Reykjavík, 1.4 miles from Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach and 29 miles from Blue Lagoon.

Location is very practical, although not at the very center, it is a 10-15 minutes walk to the church and the main bus terminal which is very convenient for airport transfer and tour pickups. The house is located on a main roadside so there was a little traffic noise but it was very convenient for drop offs, you can literally get off from the tour bus in front of the house. Shared bathroom was always super clean, I haven’t seen any one using it. Room was very cozy and warm.

    Very friendly host, who gave us a few tips about the city and detailed tour of the flat. You've got everything you need there. It is so nice furnished you even got a massage sofa and big screen tv with a mirroring option and HDMI cable. Fully equipped kitchen and bath with window. Free parking outside the premise and just few tens of meters away from paid parking zone, so the city center is very near (10min walk). We were 2 couples staying there for 4 nights, I could imagine us staying longer. Nice quiet neighborhood. Def value the money.

    Lovely new, clean hostel, the staff were really great and helpful and it is a short (easy, 5-10 minute) walk from the Central bus station and a short, nice walk (10 minutes) to the city centre. It is cheaper than the hostels right in the city centre and excellent value for money. Plus the WiFi was brilliant. Definitely recommend👍

    This hostel is in a great location. Easy walk to BSI, the main streets and buses. Pool next door. Cheaper restaurants nearby.

    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.

    Plenty of toilets (4) and showers (3), kind hosts who were eager to help with small favours, tasty smörgåsbord breakfast, quiet rooms, classic Reykjavík home guesthouse! Easy access to city center by short walk.

    Baron's Hostel is cheap, super clean, with very confortable beds. Dormitories are small, thus quiet. The hosts are charming and very helpful. The location is excellent, close to city centre and BSI. There's an excellent swimming pool just accross the street, with hot pots to relax after a busy day. I could'nt wish for a better place to stay in Reykjavik.

    A great location in central Reykjavik. Easy waking to main attractions and a great base to explore further afield. Comfortable, quiet and warm apartment with cheap parking options (if onsite parking is full). Correspondence with the hosts was very efficient.

    Access to the guesthouse is by email instructions which were clear and helpful. This is one of the cheapest hotels available at the moment in Reykjavik but the room was clean and bright. Wifi was good, shared bathroom also clean - if rather small - and the staff helpful. Bed was basic but comfortable and I slept well. The hotel is in a good location near to the city centre but in a quiet area.

    Great location, relatively close to BSÍ and the city center. (10min walks) Quiet room with nice garden view. All of my requests were met and communication was great with the guesthouse. For this pricepoint, I'd recommend it.
