    The checkin was super easy, every demand was taken in concern (we wanted to store pur luggage), we really appreciated free coffee on a teracce after arrival after a long day. For a very reasonable price we got a big comfort and very cosy accomodation. The hosts were very nice, the whole place has a nice familiar atmosphere.

    The bathroom is a little tight but I think that's a European thing haha.

    Fantastic location. There was an accident blocking entry when I arrived but I was easily able to navigate there by going around + there was free parking. This place is located right behind Hallgrimskirkja church! There was no staff there when I arrived but they left a paper with my name giving me all the instructions I needed to find my room and get in. I stayed in the backyard guesthouse. Lots of natural light, it's small but cozy!

    Nothing.

    Where do I start, I was exhausted from traveling around Iceland. As soon as I walked in Leo, one of the owners, made me feel at home. Authentic care and attention to travelers needs. Leo showed me the place, the different rooms I can pick from and simply made me feel right at home among long time friend. I needed to do laundry desperately and Leo offered me access to the house laundry facility. That saved me from my hiker clothes sink. Lol The house is so charming, comfortable, clean, quiet and right in the center of everything. I can see the iconic hallgrimskirja church right from the window as it's across the street. The house has a beautiful "soul", full of character with modern amenities. Has an amazing backyard garden where I sipped my coffee and read. There is also a sense of community around here. Travelers share stories, food and snack they no longer need and helpful tips. This is by far the best place I've stayed at in Iceland. If im ever back to Reykjavik I won't be looking or shopping around. It's this home that I'll choose. Thank you Leo and staff for making my visit awesome.

    Very thin walls and could hear everything from my room, room was located in the basement area right under the dining or common area, other guest were making noises with chairs until late night. But all of it is probably my problem, I’m a light sleeper.

    Location, cleanliness, availability of charging adapters, clean bathroom, nice environment, friendly communication. I liked the guesthouse start a lot, price was great and it’s close to the bus station.

    The WiFi didn't fully work for my room, I'm not really sure what the issue was.

    The room and entire guesthouse are super beautiful, the decorations are so charming. The location is so close to the church, and a few minutes walk to the bus stop that does airport transfers.

    Amazing location in the centre of town. We had a room with a shared bathroom which was excellent. The bathroom was always free and shared between few rooms. Beds were super comfortable and the host was very friendly. Shared kitchen was great and had everything we needed.
