    Friendly staff, lovely house and room, located right next to the church, with free parking at the church making it very convenient. You can walk to all nearby attractions. The guesthouse does not have an elevator, so it might be slightly inconvenient if you have a lot of large luggage.

    My private bathroom was across the hall from the room which was okay but not ideal. If I would have known that in advance probably would have booked a different room. Also the bed in that room was not comfortable but for the most part loved my stay there.

    Location was very good and staff was excellent.

    Eric the Red guesthouse was perfectly located near the bus station and beside the cathedral. Our group of 16 loved our stay there. We stayed before and after our hike on the Laugavegar Trail - they were so accommodating, the rooms were clean and comfy and I will recommend this place to anyone headed to Reykjavik.

    Spacious room. Very kind owner, let us keep the luggage in the house even on the way back home after a week. Appreciate very much that we didn't have to move around Reykjavík with the suitcases. House is less than 100m from bus stop 8, which is perfect for pickup to the airport. Definitely will choose this place for the next stay in Reykjavík.

    The hairdryer was not working but we could borrow one from our neighbor. A double bed instead of two single beds would have been nice, though I guess we could have specifically asked for one and got the default option instead (?). The midnight sun might be a problem for sensitive people in summer, but of course this is a common issue (not specifically relevant for this guest house) and can be easily addressed with a sleeping mask.

    Location is superb (very close to Hallgrímskirkja and 101 pedestrian areas, easily reachable by car from outside the city), parking was no issue (e.g. Mímisvegur). The room was well-endowed (including sink and mirror) and charming, toilet and shower were in a separate bathroom outside. Well managed, attention to detail noticable everywhere around the house, welcoming and compassionate atmosphere. Fantastic coffee and bakery options nearby.

    It really had the extra step. Offered fresh coffee, also breakfast although it wasn’t included in the price. It even offered free gas canisters left behind by other tourists. I loved how caring the staff was and also its location. Perfect stay in Reykjavik. Great value for money. My husband is really picky and he really loved stayin there.
