While overall the experience was great, there were a few things to note. The bathroom had a slight smell, which is common in Iceland due to the geothermal heating system used for hot water, but it wasn’t a major issue. Towels are only provided upon request, though the staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served in a separate facility, which can get a bit crowded during peak times. Also, there are quite a few stairs to the studio, which might not be ideal if you're carrying large bags. Despite these minor points, it was still a pleasant stay.

The location is absolutely fantastic! We stayed in the studio, which was spacious enough for four people and included the added convenience of a private bathroom and kitchen. Breakfast was included, with a great variety to choose from. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the check-in process was smooth and straightforward. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Thought it was in one main building but it was dotted around. The entrance smelt strong of smoke as the room next door had a fire

Clean, basic and everything is walkable..right by the church and bus stop.

The guesthouse has shared bathrooms, but the number of bathrooms available is not enough for the number of guests, leading to queues for showering in the morning.

The room was comfortable, with a big and very soft bed. The room included a samll kitchen, which was really perfect. The staff was very helpful and nice. The breakfast was good, way better than I expected. The location is just perfect, close to the cathedral and in a very quiet area. Everything was super clean and well organized.

Not much choices for breakfast. I booked for twin bedroom instead I got 3 beds (wasted a lot of space to put my luggage’s). Hot water is too smelly compared to hotel. Not suitable for the people with heavy luggage!

Good location!

The bread at breakfast was gorgeous!

The room was small, which in itself is not a problem - but it was very impractical. For example we didn't have where to hang our wet jackets and pants after our excursions (and they were wet in winter). I'd suggest adding more hooks or bringing your own adhesive ones. I would have liked to have access to some cleaning equipment to be able to wipe the floor or sweep it during the stay since it was not cleaned while we were in it. The fridge! We didn't complain about this so we don't know if it would have been resolved, but the mini fridge we had was freezing all the food we put in it. We adjusted it to the lowest setting but it still did it. Spoiled all of the vegetables and fruit we bought and it was a nuisance to have to take out food for an hour or two to thaw before eating anything.

Location is exquisite, very central. And I really have to praise the hairdryer they have, it's not a standard hotel one that takes you 20 minutes to dry your hair, it is a really good one. The bathroom was decent, being cleaned once daily and we were lucky to share it with people who kept it clean after use.

There's nothing I didn't like! Visitors note when you book Guesthouse Andrea is a separate building around the corner from Guesthouse Aurora but they are run by the same people. Reception and breakfast for Andrea are at Aurora not always clear on booking.com and Google reviews

The room was warm and clean, beds comfortable. We had kettle, microwave and fridge as well as crockery and cutlery, washing up liquid was supplied. Breakfast was in the main Aurora guesthouse was plentiful and had fresh warm bread cereals coffee juices and more. Shared shower room was always clean and tidy. Truly awesome shower. Shower gel was supplied in a dispenser in the shower and was very nice, I have sensitive skin and used no issues. Very central and 5 mins walk from Hallgrímskirkja and main shopping area. A Brauð & Co bakery shop just off the square by Hallgrímskirkja do not listen to Google maps. Also a hot dog stall at the beginning of the same road. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Personally I recommend this guest house highly as a good value for money central place to stay.

Very basic shaired bathroom with showers in not very private.

Good location cheap place to stay. Breakfast was simple but had fresh bread and home made jams.

The bathroom on the second floor in the brown building could do with some cleaning, because. It didn't smell particularly good, and at my final day the shower-curtain fell off.

Excellent location, for a fair price

The breakfast was served in a nearby hotel, and there were simply too many guests for the small area, and lot of them didn't seem to understand the concept of queuing, or sharing a table

Well equipped kitchen

We found a disposable hot pack in one of our beds, probably left by the last visitor. There was no heater in the bathroom, making us a bit cold after shower.

I am kinda surprised with the various breakfast options including different types of drinks, breads and jams, etc. The location is pretty close to the downtown area.

Street parking; it’s noisy by the window; public washroom could maintain better.

Great location; breakfast included.

We booked a family room, but they didn't tell us what floor it was on, they just gave us the key. The host should be more friendly. It's my first time coming to my host's house, so it's natural that I don't know anything.

good

Everything was ok. Lock on a door to studio was weird, we needed to find the right angle.

Good breakfast, as a vegan I had bread with peanut butter and jam. We stayed in studio for one night and it was good. Parking in front of building. Good for self check in in the middle of the night.
