Shared bathroom was nice and clean, but not enough for 8 people. Often had to wait to use.

Location was great and the staff were lovely and very helpful. Rooms were nice, and duvets were awesome. Washing sink in the room was great.

I didn’t find staff overly enthusiastic about being at their workplace.

Excellent location.

The soundproofing was not the best, you could hear everything from the corridor and from the upper floors. We couldn't sleep much in the morning because of this. In the bathroom the water pressure was sometimes not the best, so we had to wait a while because the water didn't come properly.

Simple but practical accommodation in the city centre. Breakfast was delicious. The communal kitchen was well equipped and guests could cook their own meals after breakfast. The room was comfortable and spacious. The shared bathroom was very close to the rooms, luckily there were not too many rooms per bathroom so we never had to wait long. The whole accommodation was very clean, we would love to return in the future.

It would have been nice if there was a comforatble communal space - the combined reception/kitchen/breakfast room/communal space was a kind of basement conservatory, and it was functional, but not particularly comforatable.

This was the 2nd time we stayed here, and last time we were in a separate building to our friends. This time I requested being in the same building, prefereably the main building, and we got neighbouring rooms in the main building. So big thumbs up for that. We were given 2 family rooms (2 singles and 2 bunks), rather than the double and twin that I'd booked, but that wasn't really a problem, the beds were comfy, the rooms were clean, and there was a wash basin in the room. The location is really conveniant for the centre of Reykjavik, and only a couple of minutes walk from Hallsgrimkirche

The kitchen was under renovation and the toilet was not very well lit, with the shower flooding during every use.

Love the homey breakfast and warm host who helped show us the rooms. The location is fantastic only a 2 min walk from the main street. Room was very spacious!

Friendly service & host, great breakfast, excellent location. Really enjoyable.

We had a room that is accessed by stairs, it is always worth clarifying this at the time of booking. The building was undergoing some renovation work, but anyway, they kept the place in good, clean condition. Breakfast can get crowded at certain times.

A very friendly staff, located in the heart of Reykjavik, makes the place a very good option to stay. It has a shared kitchen and offers a good breakfast. We took the option of a double room with a shared bathroom; everything was in very good condition and clean. There was no noise during the night, something to keep in mind for families and people looking for a good rest after a long day. Bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and all kinds of shops are within walking distance.

We liked everything. I don't have any suggestions for changes.

The location is great -- easy walking to all the sights and to an excellent bakery and coffee shop. The room was clean and comfortable and tea making facilities were available all day.

Of course we were aware that we would be sharing a bathroom which was fine, but the bathroom was one stall, with two shower stalls for the whole floor.

Nice breakfast, especially considering this guesthouse was like a very nice hostel--

Very convenient location about 11 mins walk from BSI bus station. Nice place near Hallgrimskirkja which is an excellent landmark for locating back to the accommodation as it stands high over Reykjavik. Good breakfast provided.

The propriety in central location, very close to the cathedral, and the room was small but very comfortable and clean. Simple but well-stocked breakfast. I really enjoyed the stay and would happily return. Thank you!

Needed to adjust lock on bathroom door. Minor but challenging.

Great location. Super quiet.

Some noise from adjacent room and bathroom: not too bothersome

Excellent location

There isn’t staff available, the reception is non existent (it’s more like self service). The bathrooms are a little bit small but for the rest is pretty nice place.

The property is nice located, the design of the room look pretty well preserved and “modern”. It’s right next to the church so you can hear the bells but not in the main road with the noise and bars…

The breakfast room is super tight, it was a bit hard to sit together with the group and bags (because after that we had to catch the transfer for bus tour). They didn't serve any fruit, just tomato and cucumber (I guess because they are expensive there). I don't mind myself, I enjoyed bread, milk and butter, but my friends who are vegan/alergic/lactose intolerant didn't have many options there. It was a bit late, started 7:30, which is unsuitable to get bus rides with pick up at 8am. Also at some point the power was suddenly off and we had to call for help. The first person was a bit rude like "what do you want me to do?". Being without power in a place where weather is -20C and you don't speak the language or have anyone to help can be super frightening, but a second staff person then assumed and was kind and solved the issue by pointing us to the switch panel to reset it.

The room was with good space to share in four people (two beds and one bunk bed), also we had access to a kitchen with couch shared with another room, so plenty of space for someone to use it to make a call etc. The shower was good, but sharing a single toilet of 4 people with other 4 more probably might be challenging, specially not having a separated toilet without shower. But we could use the one at the breakfast area too, which looked reserved to other room. They offered us to store the luggage there at the breakfast area which helped a lot, also assisted with different guests arriving at different times to get the keys. They had towels, dryer, cabinets, the basics.

Rooms very small Fruit and some hot food be a good addition for breakfast The fridge could be bit colder and would rather use fridge in kitchen then on second floor as seems like food be kept fresher

Bed

Breakfast very good .. shared bathroom fine .. small room bed mattress too soft for me so hard to sleep .. room comfortably warm, fridge microwave utensils provided we didnt use, but it’s a great option for some guests I’m sure. Location spot on.
