Nothing at all

Central location and great value for money! Great view towards the harbour from our balcony. Will definitely stay at this place again!

On booking.com they said breakfast was served from 7:00, but it was served from 7:30 from October till April, which was a problem as I had to be at the meeting point for my trips early enough. Those 30 minutes made a difference i.e. I didn't have time to eat breakfast.

Good location, clean, super nice staff

Stayed in May 2024

Fine accommodation all in all, but it was not super clean, the room was very small and even though it was cleansed the small was a bit off, it was quite noisy when other guests came in (good thing that there is a silent policy from 22-7am), and there was some confusion about breakfast time (later than I uderstood when I booked, so I had to change a bus trip that I wanted to join). The staff was not always present but easy to reach by phone and very helpful with these minor issues.

I would say it's an okay place to stay a few nights, on the budget side in Iceland, but do only expect basic comfort. The location is perfect though and it's an advantage that breakfast is served here, as well as availability of a kitchen to cook your own meals.

There was some confusion with our reservation. Had booked 2 rooms for a 2 night stay. When we got our Check-In e:mail they had has booked for only 1 night so we had to find another guesthouse for our 2nd night. Hopefully Guesthouse Aurora will reach out and consider refunding our charge for the unused rooms.

This is the third time we have stayed at Guesthouse Aurora. The location is great with free parking nearby. It is clean and meets all our needs. The breakfast was wonderful. Warm bread, meat, cheese, eggs, yogurt, cereal, veggies, coffee, tea, milk, juice. Everything to give you a good start to the day. The common eating area has always been entertaining and a great opportunity to chat with other visitors from other countries and learn about highlights of their adventures.

The location, price, comfort

Great value for money, comfortable beds, simple breakfast. A very nice and quiet, yet extremely central place to stay before starting your road trip!

Very small room, on the top level, due to the pitched roof. The constant smell of rotten eggs coming either from the bathroom or the small sink in the room (especially at night - unbereable). The emergercy light in the room was constantly on, impossible to sleep unless you cover it.

Fantastic location and nice staff.

The studio room that we had was massive. Very near the centre.

Location was good

Stayed in April 2024

Room is small for 4 people, imagine that with 4 big luggage, but we find a way to solve it. It is still manageable in overall.

The staff is really nice. We were rushing in the morning, and we would like to use the kitchen to pack on our lunch, but he said it is not convenient as it is the breakfast time for others guests as well. And he offer us go to another unit, and allow us to prepare our lunch over there.

I do not have any complaints!

Very clean room, good quality typical Nordic breakfast, I liked the atmosphere of the whole place. Comfortable bed, and the room was big enough for a single room at a budget accommodation. Check in took just a few seconds, only to tell my name and then get the keys. I stayed for a whole week, using Reykjavik as a base for exploring western and southern Iceland. The price was very affordable considering how expensive accommodation is in general in Reykjavik.

Very tiny room, breakfast rush hour w/o sufficient spots - get there after 8:30 and it‘s much more relaxing

Close to the city center

Very noisy bedroom, with constant sound of front door buzzer and people coming and going in hallway and up and down stairs to kitchen. Found the only bathroom on the floor flooded several times and generally dated.

Great location

Stayed in March 2024

The room was much smaller than pictured, just a bed and opening for the door. The single shared bathroom was between all 5/6 rooms on the floor which as not advertised, and the toilet and shower are in the same room so if someone is in the shower you cannot use the toilet.

The location was amazing, really central and easy to get to all the sights and coach stations for activities. The staff were polite and the breakfast was simple but plentiful.

Very helpful and provided useful information

Loud neighbors in the common area until very late. Not the fault of the property owners.

We have stayed at these properties twice before and keep coming back because of the great location right by the cathedral and the nice breakfast. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Furnitures of the room are very basic, the triple room is not that big for a family of 4, we were nearby the shared bathroom which can be noisy due to other guests.

Great location

Nothing I have stayed here before the place, area and breakfast is lovely

That the lady waited for us to arrive as I was confused which door to use for receiving our room key in the evening

The fact that we were in our bedroom and one morning we heard another guest fussing about loud noises in the night and heard him say “fu**g bastards I bet it was them…” we spoke about it between the two of us if he was referring to us but didn’t give it a second thought. Then the day after the hotel manager spoke to me and said he wasn’t going to let us buy another night because we got complained about for loud noise in the night. I asked what kind of noise but he said that he hadn’t asked about it and obviously wanted to get out of the conversation. I said we didn’t recognise being loud since we are calm people but we did have an issue with the person in the room next to us. With that said we didn’t get to book another night and was asked off the property the next morning. I know for a fact that this is based on prejudice towards us but my husband has tattoos in his face and all over and I have tattoos all over my body. It’s terrible to feel judged based on “I BET it was them” comment and without giving us any benefit of doubt getting basically kicked off the property. We really enjoyed our stay at the beginning but felt shamed and prayed upon in the end and no matter how I tried to talk about it, it gave me no comfort seeing he wasn’t computing my feedback on the matter. Heavily disappointed and thought 2024 people were more open minded than this…

In the beginning we loved the staff and how comfortable the beds are.

Great location, looking at the church. Clean and very comfortable beds in room, we had all necessary things. Breakfast was excellent, loved everything here and can’t wait to be back!
