    helpful staff
    unpleasant odor

    The staff was incredibly accommodating and even helped arrange a trip to view the Northern Lights, which was an unforgettable experience.

    The shared bathroom could use some serious attention, as it had a lingering damp smell that made it less pleasant.

    nice view
    equipped kitchen
    flaking walls

    The room had a nice view, which was a definite plus during our stay. The equipped kitchen made meal prep easy and convenient after a long day of exploring.

    Upon entry, we noticed paint and concrete flaking from the walls, and there was a distinct smell of egg or sewage coming from the shower area. The absence of basic toiletries and barely enough coffee for one day was disappointing. noise from neighboring guests disrupted our sleep, undermining the comfort we were hoping for.

    ideal location
    chaotic check-in

    Clean room with a spacious kitchen area made it easy to prepare meals. The location is ideal for exploring Reykjavik, just a short walk from popular attractions. the check-in process was chaotic. Despite receiving instructions via email, I found my key missing upon arrival, causing some frustration. The noise from the neighboring guests disrupted the peaceful atmosphere I hoped for during my stay.

    disorganized check-in
    noisy facilities

    The location is perfect for exploring Reykjavik.

    Upon arrival, the check-in process was chaotic and unorganized. Despite having a code for entry, our keys were missing, leading to a frustrating wait. noise from a dripping shower and flickering lights detracted from the overall ambiance.

    exceptional location
    spacious kitchen
    welcoming atmosphere

    My stay was delightful! The location is exceptional, just minutes from the main street. The kitchen was spacious, allowing us to prepare filtered coffee each morning, and the energizing warmth of the guesthouse made us feel right at home.

    No notable negatives.

    unclean bathroom

    Great location, but needs work!

    The place was okay for 4 of us, and we had a nice view from our windows. The sink in the room made things easier for us, but the bathrooms really weren’t the cleanest. The bar area was a cool spot to chill after exploring Reykjavik. Just watch out for those slow draining showers!

    poor service
    uncomfortable room

    this place was simply dreadful! I couldn’t believe there were only two beds in our 4-person room. The staff's English was abysmal, making it impossible to resolve issues. And to top it off, I expected at least a welcome gift for my troubles but, of course, that didn’t happen. absolutely disappointing.

    smooth check-in

    It was just a smart choice for a lightning trip in Reykjavik with extraordinarily good value for money. The check-in process was smooth, and we appreciated the prompt responses from the host despite our late arrival. Make sure to check if your room key is available before arriving to avoid any hassle.

    Perfect spot in Reykjavik! Clean rooms and a chill kitchen, which made meals easy. I had a little trouble with the shower leaking, but it didn't ruin my vibe. Definitely would come back!

    Great location, super central with easy access to shops and restaurants, clean rooms and a spacious kitchen. We spotted the Northern Lights right outside the window on our first night!

    we had a spacious triple room at central guesthouse, perfect for our family. the location was awesome, super close to the city center. the equipped kitchen made meal prep a breeze, and it was easy to bond with our friends during our stay.

    the shared bathroom could use some serious attention.
