Great location, very cute!
Small space, but we were here for less than 18 hours! Perfect space for a short stay!! Small kitchen available to use too.

Cozy room in convenient location
Great location, close to bus terminal and downtown (there is a bit of a slope in the surrounding neighborhood if that is a concern for anyone), and also in a quiet neighborhood. There is a little bit of wear and tear from previous travelers, which is completely understandable. Overall, very comfortable and would definitely come back. Thank you!

Nice little place
It was very nice to have our own room and bathroom away from the main house. It made it so we could come and go as we pleased which was very important for us to see the Northern lights. There is daily housekeeping so we never had to worry about things getting very dirty. Would definitely go back here if I come back to Iceland.

Noise, was right by the gate with people continuously leaving between 4:30am and 6am. Website makes it sound like you are staying in nice big old house, but are actually staying in a converted garage. On the plus side we got to check in early. Safe did not work as someone took the batteries

Would stay here again! Super clean, quiet, peaceful. Slept like a baby. Right near the main downtown area and near a beautiful park if you like to go for walks or exercise.

Comfortable and clean
The apartment was perfect for our family. It was very comfortable, had everything we needed and was very clean. 10 minute walk to downtown. We had a small refrigerator, sink, microwave and coffee maker in our room, which made breakfast really easy. I enjoyed the blackout curtains.

Fantastic location, B&B style guesthouse
Absolutely perfect location for travelers who will rely on Flybus from Reykjavik to main bus terminal. Easy 10 min walk from there, similar distance to heart of Reykjavik. Quiet at night. Some rooms are small and sparse in the converted garage, others are in main guesthouse building with more traditional furnishings. Easy arrived and departure and kind staff. Location is a 11/10 though for travelers on a modest budget using Flybus transfer.

Lovely apartment & great location
Very good Guesthouse with first class service from the Manager, Thorey. Spotlessly clean, recently refurbished and very comfortable apartment. A few minor points resolved very speedily. Brilliant location for Reykjavik centre, famous Hallgrimskirkja Church and the BSI Bus station to Keflavik Airport

We had a wonderful time in Reykjavik and our host at this property was so communicative! Great location very close to the main town and church but out enough that it was easy to find parking. Lots of food options less than 10 minutes away!
