10/10 Exceptional

Room 33 (I believe it was) is part of the fire escape route and is rather illuminated all night long. I asked to be moved and was put in room 32 the next night, which was fine. Nice place, location and good price.

Clean, affordable place to stay

Great, clean room to crash in while in Reykjavík, especially for the price. Nothing fancy. Slightly small for four adults. Great free breakfast.

Bra boende för pengarna. Lite lyhört men vi bodde också närmast ytterdörren. Städat och fräscht.

Palvelu ystävällistä. Huone siisti. Aamiainen heikohko.

Property was well located with free street parking nearby. Staff were friendly , room was fine. Towels could be replaced with newer ones but that's a small thing.

Dorthe, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic but adequate. Good location.

We stayed here twice. It wasn't flash but was all we needed. Unfortunately both times we had to leave before breakfast was served so unable to comment on that. It was a shared bathroom but we didn't have any issues with that - it was kept clean and was available when needed. We had a wee visitor through the window which was fun.

8/10 Very good

Hyvä ja edullinen majoitus, mutta kylpyhuoneessa viemäri haisi vahvasti. Ei haitannut muuten kuin siellä käydessä ja suihkussa.

A nice neighborhood, easy walking to shopping and dining.

10/10 Exceptional

Budget but great value and location

This is a budget guesthouse. That being said, the staff was very responsive booking us a return bus pickup to the airport and the breakfast was varied with fresh baked bread.
