    comfortable stay
    wonderful owner
    central location
    unpleasant smell

    The Downtown Guesthouse offers a clean and comfortable stay with a wonderful owner who genuinely cares about guests' experiences. Its central location in downtown makes it easy to walk to attractions like Harpa and various restaurants. The beds were particularly comfortable, making it a cozy choice for a restful night amidst work commitments.

    The sulfur smell from the hot water can be unpleasant.

    The location is fantastic, within walking distance to attractions and restaurants. The kitchen is well-equipped, enhancing the stay. However, the room had some issues, like a poorly functioning shower and limited space for personal items, which detracted from the experience.

    noisy courtyard
    staff absence

    Extremely noisy courtyard resulting in sleepless nights!!! Lack of staff presence made communication difficult, forcing me to rely on other hotels for assistance!!! The luggage room not locking is a security risk that should be addressed!!!

    comfortable bed
    clean room
    convenient location
    road noise
    shared bathroom

    During my stay, I appreciated the comfortable bed and the cleanliness of the room, especially the shared bathroom facilities. The location is quite convenient, with several attractions like the National Museum and the Reykjavik Maritime Museum just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the area. However, the road noise did affect my sleep on occasion, being that my room faced the street.

    whale-watching trips
    convenient location
    spacious room
    limited family activities

    We had a fantastic time exploring Reykjavik, particularly the whale-watching trips that were nearby. The kids loved it! The location is super convenient, with great shops and restaurants just steps away. Plus, our room was spacious enough for us and our pets.

    My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities available onsite. It felt like some amenities needed an upgrade for more comfort.

    clean common areas
    convenient location
    limited staff presence
    street noise
    room amenities

    The location provides easy access to bars and restaurants right outside the door, making it convenient for exploring the area. Cleanliness stood out, with well-maintained common areas and kitchens available for guest use. However, limited staff presence made addressing concerns difficult, and noise levels from the street diminished the experience. Additionally, amenities could be improved to enhance overall comfort during the stay.

    Comfortable Stay with a Caring Host!

    After our flight cancellations, we were relieved to find this delightful guesthouse! The kind owner offered us tea and support during a snowy night. The clean, cozy rooms and central location made it an ideal choice. Future guests should enjoy the nearby restaurants for great local dining options!

    helpful staff

    Despite the older building, the service was quite surprising. The guy at the front desk was really helpful, it felt like he genuinely wanted to make our stay comfortable.

    It wasn't exactly cheap! but acceptable.
