The shower tiles were a little slippery and they were higher in the shower which meant water gets all over the floor. I would have also appreciated instructions for the shower heads. Even though it wasn’t that difficult once figured out, it would have helped my jet lagged, southern hemisphere brain where showering is a bit different.

Location and accommodating to our needs with storing our luggage

Stayed in September 2025

It is in the attic, which can give a slight feeling of confinement, and there is no elevator — carrying heavy luggage up the stairs was not easy.

The apartment is very spacious, clean, and tidy, and is very well located, right in the center of Reykjavík. It offers all the facilities for cooking and, considering the prices in Iceland, it is a good option. It was also possible to find parking nearby (Zone P2), which was very convenient.

Stayed in August 2025

Two downsides: the area is full of nightlife, so it can be noisy until 5am – earplugs recommended as the place isn’t soundproof. Also, parking nearby is tricky: close spots are all P1 (expensive, max 3h), but a 5-min walk gets you to P2 with more affordable rates.

Nice little apartment with a fully equipped kitchen (two induction hobs, kettle, Nespresso machine). Beds are fairly comfortable, there’s a small table, good space overall. Bathroom a bit dated with limited shelves but functional. Location is super central.

Really steep stairs; no stove hood, but yet with a smoke detector (scary to cook); low water pressure

Good location

Difficult to find the hostel (google show another building and sign is almost not visible). We got the entrance code but the key pad was not working well. Windows isolation was not good and you could hear everything from the outside.

Located in the city center. Host was helpful. Nice and clean room.

We were warned ahead of time that there is no elevator and stairs are definitely steep.

Very spacious room, especially for Iceland and the price. Well stocked kitchenette area. Great location. We were there on a Sunday evening and did not have any noise issues. A weekend night could be different. We did not need a car and could walk to all the sites.

At first sight, it was a bit difficult to find, because the address on the booking site was without the street number, so that we had to search it on our own. Check your mails from the Guest Heart House because there the street number is mentioned. To find a good parking spot was unfortunately a bit challenging. As we’ve found a parking lot around it by hazard, the fee for parking was higher than expected. You have to pay between 9AM and 9PM and you can park maximum for 3 hours, which costs around 12 Euros.

The apartment was really clean and really well located, so directly in the city Center of Reykjavik with lots of good restaurants, bars and bakeries around it. The check-in went smooth and the Guesthouse has nice amenities.

narrow, steep stairway

Room was not facing street and had good sealed windows, which was important because loud partying in the street continued until 5:30am.

Stairs to our room were dangerously steep. I needed help to get my bags up all the stairs and a bit scary going down. No plugs in any sinks Large skylight let in too much light - made it hard to sleep

Great location on the heart of old town - close to one of the ports and close restaurants and bars. Grocery store was also close. Good kitchen and cooking facilities

The steep stairs. Good job I only brought my carry on bag or I wouldn’t have managed it.

Location is great. The property is well maintained and super clean.

The stairs were steep but only a problem for us old folks

Very good and totally adequate for a couple and no complaints with noise, hearing shower and kitchen.

Great location, very close to the center and the bus stop near the city hall, convenient for various tours, and a walking distance to Iceland University; nice design, coffee machine with capsules; friendly and helpful owner. On weekends at night it got noisy outside (as described on the website), but not as bad, as I thought; very comfortable beds.

The shower was a bit difficult. The soap rack fell several times and the rain/overhead shower dripped cold water while the hand shower sprayed wildly. Hard to prevent water from going everywhere due to the short curtain which made the floor very slippery after shower. Could be our fault though. The pans provided did not seem to work with the stove top- again, that could be user error. It’s our first time using that style of kitchen.

Location was great during the day but not ideal at night as it was the weekend and people were out partying all night due to the unusually nice weather during our stay. One of the women that was cleaning our room before our stay brought our bags up for us which was amazing. I really appreciate her help.

I would just suggest a few points to improve the stay. - adding tea towels as there is no dry rack in the kitchen - another set of towels for stays of more than 6 days - better instructions regarding the bins collection - the bathroom gets completely flooded while showering (maybe a glass door at the shower instead of a curtain) - A bathroom cabinet or shelves would make life easier with toiletries

The location is fantastic and close to a lot of restaurants and pubs. Shower was great (we just used a brush to clean a bit the “sprinkles” as there was water going sideways, but overall really good). Small kitchen was great for preparing some food

A little noisy Shower smelled a bit like sulfur, to be expected

Great guesthouse in the centre of Reykjavik. It’s a little noisy but you’re right in the centre, so it’s bound to happen! The room was very clean and we had everything we needed for three days in the city. Can’t get over the location either. For me it’s a 9/10.

Stayed in June 2025

Room(floor) was not cleaned well, maybe because of my very late booking.

Bathroom is tiny and has no window or shelf space, at least a cabinet under the sink would've been helpful to put your stuff. The kitchen is missing tea mugs, the coffee cups are too little for tea. It's very noisy outside the building, some sort of machine is running all night long, there are a lot of people and drunks around even on weekdays, delivery trucks start beeping and loading right in front the building from 6 am. The door lock sometimes only worked after several tries.

Kitchen had everything you need. They even provided capsules for the coffee machine. The location is within walking distance from most sightseeing spots.

If you have big bag, the narrow stairs maybe a problem

The location is quite good and you can park your car on the P2 area near the embassy street, and walk to hotel by 5 mins Room is large enough and you could hear noise from bars outside but it's acceptable Well equipped kitchen and you can cook with the prepared salt, pepper and oil. I dont use it but I am happy to see that Clean and confortable bed and restroom. With radiator, ti's warm
