The owner was very helpful when the airport luggage was lost. I was allowed my room early so I could start my process and then offered to add his number incase luggage would be delivered when I was away or asleep

The location is okay, there are several good restaurants nearby, but the overall environment is poor, maybe because the building is old. The heating was not very good and the room was very cold. There is no elevator, so you need to carry your suitcase upstairs. All in all I don't think it's worth it compared to the price of ninety pounds a night.

I have to say that the bathing pool smells of sewerage and the bed is not clean enough. Although it is the closest to the city center, the environment is really not worthy of the price. I don’t know if it is Ctrip or the hotel. The password is not provided. If you don’t have friends, you can’t be contacted by phone.

This property was in a really good location, we had a lovely room looking out at lovely Christmas decorations. We would definitely stay again, the room was a good size and comfortable bed. There is also a shared kitchen you can also store your luggage in the luggage room so you can enjoy looking around after you have checked out. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay 😊

One bathroom for 5 rooms - inadequate especially when the only toilet didn't work!!!!!!! Kitchen lights didn't work. Room next door reported their door refused to lock.... Room only held bed- no lamps,mirrors. Extremely noisy next to bar that blared music. Blind did not lower all the way to keep street lights out. It was so awful we moved to a hotel after one night there (we were scheduled for 2). No one to contact with toilet problem - I want a working toilet at all times AVOID AVOID AVOID

Stayed at this Guesthouse for 2 nights, location is convenient for transport, but Reykjavik is small so it is walkable to most places from the location also. Check in was easy. However I was in room 1. While it is neat, clean, and plenty of room, unfortunately it is extremely noisy, as it faces the main Street, with multiple restaurants, bars, and nightclub, which includes a lot of traffic and foot traffic all night. So if looking for a quiet nights sleep I would request to not have room 1. That was the only downside to the stay. But that may not be an issue for others.

So many rough aspects of this place. No info sent in advance-so I had no idea how to get in the bldg. Once inside (thanks to another person coming out who gave me the code), it smelled so perfumy like vanilla febreze, I could hardly breathe. I opened the window for hours, tried vinegar and nothing took away the thick perfume smell. I had to stay elsewhere for 2 days. When I came back, (thanks to the cleaner gal, Dalva, the best part of the place) I was moved to a different room- Which was a bit better than the initial one. The whole place had weird smells throughout. One of the worse parts was NO on site managers. A guy got locked out of his room in his shorts and wandered up and down the aisles looking for help. I finally finished what i was doing and texted Dalva to help him. I felt like I was mnmgt... then another gal ended up ended up in wrong room and another couldnt get his room open... Guess who ended up helping all these people??? Me! I was on vacation myself!! Fire alarm went off twice during my stay. False alarm.. but very alarming to think theres a fire when youre on the 3rd floor. The water/faucets stunk. Super loud on the street side. One bed was uncomfortable. The next one was average. Dalva was excellent..she helped me with a phone cord and tried to make the whole experience better. The reason they use so many perfumy cleaners is to combat the smells from the fish restaurant below. If info was there to know who to call if issues arise, it would help travelers

7 bedrooms with no toilet. Only one at the end of the corridor. And that only toilet with a broken Wc. We try to call the contact phone and simply didnt answer it. No more to say. Shower doors in the same toilet need adjustment urgently flodding imposible to avoid if you shower... And tile with shower dish with mould stain. :( :( :(

Provides all needed for a good sleep - comfortable & quiet. The location is good. The kitchen was useful and well equipped, but not cleaned as well as should be.
