"Perfect start to our Icelandic vacation"

10.0

Received directions from owner in advance, very easy to understand. Nick was very nice and was happy to help us with cabs. Right beside the church, location was perfect. We had a room with a kitchenette but we could also use main kitchen and we used the very large dining room table.

The water smelled of sulphur but we expected that, was no problem.

"Posizione imbattibile, ma struttura da rimodernare"

7.0

La posizione è imbattibile, proprio accanto alla cattedrale di Reykjavík, e lo staff è davvero gentile. Tuttavia, la camera era vecchia e mal tenuta. Nel complesso, per passarci solo una notte come punto d'appoggio in centro, ci stava.

"Lovely close location to central Reykjavik"

8.0

Amazing location. Well stocked amenities especially the kitchen if you wanted to cook there. Quite cozy and comfortable. Owners indicated availability if issues or questions but we did not see them

Small shower. One room had washroom on separate floor from bedroom so need to book room with bathroom if available.

"Great location for budget conscious individuals"

7.0

Location and clean comfortable beds and access to beautiful dining room and a reasonably stocked kitchen.

The basement smelled like mold near the washroom/laundry area and the water smelled like sulfer.

The guesthouse had very homey feel and we felt very welcome. The location was superb -- right next to iconic church with high bell tower. Common dining room provided chance to meet and mingle with other travelers.
