"Exceptional"

10.0

Service - The man that helped us was very vice. We accidentally went to the wrong accommodation (we were staying at a different place the day before our tour and at Egilsborg Guesthouse the day after our tour). He was kind enough to drive us to our correct accommodation and was not angry at all about our mistake. Location - Great. Walkable distance to the city. Facilities - I have stayed at various places around the world that have had shared bathrooms, including Barcelona, London, Berlin and Reykjavik. This was by far the cleanest, well-lit, well-kept and well-stocked shared bathroom of all the places I have been to, probably even better than some 4-4.5 star hotels. Overall, fantastic for a short term stay before or after a tour around Iceland :)

Hotel doesn’t provide correct information about check in. Staff Proceeded to write a very mean message to us after we simply tried to call to ensure our lastmin booking was still valid (provided incorrect phone numbers on expedia and Checkin details). If last min booking allowed on Expedia then the Checkin process must reflect this.

It's convenient to the city centre. However, it is not friendly for late check-in.

Egils Guest house ligger meget centralt i Reykavik, 5. min gang fra Hallgrimskirken. Det er mere et hostel. hvor man sørger for sig selv. Der er toilet og bad på gangen, et køleskab tilrådighed til madvare og service, bestik, microovn, toaster, el-kedel til fri afbenyttelse i fælles lokalet.

"AUCUN ACCUEIL"

4.0

La veille de notre départ j'ai envoyé un courriel pour leur dire que notre avion atterrissait vers 11:30 du soir, à cela il est normal d'ajouter du temps pour prendre les bagages, passer à l'immigration, prendre un taxi et se rendre à l'établissement, environ 45 minutes, de plus notre vol a accusé un retard. Nous sommes donc arrivé à 02:30 du matin, et nous nous sommes cognés à une porte barrée, avec tous nos bagages, sous la pluie, exténuées, ne sachant que faire et appuyant constamment sur le bouton de la petite cloche. Personne ne c'est jamais présenté. Après plusieurs minutes, nous avons été chanceuses car un couple de guests revenaient d'une sortie et nous a ouvert la porte. Nous leur avons expliqué notre situation, et ils ont vu une clé à notre nom près du café. Le lendemain matin, lorsque nous sommes descendus un homme assis dans une chaise regardait un film sur son ordi, aucune salutation, une femme (genre indienne) nous a salué et a tout de suite demandé que l'on paie car elle s'en allait, selon ce qu'elle dit ils viennent le matin seulement ( pour encaisser le cash et chargé des tas d'extras). Alors je me suis mise à lui explique que nous avions attendu dehors, sans réponse, sans numéro de chambre, etcc elle a répondu que quelqu'un nous avait attendu 1 heure !! et était parti. Elle nous a chargé un extra pour cela, même si absolument personne nous a ouvert la porte, elle ne voulait rien entendre, nous devions payer pour être rester dehors!!

This place is perfect for a budget traveler or backpacker. The owners, a married couple, were friendly and helpful. I found the room comfortable & warm, about a 10 minute walk from shops & attractions. I would certainly stay here again.

"Guets house prės de l'académie des arts"

6.0

Le séjour s'est bien passé. Le guest house est convenable sans confort particulier et je ne me plaindrai pas sur les détails. Le gėrant m'a réservé mon pickup pour le bus de l'aéroport. La ligne de bus pour l'aéroport à des minibus qui vous prennent à l'hôtel directement. J'apprrécie beaucoup. J'aime ce pays.
