• Kristina Stanisavljevic (10/5): - Mnogo blizo centra Odnosno sami centar Rejkjavika Sve je cisto i udobno Lokacija10+ Soba za kratki boravak 10+ Ne ocekujte za male novce hotel sa 5* Odnos cene i kvaliteta na Islandu i sami centar 10+ Pod 1. Kupujte sve u Bonus prodavnicama i Kronos malo veci izbor. 2. Alkohol samo na free shop na Airoportu.. 3. Voda je za pice svuda fantasticna 4. Kada ugovarate renta car obavezno trazite sav info jer izmisljaju dodatnd troskove od 80e Pod razno Nepredvidjeni troskovi ili takse koje su nepostojece. Dobro obrarite paznju... Nadam se da ce gazdrarica prihvatiti sugestije za kuhinju i sve popraviti..
• SOPHIE (10/5): Très bon logement. Je recommande - Logement charmant, accessibilité excellente d'autent que je suis arrivée en pleine nuit. La cuisine et la salle de bain sont très bien équipées. Très propre. Pouvoir laisser ses bagages le dernier jour est vraiment très pratique.
• Zandra (8/5): skulle gärna bo där igen. - Enkelt, rent och bra valuta för pengarna Något lyhört men ändå ok, sov med öronproppar
• JT (8/5): Simple but effective and great location - Everything I needed was available. Drinks included which was nice. It would be good to have an iron for the clothes. The window of the room needs to be finished!
• Katharina (8/5): - Location is great, and everything is very clean, cosy and nice! We loved it 😍 Everything was fine, it would be great to have some more room to put things, but since we only stayed one night it's fine!
• De Guglielmi (8/5): -
• Michelle (9/5): - Very good location Bathroom and room very clean Room spacious and bed comfortable a little bit difficult to find on the first day
• Jan Michael (8/5): -
• Wilma (10/5): -
• Catalina (10/5): -
• Mecacci (9/5): - L'ambiente è accogliente e la posizione centralissima. Da non scegliere se andate a letto presto perché fino alle 3 si sentono le voci e la musica proveniente dai locali.
• Laura (9/5): - Excellent location ….
• Junjia (8/5): -
• Eduina (10/5): Nice pleasant stay. Helpful owner - Small cozy place, very near all shops and bars. Owner very helpful and responsive -
• ruth (10/5): -
• beatrice (8/5): -
• Chu white (7/5): - 房間很大，非常超值，乾淨程度也十分不錯 在市中心地理位置很好 木造地板及建築物導致隔音很差，晚上一直聽到走動的聲音

• Lorenzo (10/5): -
• Selime (9/5): -
• Le Moullac (8/5): -
• Gabrielle (9/5): The best place to land for a short term visit in the city. - It is well kept and the owner is very responsive to communication.
• Liudmyla (9/5): - Das Apartment ist auf der Haupteinkaufsstrasse, was ziemlich perfekt ist, besonders wenn man abends ausgeht. Das Bett und das Kissen fand ich sehr bequem.
• Nathalie (8/5): Cute comfy stay - The location of this stay is unbeatable - very close to the main street and attractions in Reykjavic. The room had everything I needed as well and was easy to find after asking around for exact location. Host helped check-in go smoothly as well. The room I was in was facing a parking lot so there was a bit of noise in the mornings sometime. Besides that, really enjoyed my stay and would love to go back sometime in the future.
• Birgit (10/5): -
• Alexa (9/5): - Nagyon tiszta szoba, tökéletes helyszínen :)
• Polehradska (8/5): - Dobrá lokalita v centru, vybavení kuchyně, pohodlné postele. Společná koupelna se zachodem pro 5 pokoju.
• Nefeli (7/5): -
• Donato (10/5): -
• Rudolf (8/5): Convenient in the very city center - Booked in March conveniently with mobile phone in a snow storm for a fair price, because my flight was delayed. Self-check was good after I found the entrance. The windows in the storm are not totally tight.
• Irene (10/5): - Personal muy amable
• Jaume (8/5): - Buena ubicación, todo bien explicado y lo necesario para estar unos días.
• Reto (9/5): -
• Maria (6/5): - It was cozy and warm and in an amazing location very central . There was only one toilet for many rooms and that was quite inconvenient.
• Susanne (8/5): Sehr schöner und besonderer Aufenthalt. - Sehr zentrale Lage, sehr sauber, sehr freundliche Besitzerin Eine Kochplatte wäre schön gewesen.
• Patricia (8/5): Nice option for budget travelers - It was nice. Great location in downtown Reykjavik near nice restaurants and shopping. Great value for budget travelers. There was a full kitchen, and the staff was responsive to all questions. It was exactly as I expected.
• Juliet (7/5): - Great location The other guests made so much noise as they got locked out. A more simple (idiot proof) lock is needed.
• Elisabetta (9/5): Molto carina in centro - In centro, pulita, molto carina Manca qualcosa per cucinare tipo un forno
• Rocco (10/5): - Ottima posizione , piacevole stanza , comoda, inoltre abbiamo avuto possibilità di lasciare i bagagli per un giorno per fare un tour . Grande disponibilità di Olga la proprietaria .
• Eva (9/5): -
• Elisabetta (9/5): Ci tornerei - Molto carina e intima in una via del centro della città Nulla
• Davide (8/5): Buono - La camera in mansarda è ampia, bella e particolare. C'è anche un divano come ottimo punto di appoggio. Lavandino interno e ben riscaldata. Posizione abbastanza vicina al centro. Balcone anche al secondo piano Mancava un fornello in cucina, c'è un solo bagno per tutte le camere e manca un asciugacapelli. Non è possibile parcheggiare davanti la struttura perché sono posti riservati ma bisogna cercare nelle strade adiacenti.
• Gertinus (10/5): - Goede locatie dicht bij het centrum! Alles netjes, schoon en heerlijke bedden!
• Madison (10/5): Lovely guesthouse - The room was very clean and comfortable. The location is amazing and right downtown! Definitely exceeded my expectations and would recommend.
• gunnlaug (9/5): -
• gunnlaug (9/5): Midt i sentrum og jeg hadde fantastisk opphold i huset i 3 netter. Veldig fornøyd 😃 - Fantastisk plassering og hjemmekoselig. Ingenting
• Tommi Sveins (9/5): - Hef gist oft áður og ávalt líkað vel aðbúnaður og staðsetning, ef spurningar hafa vaknað og þurft að hringja þá hef ég alltaf fengið gott og vinalegt viðmót.
• Kuffour (8/5): -
• Georgina (10/5): Excellent location - all you need for a few nights! - Great locations, cosy rooms Nothing
• Gabriela (9/5): Amazing location, good price and clean. - The location was amazing and it was super clean There were 4 bedrooms and only one bathroom luckily we left the house every morning before 7am but I can imagine during the morning it being frustrating
• Rubæk (9/5): -
• Emily (9/5): I had a wonderful night at the Grettir Guest House. I appreciated the communications from the owner - The location was perfect. Olga's directions and responsiveness were great. The other guests in the house were noisy late at night.
• George (8/5): -
• sabrina (8/5): - Centralità, pulizia, ambiente accogliente, uso cucina Vista su hotel e pattumiere
• Daisuke (9/5): -
• Juliet (6/5): - Location Other guests, noise, toilet in the bathroom- if it was separate that would be easier
• Marleen (8/5): Geweldige locatie, goede prijs/kwaliteitverhouding - De locatie is geweldig, je zit midden in het centrum. Fijne service, je mag je koffer voor en na je verblijf er laten staan tot je naar de airport moet. Het guesthouse is sfeervol en gezellig, alles is schoon en netjes. Leuke inrichting! De bedden liggen lekker en ik was blij met het wastafeltje op de kamer waar je kunt tandenpoetsen. De badkamer deel je met veel andere gasten. De WC is in de badkamer, als je pech hebt moet je lang wachten. In de keuken zijn 4 zitplekken, hou er rekening mee dat de stoelen soms bezet kunnen zijn. De ruimtes zijn enorm gehorig, als je buurman wakker is dan ben jij ook wakker ;)
