Stayed here for 2 nights for 4 person in a room. What I like about this place is that they have kitchen equipment that u can cook, easy access to restaurants and shopping in 5-10 mins walk There is flybus and gray line bus that goes to the airport in 3am in the morning that is just across the road; very convenient indeed. Customer service is excellent with friendly staff and very helpful.

Pleasant stay, a few minor things = major improvem
This was a decent and central location to stay for our short 2 day stop over in Iceland. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Our room was clean and the beds quite comfortable. We weren't seeking luxury by any means when we booked this, but I feel a few minor touches could have made our stay just a little easier. For example, the towels were absurdly small. My fiance is 6' 2" and 250lbs and had to dry off with basically a hand towel. There was no shelf or anything to place your items on in the shower room. No shower caddy to place your shampoo/body wash in so you have to put them on the floor of the shower which is a bit gross. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and I would recommend this spot. But a few cheap improvements would make it so much better.

The man on reception was very nice to deal with, both happy and helpfull. It isnt the quietest due to its location on a busy road. Overall for accommodation on a budget its great, id stay there again. Considering its a shared bathroom and seperate shower room and access to a shared kitchen iys supprisingly clean and tidy throughout.

The location of this stay is fantastic and that’s the only positive thing I have to say. My bed had dried blood on the sheets stained, dried blood on one of the towels. The fan was broken does not work in 419. The rooms were extremely warm at night and you will be hot.

Parking situation was miserable, and was one of our biggest daily expenses. Staff was wonderful and kind. As far as the room, we got what we paid for. Cots and a shared bathroom. Shower smells like sulfur, and is very small. Breakfast and parking are not included and expensive, but location is fantastic. Overall 3 stars, people were nice and it was generally what we signed up for. I’d recommend bringing shower shoes and an extra towel for the floor!

I rated a 1 star because I had to cancel for a medical reason and no refund was given. I never went here so I can't comment on any things but customer service. When I booked, I did not see the note which said they do not give any refunds. I broke my arm about a month before going to Iceland and asked if I could cancel my reservation and receive a refund. Even tho I told them that the main reason I was going to Iceland to ride the amazing Icelandic horses and go on a 4 day riding tour, and my arm would not be healed in time for me to go on this trip. A medical note would note persuade them, and as a result I am out over $800.00 CDN. I caution you to look at the fine print to see their no refund policy. I won't be able to return to Iceland until next year, and I know now not to book with them. It might be a very nice place but I can't comment on that.

I guess I really didn't know what a 'Guesthouse' was in the Icelandic sense. This is a hostel where you can get your own room. I had a single room. It had no TV, no temperature control, no adequate bedding, with the wind howling it is not quiet, etc. It was clean and since I was only there 2 nights, it was adequate, nothing more. No one is at the desk the vast majority of the time. The location is good. Perhaps by Icelandic Guesthouse standards this is fine but by most others I would say it is not.
