Pictures and description of property gave the impression that kitchen and bathroom facilities were part of the room. However they were shared and the room was so small, it had space for just about people to enter in and out. No space for luggage, very difficult and we were ,4 of us

Some of the other guests were very loud and noisy and walls are thin. The keypad to get in was very loud and we heard everyone entering and exiting. It’s on a busy street but it is walkable to down town which was nice. The room was very stuffy with no way to get any airflow but the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was always wet so I don’t know if there was a leak or it was just from showers. It was a cheaper option for the area but I’m glad we were barely there and only stayed a couple nights. All in all…meh.

Wonderful property - we stayed here twice during our trip and both times we had a great stay. The staff were very accommodating with our questions and requests as well. Note that if you’re bringing large luggage parking can be a bit of a challenge but regardless it is definitely still worthwhile staying here!

Just needed a place to lay my head for a night after hiking the Laugavegur trail. Office staff kept my large bag fro me for a few hours while I walked around Reykjavik, which I appreciated.

Communal Bathrooms

Not what we were expecting.. Its essentially a non-descript, 3-story house in a standard neighborhood, paralleled by a busy main road, where parking if first-come-first-serve. The yard around the house was overgrown and the grounds were in need of maintenance. The only indication this was a guesthouse was the sign on the front door, which was not facing either street; we had to park , get out, walk around, and find it. Inside, there is a lockbox with a key for each room on each floor. Our family of 5 was split between rooms on the 3rd and 1st floors. The rooms consisted solely of a bed, some drawers, and poorly-fitted curtains with open windows.. Older furniture with signs of heavy use. There was also just a single common bathroom for all rooms on each floor and they weren't very clean looking or smelling. We did not find or see the common kitchen area in the photo, or any other room that looked as clean as that photo, though we briefly searched each floor.

The place was clean but the room was tight for two people with two suitcases. My biggest issue was smelly water in bathrooms and laundry area. I also thing the locker room type showers needed small benches inside - a place to set your things, other than a hook.

Water smelt like rotten eggs. You could hear everything all night, every footstep from everyone. The curtains were awful, since it didn’t get dark. And the shared bathrooms were miserable, bad towels, and no soap
