I was very frustrated with the leaking floor in the bathroom that had water squirting up from the seams between the floor tiles. Also, a huge irritant was the motion sensor light in the bathroom. It went on and off at will - not turning on when entering the room frequently and then turning off while in the room. This was a real issue when using the toilet or taking a shower. It turned on when no one was in the room.

The guesthouse is clean, rooms are spacious and comfortable. The room doesn’t have any shampoo/Conditioner so bring your own! Also missed having a mini fridge in the room. Breakfast options were good. A bit on the pricey side for minimalist offerings.

Great communication from management by email. Able to access luggage storage for early arrivals. Room is small and there are not toiletries supplied. There is a shared kitchen so there is access to a fridge, etc. Easy walk to Reykjavík city center and to the harbor. Grocery store next door. Safe and walkable area.

Disliked: Amenities
Pros: easy access from #1, clean rooms, lots of electrical outlets in the room, comfortable bed, includes breakfast. Cons: noisy with thin walls, can hear people dragging furniture, no light switch to bathroom and sensor kept triggering it in and off thru the night, broken door jamb where you had to lock it with difficulty to at least ensure it’s closed, large bay window in bedroom offers zero privacy, curtains do not span the entire window, leaving gaps, if you’re unlucky enough to face the parking lot, you’ll have bright lights on all night, internet is slow and spotty, kicks you out frequently. We didnt find the restaurant food to be good at all - had lamb soup (pieces too big and chewy or gristle-y), lagostine soup (fine) and chicken Caesar salad (disgusting- weirdly spiced chicken, brown lettuce, bottled sauce, boxed croutons). Breakfast was continental with a few pastries, meats, cheeses, breads (just ok). Very pricey, even for this country, for what you get. Tip: get a room in the 2nd building and face the road! Don’t spend more than 1 night.

The room was simple and clean with everything we needed. The towels are small but absorbent and the water pressure was great. Parking was a plentiful and mostly affected by the rain/mud. The room was very warm with no thermostat, we could have opened the room but didn’t want to deal with the rain. We paid extra for the breakfast which was tasty. Easy check-in and check-out process! It looked a little ominous at night with the rain but felt safe just the same.

Comfortable and clean - basic but we got a good nights sleep. Had everything you need and breakfast was good too. The newer building would have been better, but the older one was all that was available. Not bad though, just average.
