Location is excellent right in the middle of Reykjavik. Plenty to do and see in the area. Everything was as the host said and it was a wonderful stay for my husband and me. Other people there were very considerate and quiet. We shared the bathroom and the kitchen. There is no breakfast offered. There is no luggage storage offered, but there are very reliable walkers a four minute walk away. I will definitely stay there again if I have the opportunity. There is no host, but the instructions for getting into the property and into the room are excellent.

The guest house was in an excellent location. I was on the second floor. There was just one bathroom for guests in 4 rooms! The coffee machine in the kitchen was not working. So, it was too pricey for the available amenities.

I loved that it was so close to the bus stop and the major street. This is especially appreciated after a long day tour and you just want to rest right away. It is but 3 to 4 minute walk from Bus stop #3. There's also a lot of restaurants in the area and you can walk everywhere.
