I was told there would be a private bathroom, but it was 1 between 4 rooms. I had to wait over half an hour for someone to finish a shower, to go to the loo. No breakfast before 7am which is too late when catching a bus for a trek or to the airport. More like a cheap hostel not a guesthouse

The listing on Expedia clearly says there is free parking at the property, but really there isn’t. There is -maybe- some free parking at some road a few blocks away, or maybe some free parking at a church nearby - good luck finding those. The room was cramped, tap water had sewage smell. Breakfast was nice though.

The kitchen facilities were great. The staff was welcoming and helpful and it was nice to stay in the studio room but lots of stairs going up. Property was well maintained and a nice breakfast to start the day.

Clean, affordable place to stay

Great, clean room to crash in while in Reykjavík, especially for the price. Nothing fancy. Slightly small for four adults. Great free breakfast.

Basic but adequate. Good location.

We stayed here twice. It wasn't flash but was all we needed. Unfortunately both times we had to leave before breakfast was served so unable to comment on that. It was a shared bathroom but we didn't have any issues with that - it was kept clean and was available when needed. We had a wee visitor through the window which was fun.
