The location was perfect - on a quiet street but just minutes away from everything. It was very close to the BSI station, which made transportation easy. it was conveniently located near a beautiful park where we were able to watch the Northern Lights. The hotel facilities were great, with a spacious and clean room. The staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfast area was quaint and cosy, providing a great start to the day. this guesthouse offered everything I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Nothing at all.
The owners went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable and enjoyable. They even warned us about road closures and helped us with our bike rentals. The rooms were clean and comfy, with lovely linens and comfortable beds. The hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of the city center, making it easy for us to explore this beautiful city. We also loved the historic exterior and the cute garden surrounding the building.
Not obvious to find.
I had a fantastic stay at a guesthouse near all the major downtown Reykjavik attractions. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the main area, which made it simple and convenient to explore. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and the facilities exceeded my expectations. the staff was extremely helpful and kind throughout my stay.
Can't fault anything about it.
