Thorey and her staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We arrived in Iceland about 4 hours before check-in, and she let us leave our luggage at the guesthouse while we went into town. Thorey arranged a car service both to and from the airport, which was a huge help to my family. Our apartment had one and a half bathrooms and they were exceptionally clean. They even provided electrical outlet converters since we forgot to pack ours.

Really great stay. Place was super clean, the beds amazing and kitchen and bathrooms had all the amenities needed and were spotless. The host was very accommodating and the location can’t be beat.

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!

    Very good price for a single room in Reykjavik, was even cheaper than dorm-beds in some hostels! Good location, only a few minutes walk to city center. Supermarket next door, still the street itself is rather quiet. Very clean and also has basic equipment for cooking.

    Plenty of toilets (4) and showers (3), kind hosts who were eager to help with small favours, tasty smörgåsbord breakfast, quiet rooms, classic Reykjavík home guesthouse! Easy access to city center by short walk.

    Access to the guesthouse is by email instructions which were clear and helpful. This is one of the cheapest hotels available at the moment in Reykjavik but the room was clean and bright. Wifi was good, shared bathroom also clean - if rather small - and the staff helpful. Bed was basic but comfortable and I slept well. The hotel is in a good location near to the city centre but in a quiet area.
