Location was superb - just a 5mins walk to the main shopping street in Reykjavik. Room was spacious, had a huge TV with all the main streaming apps installed. Shared bathroom was really clean too. Complimentary smoothie was a plus!

The property was centrally located. Just 7-8 mins from BSI Bus terminal. The rooms were well kept and cleaned daily. The landlady lives upstairs and is quite friendly & supportive. I booked the room really late at night and arrived way past midnight but my room was ready. It was a home like environment. Probably the best guesthouse in Reykjavík

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Heart House Guesthouse during my trip to Reykjavik, and I couldn't be more delighted with this experience. This establishment truly helped make my trip unforgettable. The room I stayed in was spotless. Clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, it provided me with a true haven of peace after a busy day exploring the city. I particularly appreciated the comfortable bedding, which allowed me to enjoy restful nights. The location of Heart House Guesthouse is also ideal. Located in the heart of Reykjavik, I had easy access to major tourist sites, restaurants, and shops. In summary, I highly recommend Heart House Guesthouse to anyone visiting Reykjavik. It's a place where you truly feel at home thanks to the quality of the rooms, and the exceptional location. My stay was a memorable experience, and I look forward to returning there on my next trip to Iceland.

The location was great. We had a car, so being a 10-minute drive to town was ideal. Having access to a washing machine and dryer was very handy to keep clothes clean during a week long stay. It was very cold when we were there but the heating in the accommodation was very good and at no point was it cold. The host was so friendly and helpful. When we go back to Iceland, we will definitely be looking at this accommodation again.

    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!
