"With free parking around the corner and free breakfast in the morning, this place was ideal for a couple of budget travellers."

“Its location proves a genuine advantage, placing you steps from Hallgrímskirkja and within a short walk of the BSI bus station; the friendly staff adds a warm touch. Rooms are well-equipped, though some require stair climbing, and the breakfast is reliably satisfying. A solid choice for those prioritizing location and service.”

paper thin wallsuncleaned bathroom
The room i got was in a separate building (i wish i knew that beforehand). it felt more like an apartment. The guesthouse just owned one unit with rooms. the shared bathroom wasn't cleaned once so the trash really piled up (lovely!). the walls were also paper thin, so i could hear everything.

sulfur smelldamp bathroom
The most notable issue was the sulfur smell from the hot water, it pervaded the bathroom. A more frequent cleaning schedule is necessary for the shared bathroom. I found it consistently damp. the bed were too small and I did not have a restful sleep. This greatly detracted from my overall experience at this hotel.
