“Reykjavik Central Guesthouse strikes me as a practical, no-frills option in a fairly central location. The kitchen, though basic, does equip guests with the essentials for simple meal prep. While I note the shared bathroom situation and housekeeping gaps, its appeal seems rooted in straightforward convenience for budget-conscious travelers exploring Reykjavik.”

I secured a Double Room and the location impressed me. The BSI bus terminal sits just a kilometer away. Bus stop 12 is conveniently within 1000 meters! Main streets are also in walking distance.
I noticed the shared bathroom did not have enough cleaning done!
