With free parking around the corner and free breakfast in the morning, this place was ideal for a couple of budget travellers. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of EU adapters to borrow if you forgot yours, the building was a bit older but maintained with care. The tenant fridge is on the upstairs, and came in handy with the kitchen downstairs. Very nice fellow guests, lots of diversity and no problems with sharing bathrooms with fellow guests.

central location, steps from the Hallgrímskirkja, and very walkable area. The single room I had was good. There is a fridge and sink in the hallway that can be used. Bathroom is modern and clean, shared with other guests. Everything was good; the breakfast buffet is very good, with lots of choices. (The only thing that was not that great was other guests arriving very late at night and being noisy.)

Located right in the city center next to famous gorgeous Hallgrimskirkja. The check-in process was smooth. Took minutes for the stuff to show us to our room in the next door building which was 20 m walk from the reception. Stuff was very friendly and helpful. We booked the room with private bathroom, it shared common entrance with 3 other rooms that had share bathroom (no bother for us at all) and we shared the same kitchenet area with coffee maker, electric kettle, medium fridge, sink, plenty of dishes, cups, utensils etc. The room was spacious enough by European standards. Bathroom with the shower was a bit outdated but functioned well. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was served in the main building where reception was, the standard continental variety. The parking was next-door and free (a big plus in the center of the city), but we were lucky to find nice spot right away, which could be tricky if we were arriving later in the day (we arrived around 4 pm). Overall - good stay well worth the money paid.

Upon check-in, I was told we were being placed in the property's sister house across the street. We were given a set of keys along with our towels to bring across the street. There were 3 separate doors to get into the property and no explanation as to which keys were for which doors. While this wasn't a huge issue, I found the room itself to be semi-decent. The sheets seemed to be clean although there were a few stains - probably from previous guests. The room itself seemed to be clean otherwise. There was however, a horrible smell coming from the bathroom! The sink was filthy, there was barely any soap in the dispenser and the soap that did come out smelled absolutely horrible. One of the other guests left their menstrual blood on the toilet seat in the morning!!! That is not the guesthouses fault but they could do well by adding in air fresheners. If you do not mind the possible dirtiness from other guests and can do with the smell this was an okay accommodation for one night.

I arrived 15 minutes after the reception hours and was emailed by Aurora to say I’d find my key on the table in the entrance. There was no key as promised. Another guest was in the same predicament. I called and the employee said he was still downstairs (location of reception was not clearly marked.) I received my keys there, one for the building next door and one for my room. Room was clean and remodeled. There is no sink. Shower is in bathroom. Breakfast decent and reached by going downstairs. Basic stay within easy walking distance of the big church, but I would recommend other accommodations if you can get them. I liked Sunna Guesthouse better and it had a personal sink and is next door.

An adventure!
The room was very basic-I was not aware we would be sharing a bathroom; no soap, shampoo or conditioner was provided; the room was approximately 10’ x 10’ with a full size bed; there were many steps to move heavy suitcases; the bathroom did not adjoin the room, rather you had to walk in public space only to find the bathroom in use multiple times; there was an adjoining kitchenette that was to be shared by the occupants of another room; the staff was kind & helpful; the sheets and room were clean; breakfast had good coffee, juices& an assortment of European & American foods (no complaint about the food); we managed.

Breakfast was really good. I guess they are not big on customer service. You felt you are pretty much on your own, no staff except during breakfast. Don't think I will be returning.

The room was clean and updated but detached from the main building amongst apartments. There we a lot of loud noises coming from in and outside the building. We had to ask for towels and didn’t get any other amenities besides toilet paper

Nice guest house. They were remodeling and the common kitchen was unavailable, we luckily didn't need it and it smelled dusty because of the construction. The room was clean and the air inside was fresh. The breakfast was fairly good but the staff member was very unpleasant and said that the breakfast started at 7:30 despite the sign in the bedroom saying 7:00. We had to leave at 7:30 so that wasn't super convenient.

I didn't realise how close it is to THE landmark Hallsgrimkirkje or the BSI Bus Station (for airport transfers)! Reykjavik isn't big so most things are easily walkable (in decent weather) and being amidst residential properties, lots of electric scooters. The room was basic with slightly awkward window mechanism but clean, warm & comfortable. The door on it's swinging hinge was a bit violent on closing but you can't lock yourself out. Tip for the shower curtain in shared bathroom, it needs to be longer or install a bifold door so the floor remains drier......... Stairs are also a bit narrow with luggage with reception in the basement. Breakfast is simple "continental" style but worthwhile before a long day or touring!!
