Location - perfect, in the city centre. Good parking place for car.

Clean, stylish and in the city center. I like the community style.
08.03.2023 :
We had a great 2 night stay here. We even got a surprise visit from the neighborhood resident orange kitty who waltzed into our room like he owned the place (he probably does)

The room was clean and comfy. Because it was raining on and off when we stayed in Reykjavik, the central location of the guesthouse allowed us to hide from the rain whenever we needed to and take a little break. Would definitely revisit again on our next trip!

Definitely one of the best 'cheap' accommodation I have stayed in whilst I was visiting Reykjavik. It's situated very close to the city center of Reykjavik, so if you stay here you can spend a day or two wondering around town just by walking around. If you are catching a bus or coach early in the morning, for a whole day trip far away, just ask the staff to make a takeaway breakfast for you. It's amazing they will pack your breakfast for you before you leave, complete with a whole bar of chocolate! So generous and thoughtful.
The breakfast is also worth staying in to eat , for at least one time, because you get to meet other guests and you don't have to fight for the food to feel satisfied unlike some other similar home stays. Though I have been to Iceland, I wouldn't mind staying at this place again.
The beds are clean, and they have free modern duvets which are not folded under your mattress, like the old style of making beds! Some accommodation still use to make their beds this old way in Reykjavik, really a right mess when you wake up!

It’s a nice and clean place to stay in Reykjavik. Very central, at the opposite of Hallgrímskirkja. The stuff is friendly and they serve a tasty breakfast with homemade bread. And they have a cat!

The hosts are really cool and the room, charming. The common living room is full of books and guides plus the hosts that give super advices for visiting Iceland. Many thanks!

Best host we had in Iceland for a week and that's saying something because every host we had was nice.. The house interior was beautifull and edgy, with really good taste decoration and the rooms are very comfy

Stayed twice. Once before doing ring road trip and second when we came back.

In the start got garden room (very convenient for someone like me with knee troubles, shortcut to kitchen via stairs, router in room, fridge and heater.

Door of bathroom was due to be repaired, but was not a big problem.

When we left, asked for room on ground floor (since we were coming back). Was given, our laundry was done nicely.

Overall very kind and friendly staff.
Had no problem in removing shoes when coming in (as its also same in our culture).

Great location too. Next to church and city centre.

Very nice host however the rooms and overall place is really run down with strange smells off the sinks. Shared bathroom facilities for most rooms and this was not communicated at booking! Cheap hostel versus a guesthouse - mismatched expectations for us. Great if you are looking for a hostel though.

Their Rye bread ice-cream with cream and caramelized rhubarb syrup was amazingly delicious! Their Icelandic platters were worth trying out if you wish to sample some Icelandic specialty such as mashed fish and smoked trout.

Service was quick and cafe attendants were friendly despite the busy crowd. This cafe is definitely worth visiting ??
27.11.2017 Jessica
Food is traditional Icelandic. We had the fish stew there, and it was ok, but not the best we had in Reykjavik. Beautiful location, delicious rye bread ice cream (sounds weird, but it works!). Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area.
26.11.2017 Miguel
Great atmosphere, with lovely music playing. Very amicable staff.

The food, homemade Icelandic ware, is delicious and affordable compared to a large majority of places in Iceland.

I recommend trying the Rye Bread Ice-cream.
25.11.2017 Andrew
Based on the menu and the smell that hit me at the front door, I was expecting fishy and funky. It ended up being delicious fish, meat soup, and veggies. The fermented shark was pretty weird, but worth trying. Prices not too bad for a huge plate of food.
15.11.2017 Sam
One of the best and most authentic meals of our trip! We got here 10 minutes before they opened and we're seated right away. We split one of the platters with a bit of everything. Weirdly delicious! Make sure you an adventurous eater tho!

I've never ate so slowly to enjoy all of the flavours in my meal. Absolutely beautiful. Cosy atmosphere and an authentic experience. Add it to your must-do list in Iceland!
29.11.2017 James
We went for alate lunch and were served beautifully prepared small plates of food, served by polite and attentive (but not pushy) staff, in a modern, unfussy bar/bistro. Of particular note were the trio of marinated herring, and also the wild mushroom risotto with beef cheek and parmesan shavings. Prices average for Reykjavik.
21.11.2017 Francine
Fabulous tapas-style restaurant in Reykjavik. Lunch menu of 3 tapas was ideal and the lamb, fish pie and garlic potatoes were all delicious. Waiting staff were very attentive and this was the perfect place for our last day in Iceland.
24.08.2017 Dave
Really awesome space. The staff is great, the food is superb, and the prices aren't ridiculous like most places in this city. Dined upstairs with some friends and happened to have the whole floor to ourselves. Very cool. Highly recommend it!

During our stay we visited this location three times. The staff was phenomenal and the food was great. Awesome pizza and I'd recommend to anyone who is craving for some.
03.05.2017 Edward
My 9 y/o daughter wanted a pizza and this place was open after 20:00 so we were fortunate.

The place was nice and warm and the ambiance was very pleasant. We ordered the cheese pizza and it was very good. At only stayed for a quick pizza but it would've been nice to go there for dinner.

Good place of you're looking for something familiar.
