The listing stated that the room included an in-room refrigerator and in-room microwave, but neither of those amenities was provided. It also advertised access to Netflix and Apple TV, but I was never able to use those services because the Wi-Fi would not work properly. I reached out approximately five times for assistance, but the issue was never resolved.

Additionally, the room was advertised as newly renovated, which did not reflect its actual condition. The room appeared quite worn, and there were areas that looked like mold, which was concerning.

The building was also described as having soundproof walls, but that was not my experience. I was kept awake until nearly 1:00 a.m. by neighboring guests showering, using hair dryers, and noise from the hallway. Unfortunately, the lack of soundproofing made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

Another issue involved the shared bathrooms. Based on the reviews and description, I expected there to be readily available bathrooms on our floor. However, the only bathroom on our floor was unavailable every time we attempted to use it, forcing us to go down to the basement each time.

So, listen— do yourself a favor and avoid this guesthouse like the plague. If you’re going to book an expensive trip to Iceland, the least you can do is book a place that you can stay comfortably.

The guesthouse listing failed to mention just HOW MANY other people are staying in this place. To give you an idea, this guesthouse has THREE levels- a sea of people in a tiny guesthouse with limited bathrooms and one little kitchen that everyone is forced to share.

Upon staying here, I quickly realized cooking my own meals would be a challenge in and of itself. Time is of the essence and I was trying to explore, not wait for everyone to finish preparing and cooking their meals. Not to mention, there were guests drunk and loud as hell in conversation at midnight in the kitchen. There were nights that I simply could not sleep restfully and had to pay the price for it the next day.

My TV never worked. Brought it up to them multiple times, their favorite immediately reply is “I’ll check with the team and get back to you shortly”. Guess what? Never happened. I was never able to unwind with a show before bed as I’m used to in my own home. The staff simply does not care.

Don’t make the same mistake that I did and try to cheapen your stay by staying here. Spend the extra bit of money and stay in a place you can feel comfortable and not be surrounded by strangers that are just as uncomfortable as you are.

Never, ever, ever again. The worst stay I’ve ever experienced.

The room was ok, basic 2 twin beds. There's some electric outlet that seem unsafe. Kitchen counters had packing tape over the areas falling apart. TV would not work. Shower tile was gross and moldy. Shower would not drain. Towels were 5 years old. Torn on the sides. Messaged the property and they brought new ones. We had the same place reserved for our last night, but canceled it.

This is a good, affordable place for those who are traveling on a budget, and like to be downtown. Everything is is walking distance.
We had a nice room, right next to the shared bathroom. Everything was clean and well maintained.
The kitchen had a nice espresso machine, but no freezer.
We didn't use the laundry machines, but there were available in the basement.
Overall very positive experience.

Really disappointing. The listing explicitly said the room had a microwave and fridge in it. I got there to find not only did it NOT have that but it was a shared bathroom and kitchen as well.

As a solo female traveller I didn't feel safe. The risk of leaving my food in a shared kitchen for 9 rooms and the bathroom had a light on the outside of the room and a dodgy lock.

Rang the staff as instructed to be told that they couldn't help and none of the rooms had those services. I could submit a complaint and theyd forward it to the management. I'm home now a week later and inspite of chasing them ive heard nothing except a bland 'we're sorry for the inconvenience\" and an admission the listing are wrong.

If you book here be prepared for it to be a bit rough, it's a blend of a student house and a halfway home. Broken locks, badly fotted taps, chipped furniture, moldy showers, wobby door locks, broken appliances, and things held together with sellotape. And the noise from other and the bathroom was bad

I don't mind basic, but i was actively lied to. I would NEVER have booked somewhere with shared bathroom and kitchen if it had said that on the listing. If you are a solo female traveller i DO NOT RECOMMEND i was made to feel very uncomfortable in the shared spaces by other residents and there was a random guy who let himself in to use the bathroom one day.

If you're just looking for a flop house and don't mind it rough then the location is great and the cleaners are lovely.

The location was fantastic. Check in was easy. Staff seemed to come in regularly and take out the trash and tiddy up the bathrooms. The couch for the third person to sleep on was awful. There was a lot of mold in the shower and the drain didn’t work well. You had to continually shut the water off during your shower so it didn’t flood the bathroom. Staff was notified and they were able to have maintenance clean the drain the following day. Customer service was good. Overall, the location was worth the stay.

Some of the other guests were very loud and noisy and walls are thin. The keypad to get in was very loud and we heard everyone entering and exiting. It’s on a busy street but it is walkable to down town which was nice. The room was very stuffy with no way to get any airflow but the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was always wet so I don’t know if there was a leak or it was just from showers. It was a cheaper option for the area but I’m glad we were barely there and only stayed a couple nights. All in all…meh.

Communal Bathrooms

Not what we were expecting.. Its essentially a non-descript, 3-story house in a standard neighborhood, paralleled by a busy main road, where parking if first-come-first-serve. The yard around the house was overgrown and the grounds were in need of maintenance. The only indication this was a guesthouse was the sign on the front door, which was not facing either street; we had to park , get out, walk around, and find it. Inside, there is a lockbox with a key for each room on each floor. Our family of 5 was split between rooms on the 3rd and 1st floors. The rooms consisted solely of a bed, some drawers, and poorly-fitted curtains with open windows.. Older furniture with signs of heavy use. There was also just a single common bathroom for all rooms on each floor and they weren't very clean looking or smelling. We did not find or see the common kitchen area in the photo, or any other room that looked as clean as that photo, though we briefly searched each floor.

The pictures in advertisement were much nicer than the actual guesthouse. We were located by the kitchen and it was very noisy, especially during nighttime hours. Severe mold problem in our room from ceiling to floor. Parking was ok. Weeds up to my shoulders in back yard, and no clean path from rear street to door so very easy to track dirt in.
We were there for 4 days and no way to refresh towels or washcloth.

What did we like? Room provided 2 twin beds and 1 sofa bed for 2 that were comfortable. It has a good location that allows you to walk to the main streets of Reykjavik.

What didn't we like? Entrance displays the need of maintenance. Bushes are overgrown and paint is past due. When we entered the Guesthouse, it was smelly. The room assigned to us was downstairs and if you do not turn on lights (which initially you have no idea where they are), you will not be able to see much.

Multiple showers like a dorm. I was not comfortable bathing alone since it seemed so spooky.

Overall, in our travel, we stayed in 5 different locations, and this was by far the least that we liked. Not returning and would not recommend.

Clean and convenient stay near Reykjavik. Easy to walk to the main downtown. Convenient facilities and amenities. Even though the bathrooms were shared there was never a wait and they were clean. The available kitchen and laundry room was convenient. The room could use some updates and fixes. The bedroom light fixture was hanging by the electrical wires, the flooring had water damage, the back door had a visible gap to outside and the apple TV was missing a HDMI cable so the TV did not work.

The door and window hinges were both broken. It was very difficult to open the door to our room. It was Impossible to close the window completely, making it a chilly and noisy night. The electricity in our room was off when we got to the room. When we called the reception desk they told us to check the fuse box. The electricity went off again when we were getting ready for bed. The parking was very difficult as non locals since parking is along the side of a very busy street. It was however a comfortable room and the common area was nice and well equipped.

We loved our stay at the guesthouse, from the convenient location to the coffee maker in the kitchen. It had everything we needed at a good price. Customer service really helped us out by checking to see if we could drop our bags off a few hours earlier than the regular check-in time. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and seating area. When we rented a car at the last minute, we had no trouble finding free parking. We would definitely stay here again!

There was a cigarette burn on the pull out couch where our kids were supposed to sleep. The floor hasn't been swept or cleaned from the previous guests. Logistically the TV could not be turned on. The shared bathroom is very small, so it's hard to navigate if you have kids. The shower was very moldy on the bottom. We were lucky to find a parking spot in front but be aware of you have a car and not familiar with the area to know where you can park.

Noisy road and traffic keeps you awake.

We discussed our problems with the staff at around 8 pm when we checked in. Linens and sheets were not looking fresh , suffocating room , dysfunctional tv , dirty towels hanging , comoom washroom unclean and smelly. We asked for change of room , we were not given. Despite the fact that we could see spare keys. We asked about tv , told that it is getting renewed. Later on told in morning that it was functioning which was a lie. We asked for refund and denied putting all the blames. We were highly dissatisfied

Would recommend for traveling on a budget

Very pleasant experience. No contact needed. All the instructions given ahead of time. Felt very comfortable finding the property. Everything as described. Good backup for your money. And free parking was always available near the property. Kitchen had everything you need to cook, coffee was provided free or charge.

Beds are terrible. Curtains are falling off. There’s a TV but no socket to plug in. We’re 4 family and the sofa bed were moving and separating. It’s centrally located though. Cleaning lady are really nice. But it’s really really old. Windows are broken.

CONS:
1. The shower on the same floor as the kitchen does not drain.
2. the dryer does not dry your clothing, it is broken.
3. There are no extra drying racks to use for wet clothes.
4. The door handles are falling apart.
5. The TVs in rooms that have two cords cannot reach the minimal outlets available, especially when both cords must be plugged in to work, and therefore the TV is useless.

PROS:
1. Great location.
2. Nice and polite customer service members, who recognize this place is not great and just want to help but can’t actually do anything.

Modern and Good location

Modern rooms and kitchen. Not too far from the city centre and easy to walk to.
They allowed us to enter early to drop off our bags which was a massive bonus otherwise we would have been stuck with them most of the afternoon. There was no front desk and we had to phone to gain entrance codes but not sure how else we would have got in as they weren't sent in advance

Worst place we have ever stayed

The guesthouse is lousy, too close to Main Street. The condition is terrible and definitely needs a remodeling. Hardwood floor is dirty. The facial and bath towels are hard and could rub your skin off. We did not use at all. There is nothing provided except a hand soup in bathroom.

I was disappointed with the staff follow up per our request. Three out of the four people in our party are allergic to pillows and comforters with feathers. I put in a request to have this changed and was told that they would bring us alternative linens and pillows. They never showed up and I called again and emailed and was told that they made a mistake and would not be bringing us what we needed in order to sleep without allergens. They apologized but did not bring what they had told us they would earlier in the day. Another negative is that it is on a main road and our room happened to be on the road side. If you can try to request a room on the opposite side, The positive is that it was clean.

This was a decent accomodation for the night. There was a miscommunication between Nordurey and Expedia where we didn't get the entrance code email, but luckily the guesthouse answered their phone in the middle of the night when the virtual agent didn't understand what the problem was.
The rooms are recently redone and the shared kitchen area is nice. Easy to walk to BSI bus terminal.

The property is a disaster. When we entered the house, we were overwhelmed with a smell that almost gagged you. It smelled like the basement was a morgue with a freezer that went bad. I would have turned around and found a different place if it wasn’t late. When I raised the issue to management, they acted as if they didn’t know about the smell - impossible. Next day, someone sprayed some deodorizer. WORST PLACE IVE STAYED IN OVER 20 years of traveling.

Aside from a shared bathroom arrangement- which wasn’t a problem at any point- this place was a good base for a walking exploration of Reykjavik. We walked to and from transpiration points- including the bus depot- pretty easily. We’d go back, certainly.

We had a good stay. Our room was small but we spent very little time in it. Being out all day on tours - the Guesthouse is very close to all the bus stops and bus station to access these tours.

We lost our room key which was sorted straight away by the staff and we were very grateful to get this sorted so efficiently.

The kitchen is in need of some repairs - the stove is smashed in the corner and the dishwasher not working. All bathrooms and kitchen was always clean.
I think more drying cloths in the Kitchen would be good. Some guests had to put glasses back wet.
It was perfect for our budget and trip. I would stay again.

It was a very good place to stay during our trip, all the tours that we booked had bus stops near to the guesthouse. The cleaning was very good even with shated bathroom. Just about the shared kitchen, we left a box full of salt in the basket \"food to share\" because was a lot just for a couple, but in the next day the salt wasn't there anymore.
In general, I recommend this place to stay!

Something in Iceland that's not exorbitantly priced and offers decent value for money! This place is a find for this reason alone. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Outside of the building could use a bit of work, but nothing major. My only complaint is about the Wifi -- spotty and intermittent in reliability, which can be irritating when you're dependent on the internet to fine-tune your travel arrangements, check in for flights, etc.
