Positives: The location of the hotel is ideal! It is essentially across the street from the Hallgrimskirkja church and thus much of downtown Reykjavik is easily accessible by foot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Negatives: We were on the second and third floors and used a tiny spiral staircase each day. We only discovered near the end of our visit that there was a second more accessible staircase at the other end of the hotel. Perhaps the staff could have mentioned that?

Finding lodging in Iceland isn't easy on a budget. So when I saw this \"relatively\" low priced guesthouse, I must say I wasn't expecting much. What a great surprise it was! It couldn't have been any cleaner. No carpets anywhere (carpets in hotels are rarely fresh and clean). It was extremely quiet. There was a balcony. My friend and I were in a room with a shared bathroom and there were only 3 rooms sharing the bathroom. Walking out the front door the big church is just a block away and in full view. We didn't communicate often with the staff but when we did they were extremely pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Everything that we'd wanted to see and do was within 5-15 minutes walk, so perfect location. If I'm ever back in Reykjavik I'll definitely be staying here and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Our flight to Iceland was abruptly cancelled by the airline due to a storm. I phoned Guesthouse Sunna to inform them that it would be impossible for us to arrive and requested that to cancel the booking. They stated a two-day advance notice for cancellations and charged my card for one night without any consideration of the circumstances.

I am disappointed by Guesthouse Sunna. It seems their primary concern is financial rather than the well-being of their customers.

We accidentally checked the \"poor\" box, when we meant to check \"excellent.\" DUH!

We stayed here for five nights and loved it. The staff was amazing—extremely pleasant and helpful, always taking time to answer our questions. We found one woman (the Manager, we think) to be so gracious and accommodating. For example, we asked for two extra pillows and they were delivered in 30 seconds!

Our room was on the ground floor, and it was so quiet and private and within a few feet of the free parking which was another asset provided by Sunna.

The beds were perfect, especially the down comforters. We couldn’t get the TV going but we never asked for assistance. After all, why watch TV when in Iceland??? It makes much more sense to roam the streets and pet the kitties of Reykjavik!

And there is not a better location: within a stone’s throw of the iconic Lutheran Cathedral and all the good shops and restaurants in the downtown area.

We’ll definitely be back!

The room is clean and self sufficient. Very convenient to walking to the city center.

It was a little tricky getting into the guest house because it was not clear that there are two buttons to access the door. After traveling for eighteen hours, we were not at our best and did not make the connection. Once we figured that out, it all made sense.

The guest house was easy to find - all you need to do is look up to find the large church and start walking up.

I wasn't there long enough to enjoy the common spaces but was really amazed by the offerings. Additionally, communication was great throughout; inquires were quickly answered and after-hours check-in instructions were incredibly clear. And they were so flexible about things like a delayed checkout and a request to keep my car in their lot for an additional hour after check-out. I loved everything about this guest house.

For a hotel as costly as this - they can provide shampoo and soap. Also, they ran out of breakfast by 8:00am. Having been a hotel for some time, they should know how much food they need. Yes, they gave us nearby bakeries that they recommended…. Which turned out to be great because a great breakfast was half the price of what the hotel charged.

Review: Guesthouse Sunna

Staff are great, helpful and friendly. Cleaning staff did nice job, every day. Have pride & are lovely.

I recommend the hotel.

Preface: Review based on personal objective criteria and 2 past stays in Iceland.

I originally made 2-night reservation at another place I stayed at before. Due to change, I could not add a day.
The org hotel is higher end
Price up by $40 a night at Sunna
Above pay for Hilton and Marriott stays in the US
In line $ with locations in Reykjavik
2 of 5 stars

Shared bathroom. Hair from previous person, single floor towel. The staff clean daily, credit them. ONE TOILET, ONE SHOWER for up to 3 rooms.
2 of 5 stars

Smells a bit old.
3 of 5 stars

Near top of shopping street and church
Walking distance to BSI bus
4 of 5 stars

Rooms well taken care of.
5 of 5 stars for staff

2 glasses, 2 towels, 2 wash clothes.
No TV, outlets minimal.
2 of 5 stars

Breakfast and lady serving it are good.
4 of 5 stars

Quiet, but not guests when they get up for restroom.
“The way it is”. Door noise.
3 of 5 stars

Sunna has luggage room with security code. Same PIN. No Monitoring. On your own.
2 of 5 stars

Conclusion: Kept with pride. Nice location. You get what common entry guests - hair, water splashed, toilet, trash in kitchen, noise.

Overall 2 of 5 stars - it is what it is.
Price competitive within Iceland, not with rest of the world. Read listing!

Good choice for a night or two!

The location for this hotel or “guesthouse” is excellent. You can throw a rock and almost hit the prominent Hallgrimskirkja church on the hill. More importantly, you’re 1 minute from one of the 2 main streets of the city (which also takes you downtown).

The staff were all very friendly and helpful with information. They even tracked my flights coming in for arrival, which was important given I actually got delayed and held over in another city..

The room itself is pretty small and the bathroom even smaller. It works, but for $200 a night it’s not cheap. There’s no real amenities here, but it works for an overnight or two. Just don’t expect the Marriott level of comfort and style.

The location on Sunna Guesthouse is central to main shopping streets, beautiful Hallgrimskirkja Church, tour and siteseeing bus stop #8 and the best restaurants in town (shout out Cafe Loki, Skal, Braud & Co. and Reykjavik Roasters) I loved the breakfasts and the classic Icelandic spartan quality of facility and service!
