Everything about this property worked great for our stay. Staff and facilities were excellent.

Please note that this site is very close to the regional airport where the tourist helicopters depart from, so there is quite a lot of noise during the day. This didn't bother us too much, and all the benefits of the establishment itself being quiet compensated for the airport noise.

Also, if having a room without a television is an issue for you, remember to bring a device on which to view your favorite shows and movies like we did!

Walkable to the bus station. The room was more spacious than some hotels I stayed in. Very comfortable stay and quiet. It was entirely self service with very clear instructions from the staff via email. I didnt explore the area around it as i got in late and just needed a bed before getting to the bus station for a ride to the airport.

The property was excellent, hospitality was top rated, no issues with checkin and checkout. Walkable distance from Bsi bus terminal.
Just few bits that might need attention or improvement are
The room didn't have a litter bin, there was one in the toilet but a small one.
The toilet door could have been better, as the current door is just a sheet of wood with sliders fixed at top, Perhaps one on slider hinges on the bottom would make it more stable. There was also no handle on it.

But overall no complaints it was a pleasant stay and we'd book again.

The property was super convenient for the shuttle bus to the KEF airport. We had to catch an early bus, so that's why we chose here to stay. It's also about a 20 minute walk or a short bus ride to downtown Reykjavik. There are a couple of places to eat nearby. The place was extra clean and checkin was very straightforward.

It was superficially clean, but the mould on the room's walls impacted my allergies. There was one electrical outlet. It seems they cared very little about satisfied guests, as the only reason for its location was being across from the Flybus station. I recommend this place for that, and that alone

I selected this guesthouse for arrival night and later departure night as it was near the bus to the airport and inexpensive. There is no staff or service available, but that is apparently the trend in budget accommodations. The lawn was wildly overgrown. It was embarrassing when the tour picked me up. I was pleased when a travel glitch required an extra night stay that they were able to accommodate me, but the basement room available had little light and poor ventilation. It is near the terminal, and it is inexpensive, but you will not want to spend any time in your room.

Sheets were questionably clean. Smelled pretty bad. I understand you have sulfur in the hot water but it smelled like someone died with hard boiled eggs stuffed in them and left to rot. In the city whenever I used the hot water it smelt significantly better. Dust and debris left on the floors, sink, and cabinet of my room. Bathrooms quite dirty, the community kitchen was missing a lot of things to cook with and everything was dirty. Someone stole my alcohol I left in the fridge. The shower kind of worked was still quite dirty and had black mold growing. The last two nights I was there some noise would go off and wake up the whole building every few hours. I would hope no one has to suffer that way I did.

BEST location for travel connections

We used this guesthouse on 3 occasions when self-touring Iceland for 30 days between mid-June through mid-July, 2021 and were absolutely delighted by our choice to stay here. This hotel is literally across the street from the BSI bus depot where the Flybus from Keflavik drops you off! It is also the stop for the Hop On Hof Off bus, and the central location for the entire bus system within the city and the island country. There is also a gas station with food supplies and 2 quick take-out restaurants (Subway and Serrano) between this bus station and the hotel.
We contacted our host, who met us at the hotel, and helped us to check in early. Great service!
We typically book our stays through hotels.com and have NEVER had a bad experience. We also book the cheapest place we can find which is centrally located. Hence, the Travel Inn Guesthouse was a screaming deal. To get to the central area and the front of the Hallgrímskirkja is a simple walk up the hill behind the hotel. If you go out the front door and turn right then continue straight past the roundabout, you will get to the city pond and the governmental buildings including the National Museum of Iceland and the Settlement Exhibition in about a kilometer or so.
We stayed in Room #9 right across from a bathroom/shower on the 2nd floor. Kitchen was small and I did not see a central living room. However, since we only basically sleep there, it was not a problem for us. Our room had it's own sink and was standard size.

We landed in the 6 am hour and had therefore made reservations for the night before we landed so we’d have someone to go first thing in the morning.

When I called the phone number provided per the instructions I received, I was met with a very angry and unhelpful employee. When that employee finally arrived at the guesthouse to let us in, he was grumpy and unpleasant, and made it known.

Surroundings dirty, overgrown and unlit. The steps were in need of repair and the back steps through which we were to enter had neither bannister nor railing. The owner was rude ( I have to work, I don’t have time to talk to you..I was told. Bathroom minuscule, stale smelling, in fact I was afraid to shower given the appearance of the room. If we had not prepaid, we would have left. The blackout blinds were really faded and the pillows were a disaster. Most of the day/ night there was no one to answer questions or address concerns. The owner/boss??? was not at all helpful. His clerical help seemed afraid of him but she did try to be helpful.
Nearness to the bus station did not in anyway compensate for the shoddy service and delapidated surroundings in and outside of ‘guest house’. It was like slumming at a very high price.

During our stay there, there were other guest arguing with the male owner for various reasons.
At check out, they will knock on your door at 9:55am advising you check out time is at 10 am.

Good location, but really hard to find!

The location is good, but it is terribly inconvenient that the front door is looked, and you have to call someone to come and open it for you. Plus, it is really hard to find, even though it is close to the bus station. It is hidden rather deep inside, behind trees, so it is hard to see the name of the hotel, and at night-- it is just impossible. I came in at night, and it took me a long time to find it! I was already frustrated and tired, when I found that I had to make a call to get the door open. I actually had an internationally working phone, so I called-- the number did not work! I walked back to the bus station and asked them to dial it-- it did not work! Someone finally answered only after several attempts. I felt very uncomfortable through the whole transaction, exhausted, and frustrated. It did not help that it was dark outside, and that the person who finally opened the front door for me was a male. I just did not feel quite safe through the whole thing.

Disappointing experience and poor standards

Little more than a hostel with incredibly basic rooms. The staff are non-existent and resort to notes that reprimand and outline potential penalties, e.g. 50 euros for a stolen towel or a lost key. The rooms are not well kept and are not turned over until you leave. Local to the domestic airport which is noisy at times and some rooms have very little windows which double up as emergency exits. Lack of maintenance and use of extension cables make it a potential hazard but if you want cheap and cheerful but without the cheerful this is right down your alley.

Took my deposit, didn't honor the booking

Unbelievably bad. I made my reservation in June, the 100% deposit was charged two days later, and we arrived (and waited 20 minutes) for the receptionist to show up. They claimed that the credit card had NOT gone through after three days and they cancelled the reservation. The night manager/owner called me a liar, told the receptionist to stop trying to help us and repeatedly said that he wanted us to leave and stop wasting his time and money. we were stranded and tired and couldn't contact Expedia on our own -- and had to return to our tour group hotel, where the rack-rate was over $400. in over 20 years of booking on Expedia I never had such an experience. After finally contacting Expedia, they confirmed the credit card deposit and coordinated the refund of that -- but, of course, the guest house manager shouldn't have been such a bully to two girls in a foreign country.

A large number of odd rules greet you when you eventually gain entry to this place (note - you can only check in at specific times you cant even enter the buildinh) such as \"you can't store your luggage here, take it to the bus station and put it in left luggage\".
That gives you an idea of the kind of place this is.

This is a very basic accommodation for travelers on a budget. I had a room with a shared bathroom which was OK although the hand-held shower was pretty annoying. Sound travelled easily through the walls. I stayed 5 nights and most of the time it was quiet except for one night when the loud conversation went on until the wee hours.

Nice hotel close to the shopping centre

I am completely satisfied with price-quality ratio of the hotel, and particularly satisfied with the kitchenette. The room is cosy, spacious and tidy.

Good stopover

place was good as an overnight before we headed out around Iceland. the guy was very friendly and helpful. breakfast provided had all the basics but really good, WiFi was great. the hotel was just a little outdated but if staying one night seemed fine for us as we had the twin room with shared bathroom, i believe there are nicer rooms if you were staying longer.

Excellent location, friendly staff, clean rooms

The pictures don't the justice to the rooms, the place is actually a lot nicer than in the photos.

The rooms are very basic but they are clean and modern and the staff is very friendly and available for help (you might have to give them a call because there is no 24-hour front desk here). If you are not after a five-star hotel experience, just a safe and clean place to stay in a great location at the fraction of the standard hotel rates, this is a perfect solution.

I felt that as a guest house it would have been nice to have had a kettle in the room.

Great Location

The best things about this hotel is its location, central Reykjavik. Main bus station for Reykjavik Excursions tours is right in front of the hotel. So for me its was great because I booked Golden tour, Norhtern light experience and blue lagoon with them. Other then location its bugdet hotel so for the price is it was ok and basic.

Solid, basic hotel

The hotel isn't the most modern but it's warm, comfortable and clean. Quick call on arrival and someone was there to check us in. Easy walking distance to the centre.

Budget friendly hostel

You get what you pay for. I had no problems with the place. It was cheap, so don't expect a luxury hotel. It was a house turned into budget friendly hostel. We weren't there that much so we had no problems!

nice, clean and reasonable price

(Solo, female traveler) nice, clean-place, comfortable bed, they provided free breakfast (good breakfast).free wifi, very close (3 minute walk to BSI) walking distance to Reykjavik city center (about 8 to 10 minute walk) I would definitely recommend it and will stay here again.

Pretty much bed only kind of place.

I just came home a few days ago after my second time in Iceland. I've stayed in various guest houses around the island & this one, I've felt most uncomfortable in & it was very basic & least welcoming.

No facilities provided to make yourself a drink & none are on offer free or paid for either except at a very basic breakfast. The tea was like water and when I asked if they could put another teabag in the pot one guy was quite obliging but Then I was told by another \"that's how the tea was meant to be!\" lol, I th ink she forgot I was British!!! She provided it but was almost begrudgingly.

The main Guy there seemed a complete scatter brain. I had read in a review before gong that he was drunk (guessing it was him) & it was like fawlty towers... Within 5 minutes of arriving I was half grinning at half worried about remembering those comments as I could see exactly what they meant!

I arrived with my daughter but they were expecting me to be alone. Basil was quite accommodating about it though and was eager to make little'un welcome. The room seemed clean but I saw what the bedding looked like inside the pillowcases & duvet cover when he made the other bed up and that was a traumatic experience.

Its also a hard walk for little ones to town but the BSI bus terminal is only across the road. Great if you are using the buses. It was an ok stay but I wouldn't go there again.

Good location in fine city

We kept ourselves happily busy out of the hotel, seeing and enjoying Reykjavik. The Golden Circle tour was a must, and the hop on, hop off tour of Reykjavik simplified our local sight-seeing and improved our dining and shopping. The hotel was well located for our needs, but that was its main attraction. I wish I had read other people's reviews before booking this one.

The only good thing I could say about this hotel is its location, across from the BSI bus terminal and an easy walk to the old city. The room was not what we had booked--double bed--but had two small twin beds, one of which creaked so much we had to change beds in the middle of the night. The manager was unprofessional, smelling of liquor at one point; the bathroom was dirty when we arrived and was not cleaned once during our five-day stay; the breakfast was of poor quality; bedding and towels were clean but of basic quality. The only thing provided in the bathroom was toilet tissue; we left toiletries for the next guests.

Economy hotel

Nothing fancy here. Not fully blackout curtains. Bare bones, but we knew that and stayed for the location and price. We could walk to downtown easily. Einar was a very fun guy. I enjoyed him. The breakfast was decent, but not as good as some of the other hotels on our trip.

Avoid it

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed. Avoid it completely.
