The room was smaller than what I expected, but there are common areas if you want to lounge in a more spacious area. Since I was on the go every day, the smallness wasn't much of an issue. The kitchen was fully equipped. Each floor's bathroom was furnished with soap, shampoo, and fresh towels daily. Staying warm was not a problem (I visited in early October): The bed was well made and the room was at a comfortable temperature, in fact it could get too warm, but I could remedy that by opening the window. I had a view of the famous Hallgrimskirkja. It was just one street over, which was extremely convenient as it is a major stop for tour companies and shuttle buses. It would take me just a little over five minutes to walk there. The neighborhood was a delight to walk around. I discovered a well-stocked grocery store close by too. This accommodation is self check-in and check-out. I only by chance met someone associated with the guesthouse (the proprietor?) when I first arrived. Otherwise, guests are on their own.

At the time of booking, it was mentioned in the description that there is free parking. My impression was there will be confirmed parking for my car. But the reality was that I had to search the free parking in nearby areas around the hotels. There was no parking being provided by the hotel. The description was misguiding. I end up wasting a lot of my time in search of the parking. Additionally, the bathroom was shared, which was not clear from the description at the time of booking. Nonetheless, the reception lady did her best to get me a parking, she really helped although she was a bit sick that day, and I am very thankful for her help. But my issue is the description of the oropis not precise and leads to unpleasant surprises and shocks l.

Highly recommend.

We spent our last two days in Iceland here. This is a family owned guest house with owners on site most of the day and adjacent at night. They are so nice and fun to talk to.

We loved our stay in a spacious 2nd floor king size bedroom with lots of light. Rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floor with a kitchen and bathroom on each floor and then an attic lounge with another small kitchen and full bathroom. We found it easy to access and use the shared bathrooms.

The attic lounge has two nice tables.
Free coffee/expresso machines and a large selection of teas on each floor and the host provided free orange smoothies for breakfast that were delicious.

The Host also helped us find the free (on street) parking in this busy city right adjacent to the guest house. They have beautiful bikes for touring the town, but we just left the car parked and walked everywhere.

This location is about a block away from the landmark Hallgrims Church, and all of the main city down to the wharves and docks is easily walk-able.

Everything was super clean and nice. Thank you.

The room was comfortable if a bit small by American standards. I would have preferred better blackout curtains--the midnight sun was pretty bright. The location couldn't be better, up close to Hallgrimskirkja and our favorite restaurant, Cafe Loki. The hosts were friendly and the property was clean. One bathroom for five rooms....but there was always a chance the one upstairs would be free.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Freyja Guesthouse in Iceland. From the moment we arrived, the greeting staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and informative — they truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home and to help us get the most out of our visit.
The location couldn't be better — it's within easy walking distance of many excellent restaurants, shops, and some of Reykjavik’s top sights, making it the perfect base for exploring the city.
Our suite was immaculate — spotlessly clean, beautifully updated, and modern in design. It had all the comforts of home and then some. You can really tell that a lot of thought and care has gone into making the space both functional and stylish.
We would not hesitate to return to Freyja Guesthouse on our next trip to Iceland, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reykjavik. A truly memorable and comfortable stay!

Everything was perfect! We had a great stay, the host (Ingo) was very nice and kind, and helped me with my parking payment issue. But keep in mind that the free street parking might be limited, we were lucky to get the last parking spot at around 7:30-8:00pm. And keep in mind, the laundry is not self-service, so you may need to allow more time for the laundry company to wash and dry your clothes.

SHARED BATHROOM. Ughhhh I feel like I made a mistake booking this place. It wasn't clear to me that all of the bathrooms were shared...the room is just a small room with a bed. The bathrooms are shared between all guests. The showers don't drain, the upstairs bathroom floods if you shower in it, and there's hair everywhere. I had to clean mass amounts of hair out of the shower twice. To go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you have to walk into the very bright hallway and then the bathroom light flickers when you turn it on. You can hear the people staying next to you. Don't stay here if you are a light sleeper or want privacy and a clean bathroom. The people who run it were nice enough but I honestly have no idea how this place gets high reviews, especially for the price. It was way to expensive to feel like we were in a dorm, and this really put a damper on the last night of our honeymoon.
