Convenient with nice amenities

The room (family triple with private bathroom) was on the lower level and was easily accessible managing some stairs. It was large and welcoming for the two of us with outlets readily available by the bedsides for charging. The private shower fluctuated a bit on temp but nothing unreasonable. The main bed was very hard and not forgiving if you a side-sleeper. We found parking around the guest house easy to find but walked to everything versus drive.

Paint peeling from all windows. Leaking faucet. Could not fully stand up except in front of tv. Very strong smell of drain water. Sink drains very very slow. Cannot fully close windows. Sheets & towels were clean.

We really liked the room size and the private bathroom. Bed was comfortable.
We were unable to open the front door using the access code provided to us via email, but it worked for the back door. The drapes in the room should extend over the entire window, but they do not.
Overall a very good stay despite some minor issues.

Poor communication regarding code for entering guesthouse. Breakfast was ordinary quality. Worst of all there was a foul odor of fish or some weird food and the bathrooms had a sulfur type odor. No exhaust system.
Beds were okay. No managerial help other than on the phone.

Was here for a one night stay, this place is charming and is all self check in. Walkable in the area and we were able to park the car directly in front. Our private bathroom was very small and tight, and the water temp fluctuated, but all in all a good stay!

No staff to meet. Check in was super simple! It is however on a major roadway. Shared bathroom facilities which I felt was a bit strange. Water did smell like sulphur. First time I smelled that in the wash but it wasn’t super strong. Average overall.

When i previously stayed at this property a couple of years ago I thought it was excellent and was looking forward to staying again. Unfortunately I was allocated room 3C where it was not possible to see the views as the windows had frosted glass. One window was in very poor condition as it was rotten with small insects in the rotten wood and did not stop the drafts or the noise from the road below. Also the excellent breakfast is now not available until June.

First, the property is in desperate need of upgrades. From the furniture in the common areas, to fridge which the inside door shelves were broken, the inside freezer door showed the insulation. The staff was the only good thing about the property

This is a sweet little property! Its a little more affordable than other places in Reykjavik, yet easy walk to the ocean and downtown. The room is comfortable and clean with nice amenities. The breakfast is small and simple, but quite adequate! We would definitely suggest a stay here.

We were placed in wrong room by Expedia and since full could not be accommodated correctly. Only staff on site is cleaning crew who were polite but are not able to help with room placements. So any problems or concerns you had to call someone. The room was a nice size and clean, but as it had a big cornered bay window, it did not have sufficient curtains. As sun is only down a couple hours in summer, only one side had a black out curtain and the regular curtains didn’t wrap around to cover all of the window. Had to use hair clips to keep the sun out. The window ledge was also broken/ falling apart had to be careful around.

Good guesthouse, pack light if coming by bus

Snorri’s was a very fine guesthouse. I was on the top floor, the rooms are small, but I was only 1 person. I stayed 2 different times. The 1st time, my room was at the front of the house facing the street. I found the street noise bothersome, but others might not. The room did have its own sink, which I highly enjoyed. My 2nd stay was at the back of the house, and my room was very quiet, but no sink. Although the TV is satellite, there were only 3 channels (all BBC variety). On the 2nd floor the rooms are larger. There is no elevator, so pack light. I had to carry my suitcase up 2 flights on a spiral staircase. There was no trouble with the shared bathroom. All was clean and I felt very safe. The email arriving the day before your arrival has vital information you need. There is a phone # posted on the outside door if you have trouble, assuming you have an international calling plan. I did not, and I did not receive that email, so I had some trouble. But it was quickly resolved and things proceeded very well. Breakfast is good and all I needed: bread, hard-boiled egg, Skyr, granola, cheese, cucumbers, oranges, apples, etc. The coffee is strong for my personal taste. If you are arriving via bus (i.e., FlyBus), they will drop/pick you up at the bus stop #11, which is about 3 blocks away. This is fine if you packed light with good weather; if you are older, you might consider a taxi or car. Limited parking on the street. Yes, I would stay here again.

Very cute and cozy guesthouse ideally located near the BSI terminal, downtown, and points of interest. The single room is perfect for a solo traveller. The whole place is clean and well cared for. The shared bathrooms wasn’t an issue but then again December is not peak season so maybe capacity was not full. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. The option to use laundry machines and kitchen was really great and makes guests feel at home. The owners are nice when you can get a hold of them (did not see them at all during my stay) and my concern was just that communication was mostly one sided. I had a few questions/concerns that did not get answered before my arrival despite contacting them via different methods several times. They send a PIN code and check in information at night on the day before your check in, but maybe takes a while to get it. Other than that, everything was great.

Staff was most accommodating—always responsive to guests’ needs or requests; always helpful; and always ready with a smile.

My single room was comfortable; and the shared bath was always neat, tidy, and clean. Breakfasts were ample and appetizing: everything was fresh, including the coffee, and quite tasty.

Location is very good: away from “tourist central” but less than ten minutes from downtown or to the Cathedral. Even though Snorrabraut is a main street, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. I would welcome another stay at Snorri’s.

Snorri’s guesthouse was perfect for our 5 days and 4 nights in Reykjavik. They accommodated an early check in for us since our flight was arriving at 6:30 am. That allowed us to rest and adjust to the 4 hour time difference. Then upon checkout, luggage can be safely stored in the lobby if your flight is later. That allowed us time to continue exploring Reykjavik. Daily breakfast was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

My dad and I stayed at this location again because we liked it so well back in September 2022! All the amenities were there and the hosts were most welcoming. A great spread for breakfast. The twin room we stayed in was smaller than the family room (double bed and a single bed) last September.

Our room had its own bathroom and both were clean and well maintained. Nespresso machine a nice addition. Breakfast was buffet style with bright dining room. Travel guides for Iceland were available - nice addition. No lift if dragging heavy suitcases. Easy walk to downtown and easy access back to highway. Free parking always available. Outdoor area of property could be spruced up a bit.

Great location about 5 mins walk from the main shopping street in downtown Reykjavik. Good breakfast. Room was modern and furnished well. Armann and Sarri were friendly hosts, hospitable, and easy to reach.

Minor annoyance (that is not the fault of the property) is that the bathroom window faces an intersection with a crosswalk, and the metronome-like sound gets repetitive. This was solved by closing the window.

The home owner is super friendly and contacted me regarding my stay in very detailed manner before my stay was due. The room I was staying in was fantastic, large walking space, Tv, clean room and had a real good linen aroma to the room. Which also tells you that everything in that rooom is cleaned and washed. Fast Wi-FI, lots of breakfast options (beter then some of the more expensive hotel I stayed in near the KEF airport). Also if you need help with anything regarding the stay, the owner responses really quicky, overall for the price you're paying, this place is five stars and really underated. To get the single room at this price is crime, as its so cheap. :D

We were a little disappointed with the level of interaction from the host. We had hoped to discuss things to do in the city but the hosts were never available. We had the impression from the website that they are normally on site but we’re not while we were there.
