We booked the studio with four beds and a private bathroom and it proved to be an excellent choice. The accommodation is located a short walk from the city centre and 2 minutes from the Hallgrimskirkja, with plenty of free parking around. The studio was comfortable with all the necessary amenities. Breakfast was served in a building just around the corner at the Guesthouse Aurora and was very good and varied. The accommodation exceeded all our expectations based on the relatively mediocre ratings and was a very good value for money for Reykjavik and Iceland standards.

Everything was just fine.

Great breakfast spread! Easy to find and short walking distance from the main street. Quality black out curtains to help us nap after our red eye over.

No parking lot, but parking is free at the church and on the street out front.

The room was warm and clean, beds comfortable. We had kettle, microwave and fridge as well as crockery and cutlery, washing up liquid was supplied. Breakfast was in the main Aurora guesthouse was plentiful and had fresh warm bread cereals coffee juices and more. Shared shower room was always clean and tidy. Truly awesome shower. Shower gel was supplied in a dispenser in the shower and was very nice, I have sensitive skin and used no issues. Very central and 5 mins walk from Hallgrímskirkja and main shopping area. A Brauð & Co bakery shop just off the square by Hallgrímskirkja do not listen to Google maps. Also a hot dog stall at the beginning of the same road. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Personally I recommend this guest house highly as a good value for money central place to stay.

There's nothing I didn't like! Visitors note when you book Guesthouse Andrea is a separate building around the corner from Guesthouse Aurora but they are run by the same people. Reception and breakfast for Andrea are at Aurora not always clear on booking.com and Google reviews

The location is absolutely fantastic! We stayed in the studio, which was spacious enough for four people and included the added convenience of a private bathroom and kitchen. Breakfast was included, with a great variety to choose from. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the check-in process was smooth and straightforward. Overall, a wonderful experience!

While overall the experience was great, there were a few things to note. The bathroom had a slight smell, which is common in Iceland due to the geothermal heating system used for hot water, but it wasn’t a major issue. Towels are only provided upon request, though the staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served in a separate facility, which can get a bit crowded during peak times. Also, there are quite a few stairs to the studio, which might not be ideal if you're carrying large bags. Despite these minor points, it was still a pleasant stay.

The location is great. Near the city centre but placed in a quiet street. Close to the main bus station. Several restaurants, shops and markets around the corner. Twin room is a bit tight if travelling with bulky luggage and it is well equipped for small bites (microwave, kettle, coffee machine, fridge, some cutlery and plates, and a sink) Nice breakfast is included in the room rate. It is simple but has a bit of everything. Overall, it is a good place to spent a few days in the capital. Recommended if not looking for a fancy stay.

It was not very anoying but it was a bit cold in the shared bathroom. A window is always open, I guess to prevent mist and humidity. Take this is consideration if travelling in a cold month.

We visited in December. There was a draft coming from the windows in our room which was present even when we close the curtains. And the toilet had the window (window was located closer to the ceiling) open so cold air was going inside.

The room was comfortable, with a big and very soft bed. The room included a samll kitchen, which was really perfect. The staff was very helpful and nice. The breakfast was good, way better than I expected. The location is just perfect, close to the cathedral and in a very quiet area. Everything was super clean and well organized.

The guesthouse has shared bathrooms, but the number of bathrooms available is not enough for the number of guests, leading to queues for showering in the morning.

They provide everything they say at the expected quality (or higher). I did not say anything about their WiFi because I did not need to use their WiFi. Otherwise, late check in at 2AM was not a problem, they provided clear instructions: key code to enter reception at Freyjugata 24 to pickup the key of the building and room where I had to go and a plan of their buildings at Freyjugata and Njardgata streets. Towels were provided at the reception when they opened, at 7:30AM. Everything was clean. Breakfasts were good, abundant good quality food. Hot water radiators really hot, so the small high window that staid open for ventilation in the showers room was not a problem. Microwave, fridge and electric tea kettle in the room were functional. Plates and silverware were also provided in the room. One toilet per floor (3 rooms) but it was not a problem for me, I only staid 1 week and I was still "operating" according to the time zone I come from.

The front door of the building I lived in was not properly tuned so the door closing was a bit noisy. I never waked me up but it might be a problem for sensitive people. A simple door rubber gasket (as actually are installed at rooms' doors) would help a lot. Also soundproofing of the building is not great, but it was not a problem for me, the other travelers were decent people.

I had a 22 hr layover so I booked last minute at 9pm. I then went on a northern lights tour got back to bus terminal at 1am. Called the admin office and the admin stayed on the phone until I reached the guesthouse and advised me how to get inside and made sure I was inside the guesthouse before hanging up. Only a short walk from the bus terminal and I felt very safe during my stay. The bathroom was clean water was hot and breakfast was traditional and had many options. I will definitely use Guesthouse for future travels.

I liked the location (near the church and near the BSI Reykjavik Bus Terminal). There kas very many eating places near the Guesthouse Andrea (pizza place and local food eating place). Staff was very helpful (helped to find suitable sightseeings) and nice. There was very good Wifi.

I did not like common bathroom and toilet. There was not power socket at the head part of the bed. No TV.
