This was my 5th time staying at this amazing apartment guesthouse, and it just keeps getting better! It’s hands down one of the best guesthouses in Reykjavik. The location is perfect..right near the city center and close to supermarkets, so everything you need is within walking distance. This time, I was really impressed with the recent renovations they did to the kitchen. It’s now fully equipped, making it so easy to cook your own meals during your stay, which was a great bonus! A special shoutout to the cleaning ladies from Romania. They are always so kind, friendly, and efficient, and their warm hospitality really adds a personal touch to the experience. I can’t wait to come back again next time. Highly recommend this place!

This is a great Guesthouse. Me and my teenage son stayed for 2 nights and we loved it. The facilities were great, we used the kitchen both nights and wasn't short of anything. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were nice and clean and spacious. Was only a 6 minute walk to the main bus station where all the tours collect you from, so very handy and the cheap supermarket was 1 minute walk around the corner which was also great! Overall we really enjoyed our stay, check in and check out was very easy and we would definitely stay again. Good value for money 😊

I like the bed, it was very comfy, the place was very quiet eventho they have lots of guest but I heard nothing. The shared bathroom and toilete close to our room. Close to city center just walking for 5-7 minutes we found what we need. Strategic place, if we book a tour, so oft the hotel infront always as a pick up/drop off location. There is a kitchen as well and lots of free stuff from the guests who didn't stay anymore 😆 . The free locker room before check in or after check out.

Not the Guesthouse Pavi, but the guests who shared the same toilet, they left it dirty sometimes.

I liked having access and use of a kitchen, Iceland being quite expensive this was a big bonus (with also the more cost effective supermarket ‘Bonus’ around the corner) The room was clean and nice, having a hand basin in the room was convenient (bathroom and shower is shared and is perfect floor, I never had to wait to use the facilities and it was always clean) the heating was adequate, the host was responsive and helpful, the proximity to one of the bus stops (not the main bus station) was great, overall it was good stay.

I would have liked a desk in the room, but this is not something included this is just a personal preference. The only other small thing was I found the lighting in the room a little too dark, but this is a very minor thing.

The lobby was very modern and the kitchen was large and well equipped. Comfortable distance to the center of town and free parking outside - rarely struggled to find a space. The Kringlan mall is 5 minutes away by car and the Bonus supermarket is 5 minutes away by foot. The room was warm and comfortable.

The communal bathroom in the lobby was often poorly stocked with toilet paper and fresh towels. Some guests less considerate of others cook strongly scented foods - as it is usually cold out the smells tend to linger in the lobby and stairwell. Bedroom doors seem to need to be pulled firmly to close, which results in lots of door slamming through the day and night.

It was surprisingly well finished inside. The room was big, the ensuite bathroom was also good size and clean. Waterflow was strong and hot. Beds were comfortable, the windows opened, radiators were working. Honestly it was very good quality. The field kitchen was small, but tidy. We had a look in shared bathrooms as well, and they also looked clean. Overall everything was as it should be.

Just the fact the are where the hotel is situated, is a hotels area and there is quite few of them there. And the touring buses were just coming in out out 24/7, but we were on 4th floor so it want too but for us, just a bit of annoyance, but ppl on ground floor must have been a bit cross.

The hostel is located 700-800 meters from the center, and there is a Bonus store 100-150 meters away! On the third floor, there is a kitchen... The room was clean and spacious, with a sink and mirror inside... the beds were comfortable! It has a few shortcomings, but overall it's great for the money I paid.

There are four floors without an elevator (we had to carry our huge luggage up to the 4th floor). One kitchen is too little for four floors (it gets very crowded in the evening) and the oven is very old (we spent 3 hours baking 3 pizzas). The bathroom is cleaned only once a day!

Great location close to centre of Reykjavik. Comfy beds shared kitchen and bathroom. One great thing was you could store your luggage on the last day when you have checked out as they have lockers abd able to enjoy your time before your flight

Cleaners were noisy in the mornings shouting and banging around cleaning rooms where people had checked out. I understand they are just doing their jobs but could have been more thoughtful to those who are still trying to sleep and enjoying their holiday

To be honest, this accommodation totally exceeded my expectations. Don’t expect fancy as it’s budget but it had everything I needed for my stay. Knowing how expensive vacationing in Iceland can be, this affordable accommodation was a gem! To start off, the communication with the hotel staff was very smooth and they were extremely helpful and accommodating to my needs and really helped me with lifting my heavy luggage, storing it and helping me bring it back to the bus stop. Very friendly hard working staff. The kitchen had all the kitchen essentials in order to make your own food which was handy. The room is basic but was clean and ideal for my stay. The location is very close to local Bonus supermarket, shops and coffee places and downtown Reykjavik is just a stone throw away! I would consider staying here again as I felt the service was very good and affordable! Thank you so much Guesthouse Pavi :) Takk fyrir!

- a mirror missing from the bedroom that wasn’t a big problem. - no lift in the accommodation and having to walk 4 flights of stairs but that’s common in Iceland that there are no lifts in these type of guesthouses. Thankfully the staff were very helpful with helping me with my luggage.
