Below averageStayed with family · For friends and family
Good proximity to everything in Iceland but very noisy. Live music was playing in a bar next door until late hours. I was traveling with a child and the music kept both of us awake. Also, one bathroom/shower shared between 4 rooms is not sufficient. Someone was using it every time we needed it. The furnishings are outdated but reasonably clean.

The location is good, but the listing did not clearly mention that this unit is a room in the basement with a shared common area and shared bathroom (there seem to be other options in the guesthouse that are not in the basement). The bathroom door also made a loud squeaky noise, which was not ideal for a shared unit, and the bedsheets seemed a bit worn or not fully clean. That said, the staff communication was friendly, and we appreciate them hosting us.

Our room was 102. King bed. Very clean. Shared bathroom, but not a problem.

The location is the big plus for this property, however, if you want quiet between 8pm - 11pm, this is not ideal without ear plugs due to live music at the local bars.
The property details do not specifically say it's a shared bathroom/shower so that was a surprise. The property also provided the door code to the wrong door so I was glad I had a working phone and they answered promptly to provide the code to the correct door. Otherwise, the rooms were spotless and the bed was comfortable, even though they were very small. It would be nice to have a hand towel provided in each room versus the single hand towel in the shared bathroom.

While the property is located in a super convenient location, the description was inaccurate. The listing states that there is on site parking for 2.50 per stay. However, when we arrived, there was no onsite parking, and the owner told us only street parking was available, which was $5 per hour between 9am-9pm, and there’s a 3 hour time limit, so we had to check in and out and move our vehicle. If you have a rental car like we did, I would not recommend staying here, or at least know that the listing lied about the availability and price of parking. Additionally, we never received an email with check-in or check-out instructions l, so we had to call the owner to get the code for the building, and she seemed annoyed at our call and insisted we received an email (we didn’t). Generally, the guesthouse was clean and had everything else we needed, but there is no hot water.

The property was in an excellent location, just feet away from the main street, very warm and comfortable albeit the room was small, with a shared bathroom and shower.

Great Quaint stay, great location, close to everything. Only complaint is the bed and pillows were a bit uncomfortable, but overall fine for one night
