Reykjavik bed & breakfasts

Pros: We arrived late. Great hospitality! Karlotta has made arrangements so that we were looked after. It's a lovely room in their lovely home. Comfortable bed, love the 2 single blankets. She has thoughtfully put a microwave and kettle in the dining area so we could help ourselves to tea.

Cons: Location is in the suburbs. Reykjavik in general is expensive... Be prepared to pay for expensive taxi. We made a mistake by thinking we could easily walk to Go Camper to pick up car, but that was an approx 20 mins taxi away. If you already have rented a car from airport, this isn't an issue.

Pros: The home was comfortable and the owners very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Excellent location, well maintained home, extremely friendly and accommodating host. Would 100% stay here again!

Pros: Karlotta and Hugo were excellent hosts and both made us feel extremely welcome. They gave great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was also a highlight and helped us keep to our more strict budget. The place itself was very homely and having books in every room was lovely. Karlotta also kindly offered to change our bedding and towels – much appreciated after an evening at the Blue Lagoon!

Cons: The only thing I would say is that the property was quite expensive for the location. It was advertised as being in the city centre of Reykjavik, but it was a 25-minute walk. We didn't mind walking (and we did hire a car for two of the days) but would have been nice to be a little bit closer. Other than that, our stay was fantastic.

Pros: The hosts were very nice and made us feel very comfortable.

Pros: Very quiet very friendly. Needed to leave very early - was left breakfast self serve, made sandwiches which I ate later

Cons: Long walk into town

Pros: Karlotta (the host) is so sweet and welcoming person! She is always ready to help. The breakfast is also a nice option! The house itself and the room are stylish, modern but with it's own history and unique things so you can feel yourself almost at home! Definetely wish to stay longer.

Cons: Not so close to city center, Laugavegur street - 20-25 minute walk. But that's all that may not be suittable for some people. For us it was okay.

Pros: Fantastically lovely hosts, cosy room, super breakfast

Pros: Room set up was perfect with desk and open wardrobe. View of the church from my window was great! Good location.

Cons: Shower area was a bit dark and smelt a bit, maybe it’s recycled water?

Cons: Noise can be heard from room.

Pros: The location is Superb, central, and right by the Hallgrimskirkja church (see picture) and a bus stop for which many tour operators use as a drop off/pick up point. The kitchen is big and very well equipped - everything you need to prepare and cook food, and every room has its own personal storage space for groceries. The room I had was small and basic, but again had everything you need for clothing and storage, and even a little desk and chair for you use a laptop. Most importantly, the bed linen was very clean and fresh. When you go out during the day you can lock your room and take your key with you. Finally, maybe I was just lucky, but I had good interactions with other guests, they were all pleasant and polite, and everyone cleaned up after themselves in the kitchen which was really nice :-)

Cons: THESE ARE NOT COMPLAINTS - JUST OBSERVATIONS :-) I feel to leave an honest review I should mention a few things. The room was a tad warm for me, you can open the window but it doesn't open far, and the radiator was on, but this will probably suit most people - I just really don't feel the cold. The door to the room was a sliding one, which rattled slightly at night, but an easy fix - just tuck a bit of folded paper in between the door and door frame - fixed! Finally, do bear in mind its a guesthouse, there will be people coming and going at all times from the property, and people may come back in the early hours (like myself) from northern lights tours, and may (unintentionally) be a bit noisy. Also other reviewers have mentioned the bathroom is busy in the mornings - well if so, there's another on the second floor, and a third toilet downstairs, and if that's really a problem do as another reviewer said - shower at night :-)

Pros: Got instant help from host. Good locatiom near bus stop.

Cons: Too hard to open entrance. Lucky got someone inside to open door.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, very basic but cheerful rooms, perfect for budget traveller

Cons: Not soundproof

Pros: The view of Hallgrímskirkja church outside the window is really nice. The location of the guesthouse is convenience, Bonus supermarket is nearby.

Cons: If you have heavy luggage, it may not suitable for you. Almost the rooms are on the upstairs and there’s no lift. Also, the guesthouse is located at the hillside. The ceiling lamp in room cannot be switched on, only the desk lamp and floor lamp can be used. There are no information about the WiFi passwords in the room , the public areas and the email from guesthouse. The soundproofing of the room is not good, you can hear others walking or even the snoring. Besides, I have requested a double room, but actually I have got a twin room.

Pros: Close to city , decent price for a guesthouse.

Cons: Little on the basic but well priced, we really only used to sleep and make breakfast .

Pros: Loki 101 Guesthouse provided a warm and cozy home during my somewhat short stay in Reykjavik. It has a large kitchen with plenty of storage space in the fridge and cupboards. Giving the high costs of eating out I found this a great way of saving some money while still eating the local foods and products. The place was overall clean, friendly hosts and the location is excellent for people who want to use the bus stop around the corner for pick-ups to excursions, but still easy walking distance to the city center. Also its right next to the Hallgrimskirkja, so wherever you are in the city, or when you just arrive at the bus terminal, the guesthouse is always easy to find.

Cons: The ground floor room doesn't have showers on the same level. The light in the room was a bit low, so easy to bump your head to it.
