Pros: This property was perfect for what we needed! Great location, friendly and helpful staff, all the utensils you need and the comfiest of beds and pillows! We went in the winter months and loved coming back to our cosy studio after a long day of exploring! This place is exactly what you need for your Icelandic adventure.

Pros: Loved the little touches - the smoothies, amenities, nice bathroom products. Bed was very comfortable. Can’t beat the location. Easy check-in. I’ve stayed at 3 other properties in town and this has been my favorite. I will definitely come back to stay here!

Pros: Absolutely everything! First of all, the hosts were super friendly and helpful - they kindly let to keep the luggage after checking out. Also, due to the early work assignments, I couldn’t make to the breakfast from 8 am but this was easily solved by getting breakfast to the fridge in advance. However, I wouldn’t like to miss an opportunity to enjoy breakfast at the actual place - Reykjavik roasters who had a great menu & coffee! Even more, every morning, the surprise smoothie and cake is served at the guesthouse. The house interior creates a comfortable environment that relaxes after the intensive days. Everything is very clean. It’s exceeded expectations. I would recommend staying both for the leisure and work trips.

Pros: Really friendly hostess who greeted us! Exceptionally clean and tidy, great facilities Netflix! Really comfy room About a 15-20 min drive from city centre.
Cons: Nothing not to like! It was for a brief moment a little confusing at first about where we were going when checking in- it is in a residential area. The address is to the house above the guesthouse, where you meet the hostess after organising an estimated arrival time. She then takes you down to the guesthouse - easy once you know ! :)
7.1 Good
Pros: Friendly host who received us at the door and show us how the place was. Made us feel a home which is great given it is the last nite at Iceland. Kitchen was great with all the necessary items that one will need.
Cons: Dislike the less than obvious entrance to the building. Had to walk down the steps with our bags - perhaps as it is the last nite in Iceland, that was really a hazzle having to lug our bags when we didnt have to in almost all the previous stays in Iceland Also construction around the area so didnt feel quite so safe.

Location was good for us who had landed late and progressing on the golden circle the following day. Would certainly stay here again.
Cons: Just being a little bit picky, whilst there was a kitchenette there were only chairs and no table to sit at other than a small side table in the room. This certainly would not put us off staying again though!

Pros: The guesthouse was super close to Hallgrimskirkja and bus stop 8 which made travel from the airport and pick up from our tour extremely easy. Janek and Edda were very accommodating. Janek was very helpful and gave us very detailed instructions upon checkin because our flight came in late. Breakfast was very good and you meet several travelers during different parts of their stay in Reykjavik. All in all a fantastic stay.

Pros: I like how it was easy when we arrived - no need to check in, the key to our room was just in the foyer waiting for us, there are slippers and a shoe horn at the shoe rack and the room is ready. Similarly, we just left the room key and went out of the house when it was time to leave - so easy! They keep the place clean quietly :) The bathroom floor got wet a little after I showered and when it was my husband's turn to use the bathroom, the floor towel is no longer wet! So they changed the towel in between. We were lucky that there was no queue in the shared bathroom whenever we needed to use it and the other guests (if any) were quiet. Best thing about the place is its LOCATION. I chose it mainly because a bus stop is just outside it (stop 2) but it turned out, it is really at the heart of Reykjavik!!! We went around the city by foot from the guesthouse. Location and comfort - the guesthouse topped these criteria. While we were there just for a night, we checked the common kitchen and you get a space in the fridge :) so I will definitely book this again when we come back in Reykjavic, not just for a night but longer this time!!!

Pros: We loved the location of this guesthouse; only 5 minutes walk from the centre but on a quiet road, away from the chaos at the weekends. There's even a little convenience store just round the corner where you can buy groceries. The studio we stayed in was practical and cosy, and the owner was very friendly indeed. We had a very good stay!

Pros: The owner is really a first class, helpful guy. The location is great and this place perfectly suited my needs. Great value. You have to know what you are getting into, though. If you're not familiar, the guesthouse format is essentially a self-serve B&B. It's secure and clean and well maintained but the owner is only there for a few hours a day. If you're self-guided and don't need hand-and-foot service, it's really perfect.

3.6 Mediocre
Cons: 1. The pictures of the place on your website were not taken in the "Flying Viking Guest House"! (I can email you pictures I have taken of the Guest House to document this claim) 2. During my stay, I never met the person who runs the Guest house nor any other persons/staff working there!!

Cons: The water in the bathroom had a pretty bad smell and taste, definitely not drinkable, although the water in the kitchen was fine. Also it may be noisy in the evening but that's to be expected because the guesthouse is on the corner of the street parallel to the main shopping and restaurant street Laugavegur.

Cons:
5.7 Okay
Pros: close to downtown
Cons: This is a guest house located within walking distance of all of the downtown nightlife as you can hear through the thin walls till around 0100. Coupled with the construction that started at 0700 proved minimal sleep for us. There is no parking close by and when the owner mistakenly told me it was ok to park on the street after 9 pm, I came back to a text and ticket on my rental car saying he'd read my text wrong. Had i known all of this prior to booking , I'd have picked another location to stay.
7.9 Good
Pros: easy check in with password . everything self management . no staff there. location is very nice.
Cons: careful when u booking this hotel and try to free cancelled . they will charge u and forgot to refund the money. it take me long time to escalate to booking.com to get my money back. terrible experience . I have to proof when did they charge to me and several months without refund it.
7.5 Good
Pros: Clean room Clean bathroom
Cons: No plug in the toilet on the 2nd floor. (So I have to use the hair drying at my room) Not sound-proofed. It’s quite loud every time I use the key to open the door. A larger sign for the guesthouse is needed. It took me sometime to find the location. And the location at google map has to be updated. Google says the guesthouse is at the lobster house downhill.
7.5 Good
Pros: very clean.
Cons: Was disappointed that there was no common area to meet other travellers. Never saw any staff. For those non-Icelandic speakers, it would be helpful to know the "th" is written as a sort of "p" in Icelandic. I had a hard time finding the place because I couldn't find the cross street on a map.

Pros: Great place to stay - spacious and sound facilities in the ground floor flat. Comfortable bed all clean and a lovely hot spacious shower ... after activities all day, this works wonders. We travelled from bus stop 14 so easy to get to and all trips and fly bus stops/goes from there. Not far to walk with luggage or after a long late night!

Cons: It is located behind a bar and at night (late) you will hear them taking out bottles and bins, the dustmen are also noisy ... but we were so busy with trips that it was not too much of a problem. But it does wake you up in the morning.

4.6 Okay
Pros:
Cons: I was so disappointed, I dont like to write bad reviews I really dont. However, I spent 2 nights here in total and lucky if I averaged 4 hours sleep the walls are paper thin, if you're in the room next to the toilet you get it from the toilet, the rooms next to you and the rooms above you. You can hear ever pace, footstep, laugh or cry, you hear it all. The doors make a horrendously loud noise and the instructions to keep it quiet between certain times are written on a tiny piece of a4 paper on the wall. Clearly people didnt read it as everytime I'd start to drift off I'd hear a door slammed or a suitcase being moved above or aside me. I stayed at the start of my time here before a photo tour and then at the end of it before flying home. Both mornings I "woke up" with black bags under my eyes and shear anger from lack of sleep. The place is nice enough, and situated conveniently, but the lack of sleep nearly ruined my trip and left me feeling sad and angry.

Pros: Breakfast at Aurora Guest House is abundant with food and sweets: jams and jams. a rich selection of black and white bread. The choice is varied: cheese, ham, sausage, sweets. coffee is very good, tea is all day and free. A truly unique case in Iceland. Aurora Guest House is in a prime location in the very center of the Old Town. At 200m there is stop No.8, where there is a stop for all departures. Right next to the hotel. The hotel is warm and good. The helpful staff - boyfriend and girlfriend - treats clients well, answers any questions they have, helps them to choose tourist routes, orders airport transfer. Luggage can be left free of charge after check-out. Just outside is the Ringing Church, the oldest swimming pool in Reykjavik, right next to the bus station and the main shopping street. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances who travel to Reykjavik. About 1.2 km away is Perlan, a beautiful Reykjavik tourist attraction. A great planetarium with an exciting science fiction film on the northern lights, a great introduction to the ice cave, and a wonderful space for interactive educational space. The emphasis is that we humans need to protect our land from plastic pollution.

Pros: Clean room. Great location! Hot coffee on all the time.
Cons: Very unclean bathroom. Smelled like urine the whole stay until it was cleaned the morning before I left! The younger staff members were stiff and cold. They didnt seem to like their job and seemed rushed. It was very uncomfortable. Our unit was out of toilet paper. When I mentioned it to the young female staff member, she seemed annoyed and stressed that she had to go remedy the problem. It took 24 hours to receive the toilet paper! The older gentleman was kind and understanding. He let me check in early and eat breakfast. That was appreciated! Not enough kitchen tools to properly cook with, but, I made it work. Room was clean and perfect for what I needed.

Pros: The bed was comfortable.
Cons: The walls were so thin, you could hear everything in the room next to you. Taking a shower was a joke as it went from freezing cold to scalding hot when anyone in the building used the water. Didn't care for the location, which was in an industrial area.
