Pros: Reception extremely friendly and helpful. Loved the little touches in the kitchen (i.e. Homemade cake and smoothies and coffee machine and selection of teas). The bathroom, considering it is a shared bathroom, was of the standard of a 4 star hotel - super clean with lovely amenities. The room was modern and spacious and could have comfortably stayed there for a week or so (we only stayed one night in Reykjavik). Location was great not to far from a pizzeria and only 0.5 miles from the city centre where there are lots of bars and restaurants.

Pros: Ingo and his parents were amazing hosts, super friendly and helped us research or book various trips. Ingo is a former Cordon Bleu culniary school graduate and makes great healthy smoothies for all guests. We felt like we were staying in our own apartment. The free use of the Specialized bikes were a extra bonus. We put 19 miles on the bikes. We didn't want to leave and had it not been for Hurricane Dorian hitting our home in Florida we would have stayed longer.

Which is short walk from the hotel. Breakfast is complimentary just next door beautiful cafe with seating an wifi you can actually get some work done.

Cons: Only (very, very small) point of improvement would be the ventilation in the bathroom. Due to the specific smell of Icelandic hot water, I had quite a hard time airing out the smell. Nonetheless, it did not cause significant trouble, as long as I did everything I needed in the bathroom BEFORE showering.

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.

Cons: There wasn't a mirror in the living area to style my hair with electric straighteners. No electric point where the fixed bathroom mirror was. Made grooming challenging! Walls a bit thin when next door was noisy at midnight so knocked on their wall as we were getting up 4.15am to fly home. They knocked back but silenced after that! The guest information requests quiet after 10 pm so not Proprietor's fault. No TV but were out a lot. Nothing major.

Pros: I stayed at the Reykjavik Rainbow for a week and it's been pretty good! Since I am a solo-traveller, I had a nice little room for myself, with a cute balcony. The room was small, but I had enough space to store all my stuff there. When i catched a little cold I was also comfortable to stay at the Rainbow and had a good rest. (The bed was really comfortable and the curtains are really effective) A Pharmacy, Supermarkets, Cafes, a Cash Withrdawel Machine etc. is all easy to find within walking distance of the guesthouse. No wonder, since it's located near the main shopping street in Reykjavik. I also had access to the kitchen, as well as the waching machine in the celler and everything worked perfectly! I dined out a lot, to get to know the icelandic cuisine, but when I used the kitchen, there was everyhting i needed. It also worked really well with the other people who stayed at the Rainbow, because everyone was really respectful and cleaned up after themselves. Additionally the woman who runs the Reykjavik Rainbow is really nice. She checked up on me and always responded really quick to questions I had and made sure everyone was comfortable at the Rainbow.

Pros: The room was great and just what I was looking for and expected. The bed was comfortable and warm. At the time I stayed there were no other guests checked into the upper floor so I had the shared bathroom to myself. The location of guesthouse is perfect; in the centre of town making it easy to venture to many attractions, great restaurants and shops on foot.

Pros: This is the second time I stayed at Reykjavík Rainbow and it was just as lovely as last time. Had a different room was very clean and comfortable. Location is great easy to get to local attractions, shops, bars & restaurants. Lovely place to stay, hopefully will be back again.
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.

Pros: I appreciate a room with a viewe - even small , with the blacony it was perfect for one person- little details one could add to the room - Nr 4 is white clear with much light- the kitcchen is well organized and everything one could need!
Cons: dirty windows ... too obvious - but only a detail

Pros: I stayed at the Reykjavik Rainbow for a week and it's been pretty good! Since I am a solo-traveller, I had a nice little room for myself, with a cute balcony. The room was small, but I had enough space to store all my stuff there. When i catched a little cold I was also comfortable to stay at the Rainbow and had a good rest. (The bed was really comfortable and the curtains are really effective) A Pharmacy, Supermarkets, Cafes, a Cash Withrdawel Machine etc. is all easy to find within walking distance of the guesthouse. No wonder, since it's located near the main shopping street in Reykjavik. I also had access to the kitchen, as well as the waching machine in the celler and everything worked perfectly! I dined out a lot, to get to know the icelandic cuisine, but when I used the kitchen, there was everyhting i needed. It also worked really well with the other people who stayed at the Rainbow, because everyone was really respectful and cleaned up after themselves. Additionally the woman who runs the Reykjavik Rainbow is really nice. She checked up on me and always responded really quick to questions I had and made sure everyone was comfortable at the Rainbow.
Cons: There isn't really something I didn't like about the Rainbow, but I still have some thoughts that might be interesting for other visitors. The Rainbow offers a private Check-In, which means that upon arriving at the Guesthouse you won't necesseraliy meet with someone of the staff. You just enter the code to get in the house, and then go to the room your staying in. Which is actually really uncomplicated, but can be confusing if you don't expect it to go like this. So if you're looking to have a lot of conversations with locals, you won't immediatly have the opportunity with this guesthouse. Still, you can always call the staff or write an e-mail if you have questions. Also I had some super fun conversations with other guests and within Reykjavik you'll have plenty of opportunities to chat with the locals. When I was staying at the Reykjavik it was never really fully booked, but I believe that if every room would have been booked out, it might have been harder to share the bathroom. Just bc there are only two bathrooms, which might not be enough, if a lot of people are staying there. But I never had problems.

The location of guesthouse is perfect; in the centre of town making it easy to venture to many attractions, great restaurants and shops on foot.
Cons: Finding the property was slightly challenging. I did initially walk past it a couple of times as there were no clear signs. Entry to the apartment was also a little confusing. Although instructions were provided it took me some time to figure out that I must press star at the end as this detail was omitted from the instruction and normally I go for the hash. Only small issues though!

Pros: Really nice Guesthouse, calm and super clean. The owners are friendly and the bed was comfy. The room also had a little balcony which was a plus. The kitchen has everything you need and is super clean as well.
Cons: I booked the same day so there was a bit of confusion, but it worked out in the end. The place can be a bit tricky to find, just watch closely. The house is a bit loud, but that's just Iceland architecture.

8.8 Excellent
Pros: Location is superb! Right near the street Laugavegur. I liked the self check in - everything was clear and simple. Rooms tidy and clean.
Cons: Walls were paper so if you are a very light sleeper then the place probably isn’t for you. I had no problems sleeping though :) Also when staying friday or saturday night, be prepared for noises coming from outside. Again, I had no problems sleeping :)
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We had a kitchenette to store drink and food (no breakfast was offered). The location was great. Easy to get to the main street downtown Reykjavik.
Cons: I'd say the only thing the four us did not like was how close the under window cabinet is to the toilet. The position of the cabinet makes it impossible to sit normal on the toilet. We had to sit at a slight angel which would sometimes make the toilet seat shift causing the bum to touch the cold porcelain.
7.9 Good
Pros: Clean and great location.
Cons: Very small common space and room so no place to hang out during bad weather. Upon entry I was advised it was an old house and the walls were thin. The other guests were courteous and quiet. However, my room was next to the bathroom and I could barely sleep between the noise of the bathroom door being closed and locked and then the flushing. Very tired guest.

Cons: We were not given WiFi password, and when we asked by text we did not get a response. There was nobody in “reception” either. Towels were available but crunchy and scratchy. For a couple, the bed was terrible: two twins pushed together with inadequate bedding. There were bugs in the bed, which disturbed both of our rest. Sheets were also scratchy and not comfortable. Kettle was nice to have, but wouldn’t fit in tap, needed to use the shower head which was messy. I would never stay again, not would I recommend.

Cons: For checking in there was a number on the door, not ideal if you don't have a mobile (or enough credit). The building is old and was not as clean as we had come to expect from Icelandic accommodation. The shower was not attached to the wall and had to be held
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Location is excellent if you are catching a bus from BSI. Right across the road. Room was clean and spacious. Bed and pillows were comfy. Has a vanity sink in the room which is excellent. The host who checked us in was friendly and knowledgeable.
Cons: You can't make a coffee or tea. The exterior of the place looks VERY unkempt and unloved. This does not give a very good first impression.
5.8 Okay
Pros: It was close to the BSI buss station and I needed to take the bus very early.
Cons: Holes in the sheet, no shields for the bed side lamps, really used bath mat and the very nice receptionist had to rum two receptions at the same time. Think it was quite stressful. Had to wait 20 minutes to check in because she was checking in guests in another place.
7.5 Good
Pros: The apartment is perfectly located - next to the park and 10 minutes by walk to city center. The room is quite big, beds are really comfortable. The kitchen is small but equipped. Free parking is guaranteed.
Cons: Apartment is located in the outhouse that is not especially beautifull. It is quite humid, in the bathroom there is a mold or something that looks like it. The bedding was not ironed.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Location near the bus station, comfortable room with storage, pleasant young man on reception
Cons: If there had been a kitchen I might have booked more nights.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Location was perfect,walk everywhere and the bus station across the road.
Cons: Strange smell in the bathroom.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Very convenient location to the bus terminal, but with beautiful surroundings (yard full of trees). Left extremely early (to check in for a 7:15 flight from KEF), so didn't sample the breakfast.
Cons:
Located in Reykjavik (Reykjavík 101), Travel Inn Guesthouse is within a 10-minute walk of National Museum of Iceland and Laugavegur. Free self parking is available onsite.

8.0 Excellent
Pros: Very comfortable bed, very good bathroom.
Cons: Location. You need to add 40 euros for a taxi to get to and from the inn. There is no other way to get there.
4.5 Okay
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.
