Comfy room with everything you need. Nice lounge area on the top floor with excellent and free coffee choices and snacks available for purchase to enrich your coffee. Free smoothy every day was fantastic add. L'Occitane products in the bathroom made me feel pampered and taken care of (unlike cheapest options you get in other stays). Location could not have been better - I saw fhe main church from out of my window! The area was safe to walk around at night and I was able to find free parking nearby so don't be scared that there is street parking. Free and very healthy(!) breakfast options in a next door cafe were wonderful. The cherry on top was wonderful host - such a friendly, welcoming, polite, smiling, helpful host, thank you so much, sir! I loved my stay in this guesthouse the most out of all stays on my trip to Iceland. Well worth the money.

It has been my "layover" between two flights. Because domestic airport is located close to center of Reykjavik, I choosed the Red guesthouse which is licated in-between downtown (10 minutes walk) and BSI - cental bus hub (10 minutes walk). Before even booking, I was attracted by friendly description with many small, but quite important details. Reality was above my expectations... Extremely clean and cozy, quite old (I believe) authentic icelandik house which remembers many inhabitants, their happy and sad days, love stories and laugh of kids. There are many pictures on the walls, some of them are real oil on canva pices of art, some are introducing modern (NOT conteporary! :)) art. Every corner, every little shelf is well designed and "on a right place". Kitchen is well equipped - possible to accomplish quite complicated receipts. Eric is a very positive and friendly person, easy available and helpful by phone. A few another customers were smiling and friendly - seems that interior and atmosphere of this house affects people in a good way. My only regret is that I spent only one night there and didn't have enough time to really enjoy this place. I'm already looking forward my next trip to Reykjavik. Thank you very much Eric! You and your staff are great! Eugene Snezhkin Nóvember 14, 2024

The property is located within an easy walk to downtown, the Host is friendly and helpful and the rooms were exceptionally clean with good quality linens. We stayed two separate nights and although the one room was quite small, it had all the amenities we needed.

We had a very clean and beautiful room, the hosts were super helpful and responsive at all times. Amazing fresh breakfast, the only thing that may need improvement is the breakfast bread was burned on the bottom every day we got breakfast. Other than that we had a blast!

Brilliant use of a small space with lots of smart ideas. Particularly impressed by the wall coffee/tea/kitchenette station and the storage under the bed. Bed was very comfortable, not much motion transfer from person sleeping next to me.

I like the private studio so much, with little windows on the top which you could see the northern light through it!

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!

    Very good price for a single room in Reykjavik, was even cheaper than dorm-beds in some hostels! Good location, only a few minutes walk to city center. Supermarket next door, still the street itself is rather quiet. Very clean and also has basic equipment for cooking.

    Plenty of toilets (4) and showers (3), kind hosts who were eager to help with small favours, tasty smörgåsbord breakfast, quiet rooms, classic Reykjavík home guesthouse! Easy access to city center by short walk.

    Access to the guesthouse is by email instructions which were clear and helpful. This is one of the cheapest hotels available at the moment in Reykjavik but the room was clean and bright. Wifi was good, shared bathroom also clean - if rather small - and the staff helpful. Bed was basic but comfortable and I slept well. The hotel is in a good location near to the city centre but in a quiet area.
