Guesthouse Sunna, hotel in Reykjavík

Located in Reykjavik’s old city center, this family-run property is across the street from Hallgrim’s Church. It offers a communal kitchen, as well as modern and fresh rooms with wooden furnishings.

The location, for us, couldn't have been better. You could see Hallgrimskirkja cathedral from our rooms. There are restaurants and even a little grocery store in less than a 5 min walk. The section of the Rainbow Road is less than 10 minutes away. The staff was kind and helpful. Good breakfast options. The entire guesthouse was very clean and well maintained. Having parking on the property was huge. We would definitely stay here again on future visits to Reykjavik.

Grótta Northern Lights - Apartment & Rooms, hotel in Reykjavík

Grótta Northern Lights - Apartment & Rooms provides beachfront accommodations in Reykjavík.

The place was very quiet and cute decorated, You have fully equipped and cozy kitchen. You can have some coffee, tea, cereal, etc. Every room has different name on the door, with very cute keys by the way. The staff is very kind and can help you whenever you need. They invited us to a complimentary breakfast in the main property Blue House B&B - Icelandic pancakes and coffee. They also inform you if the sky is clear, and where you can catch the Aurora - next to the property 2min up the hill or on Grotta lighthouse 25 min walking. RECOMMEND Iceland is amazing. 🇮🇸❤️

Ubak Guesthouse, hotel in Reykjavík

Featuring garden views, Ubak Guesthouse in Reykjavík features accommodations, a garden, and a shared lounge. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge.

It was a lovely, cozy apartment cum guesthouse located near the Mjodd bus stop in Reykjavík, Iceland. The owner provided a kitchen facility, but we were unaware of it. A self-check-in option was there, and detailed instruction was written on an instruction paper. A Netto supermarket (Google could not identify Netto as a supermarket) was next to the bus stop, and a couple of restaurants and shops were also there. The house is located ~9 km away from the city center. Visitors should keep in mind that public transport is frequently unavailable on Sundays.

Audur Guesthouse, hotel in Reykjavík

Audur Guesthouse offers accommodations in Reykjavík, 1.4 miles from Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach and 29 miles from Blue Lagoon.

I was most nervous to have a shared bathroom but it was super clean! The rooms come with sinks to help ease the burden of the shared bathroom as well. My room was facing a main road so there was a bit of noise from passing traffic but I didn't mind it. Very cosy lighting and kept comfortably warm even in December. The location is really excellent, 10-15 minute walk to the main bus terminal, the Hallgrimskirkja church (bus stop #8), and bus stop #12 for tour pickups.

The breakfast was awesome and the property was very homely and comfortable. We were welcomed so warmly, even though our arrival was a little late and check in was super easy. There is a bus stop a couple of minutes walk away which made it very easy to explore Reykjavik from. Having not seen a lot of snow, we loved our view of the yard too

    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!
