old but clean, we had the apar**ent in the basement, it stank but we were still happy to have gotten this apar**ent instead of a room with a shared bathroom, thanks Olga. Direct parking is only available for a fee (9 a.m. to 6 p.m., free after that), but there was always something free near the church (about a 5-minute walk).

The self-check in Grettir Guesthouse is located in the center of Reykjavik. Restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses, bars with live music, shops and places to see are near. There is no need to take a taxi. Once I reached the airport exit, I purchased round trip Flybus tickets. Stop number 8 was the closest to the guest house, about a five minute walk. I used Google maps to find the location. The green door to self enter the guest house by pressing a code is found on a narrow walkway between two streets. The entrance, next to a second hand clothing store is easier to find.

Nice and cute place in the heart of Reykjavik. Music festival next door was loud but more loud were the Icelanders who stayed in a room below us for that reason overall rating just ok.

Hotel well located, in the center of Reykjavik, but a bit difficult to find (the entrance is in a bit of an ugly alley).
On the negative side, all parking in the surrounding area is paid and, according to Spanish standards, the price seems excessive for what is offered (room with shared bathroom).

This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed at. First of all, the listing is deceptive : the listing doesn’t specify that the bathroom is shared when it is. We specifically didn’t book somewhere else because we wanted a private bathroom.
Second, the window to the room opens into a parking lot, so there is constant noise, including at 2-3am when drunk revelers are coming to get to their cars and are talking loudly.
Third, the kind of people who stay at this property are young folks who are generally loud. There were three people staying in one of the rooms who came home drunk at 3am and woke up the whole house from sleep. These people tried to start a fight with another resident (from upstairs) when some of us asked them to keep quiet, and we were afraid of our physical safety at one point.
Finally, I tried to contact the property manager MULTIPLE times during my stay (over email and over phone) and there are simply no reply from anyone.

Very clean bedsheets, small room, location in the heart of the city. Each room too closely to eachother, I don't know how would be fully booked by guests..
Like the most of guesthouses in Reykjavik, just to spend the night and leave the next morning.

Fine, centrally located, suitable if you're busy out so it's okay as a bed set.

The entrance to the guesthouse is down an alley. check in was simple. The space is quaint and cozy. has a very intense echo but was clean and comfortable.
