Downtown Reykjavik, 1.1 km from National Museum of Iceland

"The location is good, but the listing did not clearly mention that this unit is a room in the basement with a shared common area and shared bathroom (there seem to be other options in the guesthouse that are not in the basement). The bathroom door also made a loud squeaky noise, which was not ideal for a shared unit, and the bedsheets seemed a bit worn or not fully clean. That said, the staff communication was friendly, and we appreciate them hosting us."

Exeter Hotel

"Great location. Great Breakfast. Helpful Staff. Nice outdoor spaces and sauna."

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

8/10 Good

"We stayed twice. The first room was too hot and a staff member had to come up to turn off the thermostat. Unfortunately we still needed a large room fan in order to sleep. The second room was better and had been refurbished. Really nice staff, excellent location and view, but hotel maintenance and quality just mediocre"
