Saw the aurora borealis while in the apartment! The area is quiet. Owners are responsive if there are concerns. Easy check in and out.

    The accomodation was clean and the location is really perfect, the BSÍ bus terminal was close by, it's a walking distance to the city centre, plus there are a bunch of day trips where a bus will pick you up directly from the hostel. The rooms, beds and bedding were simple but quite comfortable and clean. There are a lot of bathrooms on every floor so even with the hostel almost full, I never waited too long for one. The kitchenette has everything you need to make a quick. For such a cheap price, this is really an amazing place to stay.

    Modern design, everything is very new (in 2023). Toilet and shower room are seperated, love it~ Great location, quiet and very close to the city center. All the facilities exceeded my expectation. Just a reminder that all door locks can be opened by your room code.

    Baron's Hostel is cheap, super clean, with very confortable beds. Dormitories are small, thus quiet. The hosts are charming and very helpful. The location is excellent, close to city centre and BSI. There's an excellent swimming pool just accross the street, with hot pots to relax after a busy day. I could'nt wish for a better place to stay in Reykjavik.

There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants closeby, Flybus service provides transportation from the airport right next to the Guesthouse.

    Staff are very pleasant and helpful, and the hostess is lovely. Building is very quaint and the location is superb, the city center and closest pool being in walking distance from the hotel. The planes flying in to Reykjavík City Airport above the hotel were noisy, but I still enjoyed them, and luckily the last flight always was in the evening and not until the late morning the next day. Breakfast was homely and simple, which I appreciated since I chose Baldursbrá for a simple experience. The flatkökur were excellent.

    The Phoenix Hotel is a charming surprise in Reykjavik. It is close to the sights of the city centre, and offers very quiet rooms that are tastefully decorated. The included breakfasts are superbly done. The owners are extremely friendly hosts who took great care of us and provided lots of information about the sites of Reykjavik. This was the perfect place to stay while in Reykjavik!
