    A very nice, helpful and friendly host. Location was quiet as I wanted, so a big plus for that. Location is close to the city center but some how not in a crowded area.

    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.

    A great location in central Reykjavik. Easy waking to main attractions and a great base to explore further afield. Comfortable, quiet and warm apartment with cheap parking options (if onsite parking is full). Correspondence with the hosts was very efficient.

    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.

    Great location, relatively close to BSÍ and the city center. (10min walks) Quiet room with nice garden view. All of my requests were met and communication was great with the guesthouse. For this pricepoint, I'd recommend it.

    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!
