Center of city, close to everything, 5 minutes from downtown, close bus station which allowed really handy pickups to tours and excursions when the weather was rough, the shared bathroom ain't that bad considering there are 1 on each floor and depends on the people staying there how long they take,which is not long, really helpful staff which aided me in every request, if I ever visit Iceland again definitely will stay there again

We absolutely loved our stay at Guesthouse Sunna- it was in the most perfect location and we were very lucky to have a room with a view of the Hallsgrim's church and Einar Johnsson museum and a balcony. The room was super cosy and comfy and level of cleanliness was exceptional + staff were very diligent in housekeeping everyday. Bonus to have the kitchen facilities and places to sit and eat and cook, make tea etc. We will definitely recommend and hope to come back again.

I have no complaints, the location is very convenient and access to the building was very easily done by yourself on arrival (electronic code and keys inside). The room was exactly what I needed for my stay and most vitally for Iceland was very warm. The pictures I've added are to help with finding the place, aim for the left of the EVA store under the number 28 on the left, it's just past the entrance to the Ion Hotel (maybe 10-20 metres) you'll pass in the alley and just climb the stairs carefully and slowly in they're iced over. The EVA store might be hard to see until you're right in front of it, so I've also added pictures of a couple of distinct buildings on the other side of the street which if you see them, you're with a few metres of where you need to be. The last picture is actually of the keys from my next stay in Canada which look uncannily like the tag for the ones for my stay here and I've done here what I should have done the entire time in Iceland which was tie my AirTag all if the time. Make sure you know what to do if you lose your keys and lock yourself out on your last day in advance as well as actually notice the phone and have the number on hand unlike me which is completely my own fault. I can't say enough nice things about my stay and the staff completely via phone and email helped me out of that jam of my own making. Would definitely stay again if they're available and they'll have me back!
