The hotel is located right next to the church in Reykjavik, just about a three-minute walk away, which was a pleasant surprise. The suite was spacious enough to accommodate the three of us. Overall, it was a great stay!

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
