The cozy atmosphere, complemented by welcoming pets, made us feel right at home. A short walk took us to charming local spots, and our host provided invaluable tips for exploring. Don't miss this experience!

    family-friendly location
    cozy apartment
    limited seating

    We enjoyed our stay in a cozy one-bedroom apartment with my two young kids. The kids loved the nearby parks and it was perfect for family outings. The location was an easy walk to many attractions, which made our trip hassle-free!

    My kids wished for a few more play areas nearby. For families, it would be great to have more seating in the common areas, especially when returning from excursions.

    clean room
    unexpected amenities
    sulfur water

    We had a lovely time with a clean and comfortable room that had unexpected perks like a mini fridge and safe. The garden area was perfect for relaxing with cozy seating and a beautiful view. Just a heads up, the sulfur water takes a bit to get used to, but it's fine to drink! 🌿

    convenient location
    friendly landlady
    missing kitchenette
    no milk
    last night cleanliness issue

    The convenient location made it easy to reach the city center within a short walk. The room was warm and tidy, with daily cleaning and towel replacements, contributing to a comfortable atmosphere. The friendly landlady provided support when needed, creating a home-like environment. Though I had expected a room with a kitchenette, the private bathroom was well-maintained, and a fridge was available. Some kitchenware was provided, but I recommend bringing milk for your coffee since it wasn't supplied.

    high standard
    convenient location

    Just an ideal choice for a flash stay in Reykjavik with reasonable price. The under-floor heating in the bathroom was a nice touch during our stay. Try to grab a room with better ventilation if possible.
