Offering a garden and garden view, Snorri's Guesthouse is set in Reykjavík, 2.5 km from Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach and 600 metres from Hallgrímskirkja Church. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation offers a public bath, free WiFi throughout the property and family rooms.

EVERYTHING! you can't beat the location, right in downtown Reykjavik but far enough so you don't get noise. The place is super clean and cozy, my room was pretty small but it didn't feel like it, I had to work from my computer that afternoon and I set up at the desk with a lovely view from the window. Breakfast is basic but good. I like that you can check-in by yourself. For some reason I didn't get the email with my pin code, but I called the number on the booking and they were SO nice and quickly sent me the info. I don't think you'll get a better stay for this price, it's worth every krona! I'll definitely stay here again when I return to Iceland.

    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.

    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!
