Trust all the other reviews - this place is a true gem. Lovely staff, super cosy vibe and location couldn't be better as a base for exploring Reykjavik or indeed the neighbouring areas! We especially loved the deal they had with an amazing bakery around the corner, where Freyja guests received a discount. It meant we could take a slow morning with our buns, the free smoothie and coffee in the kitchen. Also the mattress is probably the comfiest I have ever slept on - have been looking to buy it for home! Overall this guest house is one of the best deals in the city!

    Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,602 reviews
    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!
