It was nice.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The property is clean and just a short walk to the bus terminal and downtown Reykjavik. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Decent place for a nights stay. Room was spacious for a solo traveler, like I was. The shower room wasn't the cleanest but also not disgusting. Some metal road fell off from the top of the shower (I think it's where you hang clothes/towel to dry) and smacked me right on top of the head. Decent stay for a night. If I couldn't find another place then I would stay here again.

I chose the guesthouse as a budget option. The welcome from the owner and staff was very friendly, the owner speaks fluent English and is extremely hospitable. It was great having such a well equipped kitchen and dining area, and it really made a difference to be able to have my breakfasts and occasional supper from my own groceries as well as being convenient when I got back late from an all-day bus tour. The common areas and toilets are kept clean. The guesthouse is an easy 10 minute walk with a suitcase from the main BSI bus terminal. To walk up to the big church Hallgrímskirkja is about 10 minutes, and the nearest supermarket that I found is just in front of the church on the shopping street. From there it is an easy 10 minute walk into the centre. Despite what it said on Expedia, there is no TV in the room. There is a TV in the dining room but I didn't use it. I was satisfied with my stay here - my only criticism would be that the towels and bedlinens are extremely tired, actually threadbare, and the pillow was also very lumpy and ancient so you might want to bring your own pillow.

Instructions for checking in was pretty clear although i did struggle a little with the actual key for my room just because i was unfamiliar with that type

Clean, nice rooms at a good price. The outside photo makes it look a bit grim, but the place & the area are lovely. Easily walkable into the town centre. Bus from airport stops almost right outside!!

I had an excellent experience staying here. I came at an odd hour and they were easy to reach and allowed me to leave all of my luggage on the premises while I went out for the day. My room was comfortable and clean; what you’d expect from this price point. The shared bathroom and kitchen area were fine though other guests were sometimes untidy. I ate breakfast the first morning and then went up for a morning cup of tea the second day so I could be around lots of people. They were very kind and helpful. I’m moving to the area for a while and they offered advice and some assistance even after I would leave! I’d recommend this place again and might have my family stay here in the future.

The apartment is small and outdated but it was clean and served the purpose of one night. It was an easy 20 min walk to downtown.

I had the room closest to the front door, on the street side. It is a busy street, so there was a constant noise of traffic. Also, the doors of the rooms close with a loud bang.
The only shared bathroom on my floor was constantly locked, with no noise coming from inside, so I'm assuming it was out of commission. The bathroom I tried in de basement was old and beaten and in need of fixing up. The knob for selecting temperature was stuck on hot and the only space for placing clothes was a questionable set of unfinished wooden shelving.
The mattresses were not the best, the linnens were tattered and stained and the pillow provided little support and was extremely lumpy.
During my stay, I had no interaction with any staff (never encountered anyone), so can't speak to their level of service. Also did not see the kitchen, so no information on that either.
The rooms require a passcode and without providing any details here, I would consider the method of distribution of those codes insecure. I would suggest changing that to a more personal approach.

I chose this accommodation mainly becoz of its short distance to the BSI Bus Terminal. The room does not locate at their described building but within 2-3mins walk towards the actual location. Staff gave me clear direction on where to go tho, that was very good. The room is comparatively spacious. The shared bathroom is very tidy. Just hope there’s coffee supply and more newer cooking utensils in the shared kitchen.

Sheets were like sandpaper, bathroom was flooded and everything smelled of rancid mold. Pictures shown online do not represent every room in this dump. I had room 501 and it took me an hour to find it after instructions at the address let me into a house that did not have my room. The basement room in an old rundown house down another street and around the block was what they call the “annex”
I did not use the shower because it flooded into the whole room and the floor was a swamp. Did not sleep because it was on a busy street with buses and cars zooming by at all hours. I felt like I was sleeping g in the street.
Terrible experience

There was some confusion at first because the room booked is located in a different building and the alternative room assigned has been occupied by another group. The instruction email somehow has gone to an email address that is different from the email used to book the stay. Once all these confusions were sorted out, it was all good. The room is clean and the common area has cooking area that suits the need well Thanks to the owner for all the help in the last night in Iceland.

Despite small common areas, the guesthouse is cozy and you can socialize with other travellers during breakfast or snack time. It helps that rooms have sinks, otherwise the wait for shared bathrooms could be a bit long. It's not the most centrally located, but still walking distance to a couple of museums and a swimming pool.

I am now a fan of guesthouses. It was a very informal stay. I don’t like to share bathrooms but it really was not a big deal. Magdalena was great!
