Mixed Feelings About this Place
convenient locationmildew on doorinadequate heating
The location was really convenient. It was close to everything I needed.
The room was a bit of a letdown. There was visible mildew on the door and windows. a noticeable smell. Heating was inadequate, and the windows seemed drafty and old. I expect a bit more when I travel.

charming stay near the church
welcome lettericelandic traditionfree parkingblackout curtains absence
The check-in process was quite simple. a welcome letter and clear instructions about expectations were provided. i particularly enjoyed the icelandic tradition of providing slippers and requesting shoe removal inside. the location was wonderful. I could walk to many places. the bus stop for airport transfers was only a few minutes away. free parking was also available on weekends right in front.
the absence of blackout curtains in the room was a minor inconvenience. i found it a little difficult to sleep well with the early morning light.

while there wasn't a dedicated restaurant, the free coffee. tea, and hot chocolate were a good bonus. the access to a fully equipped kitchen provided flexibility for preparing my own meals.

Charming Stay in Convenient Location
clean kitchencentral locationpretty roomnice staff
The shared kitchen was quite clean and well-equipped, I noticed. I also appreciated how close it was to key sites, like the cathedral serving as a handy visible guide, I think! The room felt pretty, and it, I can say that. The staff was quite nice and helpful, and I definitely felt comfortable.
The pillows were rather thin, I am not gonna lie.

The guesthouse features a shared kitchen to prepare meals. The kitchen includes all necessary appliances, I noticed. This setup supports convenient on-site dining. Dining space is ample, I can say.
Location
10/10
The guesthouse location allows for easy access to many attractions. Tour van access is easy, I could see. Restaurants and museums are also within walking distance. The location is quite central, in my opinion.
Facilities

The shared bathrooms provide a hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. These extras are quite useful. The parking is FREE, a HUGE plus! The guesthouse is well-equipped overall, I think. The room had everything I needed, personally.
Service
9/10
Messages prior to arrival were particularly helpful, I acknowledge. Staff members seem ready to help at any moment. They provided us with lots of information about the surrounding area, that's for sure. The hosts were friendly, I think.

Adequate Accommodation
welcome lettereasy locationshower cubicledouble room
The check-in process was easy. A personal welcome letter explained where to find our room and gave other tips about the house. THE location is excellent, an easy walking distance from the center.
My room had a shower cubicle in the bedroom, right at the end of the bed. I felt the accommodation was overrated.

great locationconvenient parkingcomfortable bedsmall roomhigh priceensuite conversion
the guesthouse is in a great location. i was able to walk everywhere i wanted to visit in the city. free parking at the church was very convenient, which helped a lot. the bed in my room was really comfortable too.
the room was small for the price i paid. it was like a shed converted into an ensuite room. i found the size quite disappointing. i wasn't expecting it to be so small.
