The room was smaller than what I expected, but there are common areas if you want to lounge in a more spacious area. Since I was on the go every day, the smallness wasn't much of an issue. The kitchen was fully equipped. Each floor's bathroom was furnished with soap, shampoo, and fresh towels daily. Staying warm was not a problem (I visited in early October): The bed was well made and the room was at a comfortable temperature, in fact it could get too warm, but I could remedy that by opening the window. I had a view of the famous Hallgrimskirkja. It was just one street over, which was extremely convenient as it is a major stop for tour companies and shuttle buses. It would take me just a little over five minutes to walk there. The neighborhood was a delight to walk around. I discovered a well-stocked grocery store close by too. This accommodation is self check-in and check-out. I only by chance met someone associated with the guesthouse (the proprietor?) when I first arrived. Otherwise, guests are on their own.

Will stay here every time we are in Reykjavik. Super convenient to everything, parking is easy and free nearby. They have free bikes you can use and super cozy sitting areas and well stocked kitchens. I cannot express my gratitude enough about how wonderful the owners treated us. They made us feel like dear friends and took such wonderful care of us. This place is a true and rare gem.

I loved everything about Freyja Guesthouse & Suites! The property is quiet, warm, and comfortable. You will easily feel right at home. It is a short walk from the central bus terminal as well as Hallgrimskirkja and surrounding shops. The family who runs the place is super friendly, trustworthy, and helpful. Next time I am in Reykjavik, I will be staying here again.

At the time of booking, it was mentioned in the description that there is free parking. My impression was there will be confirmed parking for my car. But the reality was that I had to search the free parking in nearby areas around the hotels. There was no parking being provided by the hotel. The description was misguiding. I end up wasting a lot of my time in search of the parking. Additionally, the bathroom was shared, which was not clear from the description at the time of booking. Nonetheless, the reception lady did her best to get me a parking, she really helped although she was a bit sick that day, and I am very thankful for her help. But my issue is the description of the oropis not precise and leads to unpleasant surprises and shocks l.

Highly recommend. We spent our last two days in Iceland here. This is a family owned guest house with owners on site most of the day and adjacent at night. They are so nice and fun to talk to. We loved our stay in a spacious 2nd floor king size bedroom with lots of light. Rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floor with a kitchen and bathroom on each floor and then an attic lounge with another small kitchen and full bathroom. We found it easy to access and use the shared bathrooms. The attic lounge has two nice tables. Free coffee/expresso machines and a large selection of teas on each floor and the host provided free orange smoothies for breakfast that were delicious. The Host also helped us find the free (on street) parking in this busy city right adjacent to the guest house. They have beautiful bikes for touring the town, but we just left the car parked and walked everywhere. This location is about a block away from the landmark Hallgrims Church, and all of the main city down to the wharves and docks is easily walk-able. Everything was super clean and nice. Thank you.

This place is adorable - clean, quaint, the staff is kind and helpful. It is the first time we have stayed at a place with shared bathrooms and we were not sure what that would be like, we envisioned something similar to a college dorm. Not at all! Each floor has its own bathroom and kitchen, it feels very home- like. The location is excellent for walking into town. Highly recommend!

Cozy and convenient in downtown Reykjavik!

Very cozy guesthouse, centrally located and excellent hosts! The guesthouse has 2 floors of private rooms, ours had two comfortable beds and enough room for our luggage. Bathrooms and kitchens on each floor, but I really enjoyed the upper floor lounge for relaxing and feeling quite at home! Nice touch with the complementary smoothie in the morning!

Comfy stay!

The room was comfortable if a bit small by American standards. I would have preferred better blackout curtains--the midnight sun was pretty bright. The location couldn't be better, up close to Hallgrimskirkja and our favorite restaurant, Cafe Loki. The hosts were friendly and the property was clean. One bathroom for five rooms....but there was always a chance the one upstairs would be free.
