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!

Loveliest guest house run by a very sweet family. Great facilities & excelent service. Good quality bed, nice decorated room, all you need in a kitchen, free nespresso, smart tv, warm clean bathroom, with luxury (L’occitane) bathroom supplies. Everything was organized and very clean. You feel special noticing how the owners have so much attention to detail. They even offer guests free smoothies. The location is super central, close to a tourist bus stop, but in a calm street. Ah, and there’s such a nice lounge and rooftop! I highly recommend this place :-)

Staff was so nice and the facilities were great to have and use! Smoothies were a nice add. The rooms were perfect temperature and bathrooms at every floor were great and I didn’t have to wait to use. Viewing lounge on top floor was best add to have a second place to spend time. Great location within walking distance of food and shops and pick up stops for tours! Would stay again! Breakfast next door was very yummy and baristas were nice

Bathroom cleanliness gets worse throughout the day, as expected after more people use. Would do morning baths to avoid. Free parking can be unclear if you’re new to the city and might require a few rounds. Overall easy to find!

The owners were so friendly and helpful, they gave us a lift to the car rental place and had many suggestions for sightseeing. There is free parking space in front of the house. The owners made a smoothie every day, which was ready in the fridge every morning. And the breakfast in de café next door (if included in your price), was very good. It was also possible to get a breakfast to go, if you are planning some trips early in the morning. There are cooking facilities, and there is free tea and coffee at all time. The busstop is a 2 minute walk. This is also a pick up place when booking tours. The BSI Bus terminal, e.g. for airport transport is a 7 minute walk. De location of the place is very convenient and close to the the Laugavegur. We had some trouble with the fire alarm which went of a few times during the middle of the night, and some problems with the wifi at the beginning. It was very easy to contact the owners about this, and they did everything to solve the problem as soon as possible. Really appreciated! When going back to Iceland we would definitely stay here again.

The only thing (but very small thing), was that there are no closets in the room, there are a few clothes hangers but not enough. If you visit iceland in the winter it's nice to have some more space for your winterclothes.

Great stay, really comfortable rooms, fantastic location. Rooms perfectly warm and cosy with thermostat controlled radiator. Kitchen brilliantly resourced, everything you could need. A kitchen and a bathroom on each of the two floors plus another of each on the third floor where there's a communal lounge. Kind, helpful owners who looked after our luggage after checkout as well as letting us take our towels swimming the same afternoon. Easy to use key box for check in if arriving after 6pm.

There are 5 rooms on each floor all close together around shared kitchen and bathroom so could have potentially been busy or noisy, however this was not the case. Never had to wait for bathroom or kitchen and could have used one on another floor if needed.

We had a WONDERFUL stay here! We had a chance to talk to the owners and we really enjoyed their friendliness. Our room was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed. Next summer we hope to stay at their place again!0

I really enjoyed my stay at Freyjas Guesthouse! The room was a bit small, but the location (central but quiet) and the full view to Hallgrímskirkja made up for it, and if you need more space to work, you can always use the common rooms. The guesthouse itself is very cosy, with a well-equipped kitchen with coffee, a great selection of tea and a freshly made smoothie every day. The shared bathrooms were super clean and stocked with L'Occitane products for guests. The walls are quite thin and so you can hear when other guests are in the kitchen for example, but during my stay everyone was very considerate and I didn't feel disturbed at all. I also liked that there is a small reception right next door with very nice and helpful staff. For my next visit to Reykjavík I will definitely book there again. Takk fyrir!

What a quaint guesthouse. We stayed in room 103 on the first floor with a queen bed, which was very comfortable. The WC was right next to our room. The kitchen was 2 rooms down the hall. In the kitchen, you will find a smoothie assigned to your room every morning. They offer cake as a snack. This guesthouse consists of 3 floors, with the 3rd floor being set up as a game room/observatory room that has 4 windows that open upward. They offer snacks, coffee, and tea on an honor system in this room. Their staff was super helpful. Quick check in very quickly. They held our luggage while we explored the city. My luggage was delayed; they offered to be on the lookout for it and place it in our room while we were on our tour. Our room was very clean. I twisted my ankle on an excursion. We contacted the office in the morning about how to go about getting medical help. Again, they held our luggage while the owner himself gave me a ride to the nearest hospital. This guesthouse is located very close to Bus Stop 8, which is one of the Bus Stops for the Flybus that can bring you from the airport to the hotel. It is also very close to downtown Reykjavik. There you can find many restaurants, bars and shops. Freyja is a guesthouse, not a hotel. You will share a bathroom with other guests on the same floor. The 2nd floor has its own bathroom. We were very contend and happy with our stay at Freyja and when we can return to Reykjavik, Iceland Freyja will be our home away from home.

Comfy, clean . My home-away-from twice. I’ll book another stay again on next trip US-Europe. Owners are the managers and care about the details -such as the homemade fruit smoothies in the fridge. Unbeatable location in a real neighborhood on lovey tree-lined street — historic melodious bells peal softly - grand iconic cathedral is steps away from guesthouse’s backyard and the illumination of the stained glass is unforgettable. Short stroll to best shopping street with authentic handmade pottery, hand knit Icelandic hats, gloves, sweaters created to last a lifetime or more. Fabulous jewelry! Bookstore with Icelandic authors photographers & excellent coffee. Love the whole thing!

I liked everything!!!!!

When my husband and me came here, we had a vibe like we visiting a friend. Owner is super nice and the house was cosy and you find everything that you need. Host gave us a book which contained discount to Loki cafe and to an amazing bakery (20%). You have to go there and have breakfast! Everything is delicious. There are available bicycles for the guesthouse. We have not used it, bc its location is next to the church and you can reach everything by walk. Parking is free around the house. There is heater in the room, which is handy if you want to warm up after a long hike.

Our room did not have bathroom. (somehow I missed it when we booked the room) We had to use the one which is at the corridor (but it was next to our room, so it was close). Bathroom's door handle was loud and it was creaking which woke me up when other hikers left the room at really early in the morning. Everything was clean, but I would give a little extra cleaning to the door and cabinet handles.
