Clean, warm and comfortable room. Minimal staff/host presence but bathrooms were well maintained and we had all the information we needed to let ourselves in. Also appreciated the spare toiletries in the bathrooms as my body wash was unfortunately sacrificed to airport security lol. Location is FAB, very walkable to all sorts of attractions so very little need to rely on public transport. All in all we felt it was great for the price.

I was looking for a place to sleep with some comforts. While the room was small, I was there to spend my time exploring Iceland so all I really needed was a bed. The room had 2 comfortable beds (single person each), it's own sink with mirror, and an electric kettle as well as some teas, sugar, and mjolk which made mornings very nice. The room had it's own lock (though Iceland doesn't really feel like you need it), had it's own heaters, and I was very comfortable. The shared water closets (2 full, 1 half) amply met needs. The shared kitchen was small but fully functional and everyone had their own storage space. The entire place was clean, comfortable, and enjoyable. Next time I come back to Iceland, Refurinn Guesthouse is my stay location of choice.

Only that I wish I could have had more time in Iceland. Refurinn Guesthouse made the stay accessible and comfortable.

The room was beautiful. Really spacious with a nice view. Also, there were some lovely decorations and the room was equipped with everything needed for breakfast, which was really useful. The owners were also really kind and helpful.

Everything was perfect for us :)

My favorite place to stay in Reykjavik! I spent almost two weeks there and had to keep changing the dates, etc., due to travel conflicts. I was accommodated by the owners immediately and with zero issues. The rooms are super clean, the kitchen is perfect AND there’s a washer & dryer! I barely heard any other guests - everyone was respectful of being quiet at night, etc. I will definitely stay here on my future trips (this was my 6th trip to Iceland). It beats all the overpriced hotels in the area. Perfect location to walk anywhere in the city and a super quick walk to the harbor, restaurants and grocery stores.

Great place to stay, very well located, the house had everything that we needed, in the room there was basic stuff like coffee, tea, water and what we needed to make them, so it was really great, and also a sink for the basic, the kitchen was very well organize and we were able to cook some basic food for our daily trips. Toilets always clean, room clean. The bed was super comfy, we really enjoyed our stay, everything went super smoothly.

Staying at a Guesthouse in Reykjavik is definitely the way to go, and this place was excellent. By staying here we were able to save some money on food by cooking our own meals in the shared kitchen. We met some other travelers, which was nice. Access to a refrigerator, luggage storage, and washer and dryer was really great. Overall it was clean, well-run, organized, and quiet. The check-in and check-out process was clearly communicated to us. We didn't have a vehicle so I cannot comment on that. I've stayed at other hostel-type places in other cities across the world and would say that this one was my favorite.

Just to let others know, it is a bit of a walk into the main part of town from this Guesthouse, but I would not want to trade the potential increased noise and probably higher prices just to be closer to the main drag.

Really lovely! I was traveling with my father, and the folks running the guesthouse brought him extra pillows, because he needs to sleep mostly upright. Then, when there was a cancellation, they offered us the extra room so that he and I could each be more comfortable. We're so grateful for the kindness and hospitality. The rooms are clean, bright, and warm. We used the shared kitchen every morning. Shared bathrooms were never an issue - there are three on the main floor. Rooms also have a small sink, and there are coffee and tea makings in the rooms as well. A quick 5 minute walk to the harbor, a 20-30 minute walk to the downtown area near the big church (Hallgrímskirkja), and a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest pool with thermal baths.

No complaints, really.

Great location only a few minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of downtown Reykjavik. Room was large with plenty of space with a small sink and table for two. Community kitchen and bathrooms were clean and neat. Had my best sleep of the trip at this location!
