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 :-)

Guesthouse Aurora was a great landing spot in Reykjavik: close to restaurants, Hallgrimskirkja, Laugavegur, and the waterfront. We were in Reykjavik only one night before taking off for the ring road, and were grateful to be able to see so many things in the city in the time we had. Aurora offered easy on-street parking, staff that were kind and helpful, and Icelandic breakfast that I appreciated for being a good solid start to the day while also being quick and not too large.

We absolutely loved our stay at Guesthouse Sunna- it was in the most perfect location and we were very lucky to have a room with a view of the Hallsgrim's church and Einar Johnsson museum and a balcony. The room was super cosy and comfy and level of cleanliness was exceptional + staff were very diligent in housekeeping everyday. Bonus to have the kitchen facilities and places to sit and eat and cook, make tea etc. We will definitely recommend and hope to come back again.

The room was big enough. Have a sofa and was clean. It is nice located close to the church and main Reykjavik restaurants. Beds were comfy enough. The breakfast was simple but had a bit of everything. Except fruits.

The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
