Stayed for only one night en route to Denmark. Our host was wonderful and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. I had read previous reviews that were quite dated but the host explained there had been upgrades since. The bed felt luxurious and the location is perfect for exploring downtown Reykjavik on foot. Bus stop to catch a bus to the airport was about two blocks away. Coffee provided was so good. Bakery around the corner as well as pubs and restaurants. Wonderful (brief) stay for us. Will choose this guesthouse again:)
