Freyja Guesthouse and Suites

great stay at a nicely appointed guesthouse! the shared bathroom worked well; everyone was very conscientious about keeping things clean. the mango smoothies and chocolate lemon cake were yummy! booking and check-in/-out were a breeze. location was quiet with on-street parking (not an issue) and convenient location. we would definitely book again!

Very warm reception by the owners, who let us drop off our bags hours before check in, and then got us into the room an hour early. Very quiet hotel on a side street, easy walking distance to everything. Would have been nice to have darker blackout curtains for the midnight sun.

We had 2 comfortable nights, the location is perfect, the landmark just is right there throughout the window in the kitchen. And the 3rd floor small lounge is just renovated,it is really cozy. And every facilities are nice and clean. However, this is probably an old house, the floor is a bit creaking, but not an issue for us.

This place was spotless: Very clean and well kept. Owners were extremely friendly and helpful. There’s about 4 rooms on both floors. A full kitchen on the second floor and a common bathroom as well. I assume it’s the same on the first floor. The free bicycles provided are fully functional and nice to get around town with. Highly recommended.

This place is a gem! A 5-minute walk to Hallgrímskirja and in the center.|The whole accommodation screams luxury. The room is spacious. The bed were very comfortable, it was perfect after days of hiking in the country side. Pillows were fluffy and each guest gets two, which made our snug sleep. Each room has a television wide about 50".|The bathroom is extremely fresh and tidy. It has L'occitane products (from shampoo, conditioner and body wash - lavish, I know) that is absolute in every shower that we took.|The kitchen is well-equipped. There's a fridge, microwave, oven and burner. There are also utensils - plates, mugs, drinking glass, from wine to cappuccino, you name it. The mango shake every morning is extremely thoughtful for travellers leaving early, not to mention it is tasty.|There is a viewing room in the attic where you can have a meal, drink some tea or coffee. There are windows against the skynin case the northern lights decide to show up.|There are enough parking in the area but can be tricky for those who are not seasoned drivers (like me!)|Over-all this is the place to stay when in Reykjavik. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay here again. You will get more than you pay for

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 area 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. She 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.

Wonderful! This is an intimate, well-run and very quiet and comfortable guesthouse in a fabulous location. The husband and wife and grown son who own and manage this are very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to help my wife and I figure out a variety of logistics regarding how to get where, and other good suggestions.. Very clean, lovely rooms, excellent kitchen facilities. Highly recommended!

Near Hallgrimskirkja, so downtown. Rooms have limited old electrical outlets with power strips. The outlet sparked when I plugged in my phone. The church bells ring every 15 minutes (charming) but stops at 9 pm, so you can sleep. However, our sleep was very poor. The neighbor was blasting loud music (a live band?) until 1:30 am. Finally, we fell asleep only to be awakened by a blaring fire alarm at 3:30 in the morning. All guests evacuated to the outside in the 48 degrees weather with only pajamas on. No fire department came. Only a man appeared running in from the street after 10 minutes. He entered the house and shut the alarm off. We were not told why the alarm went off or that it was safe. No apologies. We did not know who he was, nor did he clarify his identity. We all went in and attempted to sleep again but it was too late. The sky was bright and the guests were awake and restless after this chilling disturbance. Many began showering. Others packed and left, creating more loud noise. The front door is old and heavy and sticks, so guests on the first floor do not sleep with the constant slamming. In the morning, the man who shut off the alarm was at the desk for check out. He offered no refund or discount, only two water bottles and granola bars for the inconvenience of having no sleep. Haha. I declined. Poor awareness of hospitality and customer service. After all, people stay here only to sleep, so actually getting sleep is essential to a business that offers only a bed and nothing else. There is no spa, hot tub, sauna, or breakfast offered here, only noisy rooms with no furniture for suitcases and no outlets for modern electronics. Avoid this place.
