Very good

Water smelt like rotten eggs. You could hear everything all night, every footstep from everyone. The curtains were awful, since it didn’t get dark. And the shared bathrooms were miserable, bad towels, and no soap

Noisy bathrooms audible to other rooms. Water smells too much sulphuric. Very nice kitchen and appliances.
Shared kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed for meals. One bathroom per floor of 3 rooms so there were people from other floors coming to ours to use the bathroom. Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was hot!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The pictures in advertisement were much nicer than the actual guesthouse. We were located by the kitchen and it was very noisy, especially during nighttime hours. Severe mold problem in our room from ceiling to floor. Parking was ok. Weeds up to my shoulders in back yard, and no clean path from rear street to door so very easy to track dirt in.
We were there for 4 days and no way to refresh towels or washcloth.
The room was big and the bed was comfortable. If you are a light sleeper like myself then the traffic road noise maybe an issue. We physically checked in at 10 pm and left at 4 AM to leave for the airport.
What did we like? Room provided 2 twin beds and 1 sofa bed for 2 that were comfortable. It has a good location that allows you to walk to the main streets of Reykjavik.
What didn't we like? Entrance displays the need of maintenance. Bushes are overgrown and paint is past due. When we entered the Guesthouse, it was smelly. The room assigned to us was downstairs and if you do not turn on lights (which initially you have no idea where they are), you will not be able to see much.
Multiple showers like a dorm. I was not comfortable bathing alone since it seemed so spooky.
Overall, in our travel, we stayed in 5 different locations, and this was by far the least that we liked. Not returning and would not recommend.
Close to downtown, but not in downtown. Walk across the street and cut next to church and you are in downtown. Bonus points for coffee machine in kitchen and free street parking
