Welcome Riverside Guesthouse

The room was dirty when we arrived and looked like someone was actively staying in that room . We couldn’t get a hold of the property . We had no where to stay overnight and Expedia wasn’t helpful

The room was fairly clean, but the sink was a bit dirty in the room. But the washroom and kitchen were clean. As well, I was not sent the code for my room until I messaged the Hotel, so ensure you get the code beforehand. Otherwise, it was good for the cost, there is no staff at the hotel though.

Great stay would come back

Parking was free along the street with plenty of spots. Rooms and showers were clean and never heard any neighbors. Good location with a few restaurants close by that are walkable.

Check in was clunky. You needed to call to get a code, but the confirmation email had one incorrect and one correct number. The free phone in the building listed the correct number but no one answered after numerous attempts. Finally emailed both listed emails to get a response. Whole building smelled like petroleum. Room was run down, but fairly clean and safe. Bathrooms were also rundown. Kitchen had basics, but don’t expect anything besides free water.

Check in was super easy. Place is clean, amazing experience however there was no light in room. Switches don’t work so had to use a flashlight through the entire stay

They never answered the phone or provided check-in information. I needed to contact housekeeper for help.

Easy to check in and the place is clean and quiet 9/10

The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Only stayed one night instead of two. Floors were dirty. Some of our group were uncomfortable staying in a room opposite of where the shared bath and shower facilities were located. The other guests were loud. The surrounding area seemed off the beat and track, but not bad. Parking was available nearby. I did call staff to try to ask about nearby laundry facilities and restaurants. I started by saying that I knew they did not have laundry services, but the person just got upset with me and said "we do not have that" and hung up on me. I tried to call back but never got anyone to answer the phone after that. Very rude. Very frustrating.

Kitchen was dirty, stove wasn’t working Denied checkin in even after I was told by the team of hotels.com to go ahead with late checkin and did inform the property 48 hrs prior but there was no response by the property

Misleading pictures and descriptions. The geo thermal pool is a block away and community, not on site and you have to pay. The bathrooms were tiny, dirty and the woman’s room had no lock. Most dispensers had no paper towel and the overall feel was grimy.

The bathroom were not in its best

Yuck ! Worst place we have stayed in Iceland. Toilet room stuck of mould and sewage. Really weird , mouldy shower. Small room. Bad vibes all round. We hated it so much we cancelled our second night and booked elsewhere, thus, loosing the cost of the room. Complete dive!

We thought this place had a decent room and shared kitchen area, although only one out of the two stoves turned on when my husband and I were cooking. The shared bathroom situation was a bit of a challenge for me since I'm in my third trimester, and to get there I had to go through three doors and a brightly lit hallway in the middle of the night. All in all, it's a good place to sleep if you can get through the night without having to pee.

No front desk for this property. Per the cleaning lady: "if its not between 4pm and 9pm, staff does not usually respond. Like many others i did NOT receive a message with check in info, but I was aware that they frequently have this issue and called in the morning for my door code. Its time for a chahge in how you handle check in, Riverside. Rooms were clean. No rug or shoe rack, so lots of dirt and pebbles get tracked in. Spacious kitchen that is stocked with cooking ware. The walls are thicker than other hostels we have stayed, but the front door slams and can be heard through open windows. We counted 12 rooms, but only 1 bathroom for men. 2 for women. There is an extra unisex one through the kitchen, but the window lines up with the toilet (prepare to moon the neighbors). Showers do not have curtains, or locks on the door. You have to cross the bathroom naked to retrieve your clothes (unless you want them soaked in the shower with you). Mens bathroom also leaks under the wall, so when anyone showers the toilet is soaked around it on the floor. Good price, good location, but just missing too many things and a bit too greedy. We would not stay again.

No hooks in the room to leave jackets or wet towels. Not enough pots and pans for the size of the guesthouse plus one of the stoves did not work. In the showers, nowhere to hang your towel, or your clothes. All of the above are simple fixes that would upgrade the guesthouse.

I would definitely stay there again.

Pleasantly surprised. Great place for just a night of sleep. Very clean and well equipped kitchen.
