The Old Bicycle Shop

Great place to stay. Iceland is a dream.

We loved our stay at the old bicycle shop. Good communication throughout. Helpful. The accommodation was charming and in a great location. Would highly recommend

A lovely place to stay, close to centre, loads of character and really nice communal spaces, kitchen and living rooms, bedroom was nice, bit noisy as on the street and walls were very thin, but it’s an older house.

My stay was clean and comfortable. My room was quite small and lacking room to place luggage. Kitchen and social area was very nice and homey.

Very confusing directions came the next day in “how too” get into the property. Unsure of parking situation—a person walking on street helped us by pointing out free parking on weekends. The owner kept messaging me that my credit card numbers were wrong and wanted me to “send them”. ??? This is the reason to use Expedia (which I used 4 previous nights) no problem. Owner wasn’t on-site to be able to handle. I’m still trying to figure out what was charged to my card or not?

Lovely place to stay! Quiet and quaint. The host was so kind and welcoming. Perfect place to wind down after a long day of exploring Iceland. Great location, right by Snaps bistro where you can have a fantastic meal!

I loved this place! The owner is very sweet and accommodating. We checked in early and we were able to relax with coffee while our room was being finished up. The hotel is in a great location and the black out curtains are a huge plus!

Gudrun and Fergus own this guesthouse. Very nice. The have shared bathroom ( water is pumped through the by the city from the geothermal pools under the ground so has a sulfur smell), shared kitchen and 2 shared meeting rooms. All very clean. Centrally located to downtown Reykjavik. We are practically the only ones there so we got separate rooms! Their kitty Pumpkin is sweet snd wanders around.

Beautiful property in an excellent location. The house was beautiful, warm and clean. No complaints other than a pesky sticking door on my room which was noisy to open

The Host was an excellent Resource and a questionnaire about a famous playwright from England his wife gave good directions to a New Year's Eve bonfire

the upstairs space was worn and torn,,the fire alarm battery beeped all night keeping us awake ,,and was very hot

Great!

Appreciated having a kitchen and the comfort of the main common area.

It is a unique and delightful guesthouse. Well situated.

Booked for two, clearly stated on the booking but when arrived (when someone eventually greeted us) the room was for one - in amongst significant construction work. The member of staff was very helpful, explained that the owner had meant to, but neglected to cancel and tried to find us alternative accomodation but still, what a mess.

Nice and clean, heating wasn't on but a quick play with the radiator fixed that. Didn't meet the owners but their cat was very friendly

Nice Air B 'n B guesthouse near everything! You cannot beat the price, especially at this location. Check-in was super easy. The room was clean.

Great location once you have found a parking spot. Very comfy.

Great room, perfect for travelling with our young daughter (crib provided, too!). Was a bit difficult getting the stroller in and out but it wasn't a big deal. You're right in the city here, 5mins walk from shops and sights and bars. Definitely recommend!

What a strange review this is to write! It's almost all good: the location is great and easily accessible from a couple different shuttle stops; the property is clean, warm and cozy; the pets are great -- open to cuddling and ear scratches but not in your stuff; the bed was comfortable and the wifi was fast. There is tea for breakfast in the morning and a fridge to hold any milk, fruit, etc. that you bring in. The trouble is the service. One of the hosts is good, no issues. The other is probably the grumpiest and surliest host I have ever experienced. Not helpful, not happy to see you, conversations are full of snippy comments. At first I thought it was just me, but other users staying at the same time had very similar experiences, leaving them scratching their heads about what they did wrong. I really want to be able to recommend the Old Bicycle Shop to friends and family who are travelling to Iceland; I am on the fence about whether I can honestly do that. Maybe it was just a bad week?
