Snorri's Guesthouse

Very convenient to sights and easy to get to location.

Was here for a one night stay, this place is charming and is all self check in. Walkable in the area and we were able to park the car directly in front. Our private bathroom was very small and tight, and the water temp fluctuated, but all in all a good stay!

No staff to meet. Check in was super simple! It is however on a major roadway. Shared bathroom facilities which I felt was a bit strange. Water did smell like sulphur. First time I smelled that in the wash but it wasn’t super strong. Average overall.

When i previously stayed at this property a couple of years ago I thought it was excellent and was looking forward to staying again. Unfortunately I was allocated room 3C where it was not possible to see the views as the windows had frosted glass. One window was in very poor condition as it was rotten with small insects in the rotten wood and did not stop the drafts or the noise from the road below. Also the excellent breakfast is now not available until June.

Great location. Great price. Only issue was not all windows had curtains have sunlight at 5:00 AM woke me up.

Loved our room — the size, the space, the decorations.

Nice room

Great location, close to bus station and city centre, good kitchen available on premises too. No staff on site but respond quickly and send you door code for entry.

First, the property is in desperate need of upgrades. From the furniture in the common areas, to fridge which the inside door shelves were broken, the inside freezer door showed the insulation. The staff was the only good thing about the property

This is a sweet little property! Its a little more affordable than other places in Reykjavik, yet easy walk to the ocean and downtown. The room is comfortable and clean with nice amenities. The breakfast is small and simple, but quite adequate! We would definitely suggest a stay here.

No one on site Shared bathroom with 3 other rooms

Bathroom is shared and it wasn't very clean. Room was decent. Breakfast was the highlight of the stay, and location

We were placed in wrong room by Expedia and since full could not be accommodated correctly. Only staff on site is cleaning crew who were polite but are not able to help with room placements. So any problems or concerns you had to call someone. The room was a nice size and clean, but as it had a big cornered bay window, it did not have sufficient curtains. As sun is only down a couple hours in summer, only one side had a black out curtain and the regular curtains didn’t wrap around to cover all of the window. Had to use hair clips to keep the sun out. The window ledge was also broken/ falling apart had to be careful around.

Nothing fancy but clean and comfy, and breakfast is included in a cute little garden level dining area. Feel quite satisfied with my stay, and it was so easy to check in and walk or bus to where I needed to go.

Great place to stay, good breakfast, enough space for 3 adults and all our stuff. Showers were hot and cold but manageable

Old trees around the property and in the backyard were wonderful. Watch snow falling on the trees, then melting by morning was great.

Good variety of choices for breakfast.

Snorri’s was a very fine guesthouse. I was on the top floor, the rooms are small, but I was only 1 person. I stayed 2 different times. The 1st time, my room was at the front of the house facing the street. I found the street noise bothersome, but others might not. The room did have its own sink, which I highly enjoyed. My 2nd stay was at the back of the house, and my room was very quiet, but no sink. Although the TV is satellite, there were only 3 channels (all BBC variety). On the 2nd floor the rooms are larger. There is no elevator, so pack light. I had to carry my suitcase up 2 flights on a spiral staircase. There was no trouble with the shared bathroom. All was clean and I felt very safe. The email arriving the day before your arrival has vital information you need. There is a phone # posted on the outside door if you have trouble, assuming you have an international calling plan. I did not, and I did not receive that email, so I had some trouble. But it was quickly resolved and things proceeded very well. Breakfast is good and all I needed: bread, hard-boiled egg, Skyr, granola, cheese, cucumbers, oranges, apples, etc. The coffee is strong for my personal taste. If you are arriving via bus (i.e., FlyBus), they will drop/pick you up at the bus stop #11, which is about 3 blocks away. This is fine if you packed light with good weather; if you are older, you might consider a taxi or car. Limited parking on the street. Yes, I would stay here again.

Very clean and peaceful place to stay with warm staff, very nice breakfasts, and a very comfortable room.

Very cute and cozy guesthouse ideally located near the BSI terminal, downtown, and points of interest. The single room is perfect for a solo traveller. The whole place is clean and well cared for. The shared bathrooms wasn’t an issue but then again December is not peak season so maybe capacity was not full. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. The option to use laundry machines and kitchen was really great and makes guests feel at home. The owners are nice when you can get a hold of them (did not see them at all during my stay) and my concern was just that communication was mostly one sided. I had a few questions/concerns that did not get answered before my arrival despite contacting them via different methods several times. They send a PIN code and check in information at night on the day before your check in, but maybe takes a while to get it. Other than that, everything was great.
