Freya Guesthouse was comfortable and well situated for the tourist attractions of Reykjavik. The neighbourhood is quiet. The host is on site and easy to get ahold of. The kitchen was comfortable. The bathroom/shower was basic but good enough.

Really great location close to cafes, bars and restaurants. Really easy check in and check out. There was access to a kitchen which was really useful. We were also able to leave our bags once we had checked out.

Great location, near the centre, but still quiet without noise. Nice communication and clean bedroom and bathroom. I really recomend it :-) There was also a storage for luggage that we used, because we arrived to Reykjavík before the check-in time. There was coffe, tea, sugar etc. in the kitchen, also nice and clean.

Fantastic location! Near everywhere. The staff really takes care of guests, and I got all the check-in info a few days before coming to Reykjavik. The room was big, beautiful, and very cozy, with access to a fine kitchen annex and a clean bath. Comfortable place, definitely the first choice next time. I strongly recommend it!

The location is great. Quiet place, we were not disturbed by street noise at night. We had the opportunity to cook our own food in the kitchen. The Wi-Fi is great. The staff is very friendly. We get answers and valuable advice to our questions. After checking out, we were kindly allowed to leave our luggage until leaving for the airport.

The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!

Very good price for a single room in Reykjavik, was even cheaper than dorm-beds in some hostels! Good location, only a few minutes walk to city center. Supermarket next door, still the street itself is rather quiet. Very clean and also has basic equipment for cooking.
