Comfy room with everything you need. Nice lounge area on the top floor with excellent and free coffee choices and snacks available for purchase to enrich your coffee. Free smoothy every day was fantastic add. L'Occitane products in the bathroom made me feel pampered and taken care of (unlike cheapest options you get in other stays). Location could not have been better - I saw fhe main church from out of my window! The area was safe to walk around at night and I was able to find free parking nearby so don't be scared that there is street parking. Free and very healthy(!) breakfast options in a next door cafe were wonderful. The cherry on top was wonderful host - such a friendly, welcoming, polite, smiling, helpful host, thank you so much, sir! I loved my stay in this guesthouse the most out of all stays on my trip to Iceland. Well worth the money.

We stayed in the garden house mid May. Despite our earlier misgivings, our studio was warm, not to say hot, probably thanks to a floor heating. The studio was small but had all the essentials incl. a desk and chair where one could work if required. Also, despite the fact that the place is very central just opposite the cathedral, the garden is very quiet. Everything was clean and neat, comfy bed, an electric kettle was provided. We could also go up to the main house kitchen and lounge for coffee. A kitchen for guests is provided if required. The host seems to be only intermittently present but this did not bother us since we did not have any issues, key in the lock, etc. Great location to see the city. The price was competitive -- esp. when compared to other venues that we inspected. What's not to like?

The guesthouse was just amazing. There’s no better place in Reykjavik for such low price. In addition the owners and stuff are the kindest and most sweet people on the entire island. Thank you!

The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and homely. The room was small but comfortable enough. Breakfast was lovely, simple but healthy and nice. Their Icelandic Kefir is delicious. The location is very central and quite near that famous church. They let us store our luggage before checking in and after checking out which was very helpful

I will be staying here again next time I visit Reykjavik! the facilities are clean, tidy, and very comfortable. They have someone to keep the place tidy throughout the day. I really appreciated the fact that they were so accommodating for me. I had a series of issues with flights (ended up arriving a day late) & then ended up needing to stay an extra day (which they included with my original payment; no extra charge). I also booked an excursion and messed up my email, in which I was able to speak with Fridrik (I believe who is one of the owners) who was able to help me receive my confirmation for my tour. The rules and security they have set in place made me feel very safe as a solo female traveler. Noise was kept to a minimum & everyone was very respectful of each other and the communal areas. 10/10 recommend Igdlo guesthouse! Other Positives: - easy to find on the map/gps/direction apps - checking in after-hours instructions were clear & easy to follow - staff is very friendly & helpful - checkout process is easy - easy walk to downtown & bus stops where excursion companies use as pick-up locations

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.
