    We had a truly memorable stay for the price.

    The property was in the center of the city. Moreover, it's just off the big church in Reyk, a great landmark, and the main streets in Reykjavik and Bedda.

    I stayed at Guesthouse Our House for 6 days, using it as a base for day trips. The location is perfect, just a short walk away from restaurants, night clubs, and the famous Hallgrimskirkja church. The house itself feels like home, with helpful notes and prompts throughout. The bathrooms are nice, there's a jacuzzi and sauna, and the dining room has everything you need. The beds are comfortable, and there's even a terrace on the second floor. it's a wonderful place that made us feel at home.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The hotel was clean with free Wi-Fi. Everything was great, immaculate, and with a big size room. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made our stay a truly memorable experience. The location couldn't be better and is perfect for discovering Iceland's capital. The food they offered was delicious, with lots of meal options.

    I absolutely adored the cozy and charming decor of Our House Guesthouse. The vintage furniture and beautiful artwork gave it a homely feel that made me instantly comfortable. The common areas were well-maintained and spacious, perfect for relaxing and reading a book. As a senior, I also appreciated the accessibility of the guesthouse. It was conveniently located near popular attractions and the Hallgrimskirkja Church, making it easy for me to explore without having to walk long distances.

    I would have loved if the curtains in the room were a bit darker. As a senior, I value my sleep and prefer a darker environment.

    Johannes, our amazing host, provided us with helpful advice for exploring the area. the location was unbeatable, with everything we needed within walking distance. the facilities were top-notch, with clean rooms, bathrooms, and high-quality bed linen. We were even treated to a special gift of fireworks, which made our trip unforgettable. Thank you for your hospitality. Cons: All good! 😄.

    The location was absolutely amazing, close to downtown and easy access to groceries. The house itself was clean, cozy, and felt like home. The skeleton keys were a cool touch and having the house to ourselves was a bonus. The dry sauna in the basement was a lifesaver. The host provided us with great information about hidden spots in the area. The guesthouse was conveniently located near a historic church and bus line. The communication from the host was excellent, even for our late-night entry. The staff was friendly and helpful. The kitchen and sauna were modern and added to the homely experience. The beds, although small, were incredibly comfortable. The common space was cleaned daily. Talking to Johannes, the owner, was a highlight as he shared fascinating insights about Iceland and recommended an amazing route in the surrounding area. The location, just 2 minutes away from the iconic Hallgrímskirkja, was simply perfect. We loved using the common kitchen and sauna, which enhanced our stay even further. The free wi-fi and potential car park were convenient extras. our experience at this guesthouse was outstanding.

    The accommodation was cozy and comfortable. The room was just the right size for three people. Great location, within walking distance to the lake and cathedral. The owner, especially Jann, was kind and welcoming. Delightful stay, felt like home. Convenient base for day trips. Enjoyed using the sauna after outdoor activities. Close proximity to Sundhöllen thermal pool. Easy access to everything in the city. Free parking at the nearby church. Handy kitchen facilities. Fast Wi-Fi connection. Nice shared bathroom with hot shower.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    I was thrilled to indulge in evenings at the sauna. Communal leisure facilities were fantastic, including a hot tub and basement sauna. I also enjoyed cooking meals in the shared kitchen. The complimentary wireless internet access was a nice touch. I can't wait to go scuba diving in the area!

    It felt like staying at your super fun friend's house. The rooms were cool and had DVD players for movie nights, plus there was an espresso maker for those much-needed caffeine boosts. And the best part? We could surf the web whenever we wanted. It was perfect for young people like us!

    The only thing that would have made it even more amazing for us party-goers would be if there was a common area or a bar where we could hang out and meet other young travelers. But other than that, Our House was the ultimate spot for a fun-filled vacation!

    Text: Loved the sauna and scuba diving in the basement! had fun exploring the terrace and hot tub. The shared kitchen was great for my cooking experiments. Just wish the lobby had a TV show marathon.

    No TV marathons in the lobby.
