Guesthouse Sunna is praised for its central, walkable location by Hallgrímskirkja and Bus Stop 8, very clean spaces, and friendly, helpful staff, making it a reliable budget base for exploring Reykjavík on foot or via tours.
Many like the simple rooms and comfortable beds, with some enjoying church views, though a few note occasional street or hallway noise and warm rooms. Shared kitchens are handy and well equipped, but facilities are basic: parking can be limited, there is no elevator, and toiletries may not be provided. Breakfast is generally good but often described as limited or repetitive, and the hot water’s sulfur smell appears in multiple comments. Overall, expect a central, no-frills stay with welcoming service.

We appreciated being allowed to store gratis our 4 suitcases when we arrived @ 0900 but could not officially check in until 3 PM -- an elevator would have made getting the bags to & from our 3rd floor room easier. Breakfast was good & reception staff helpful in several ways

Those are apartments inside of which each guest has a room. My apartment had 3 rooms (2 double, 1 triple, 1 kitchen, 1 shower room and 1 toilet). Pros: - very central, just park your car and visit everything on foot - free car park - friendly staff - well-equipped kitchen - room are big enough - my room was clean Cons: - the kitchen and entrance of look very old - rooms overlooking the street are noisy, especially those as street level as I had people in front of my window at all hours (no night in June) - the toilet was disgusting but since the rest of the apartment was clean, I have a feeling it was due to another guest.

We arrived in Iceland on an all night flight from Denver, Co. We were able to take the bus into town and walk up the hill to Sunna. The receptionist was fabulous, lots of information and we were able to move right into our room on arrival at 8:00am. Lovely spot and lovely staff. No elevators may be a problem for some.

They only have a few parking spots and they are practically always full, but the location is really good and you can park for free in the church. They don't have an elevator. Other than that, the hotel is really nice, the staff is very helpful, they have a full kitchen and breakfast is good and complete!

I initially considered Guesthouse Sunna due to it's location and finally chose Sunna due to it's competitive price. I had a nice sized clean room in a modern building located in a safe area (a 1 minute walk to Hallgrímskirkja church and bus stop #8) within walking distance to shopping and dining options. The staff was very helpful. They offer luggage hold and coin-op laundry.

Entire property was spotless. The breakfast was cereals, breads, meat, cheese, fruit, orange juice, and coffee. We had a room with a shared bath. Our floor had 8 rooms and each group of 4 had their own kitchen area, bathroom, and two showers. All areas were clean and modern. I had concerns about shared areas but after staying here, they were unfounded. I would happily stay here again, sharing areas. Hostess was friendly and helpful. We missed our initial reservation due to a cancelled then delayed flight. I emailed and asked if our non-refundable reservation could be moved, and she did. That was much appreciated. The room was quiet.

Finding lodging in Iceland isn't easy on a budget. So when I saw this "relatively" low priced guesthouse, I must say I wasn't expecting much. What a great surprise it was! It couldn't have been any cleaner. No carpets anywhere (carpets in hotels are rarely fresh and clean). It was extremely quiet. There was a balcony. My friend and I were in a room with a shared bathroom and there were only 3 rooms sharing the bathroom. Walking out the front door the big church is just a block away and in full view. We didn't communicate often with the staff but when we did they were extremely pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Everything that we'd wanted to see and do was within 5-15 minutes walk, so perfect location. If I'm ever back in Reykjavik I'll definitely be staying here and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great place right across the street from Hallgrímskirkja church. Easy to park a car in their lot and walk around town. The room was a decent size, however very warm even with both windows open. We utilized the kitchen facilities to cook dinner and they were nice.

We accidentally checked the "poor" box, when we meant to check "excellent." DUH! We stayed here for five nights and loved it. The staff was amazing—extremely pleasant and helpful, always taking time to answer our questions. We found one woman (the Manager, we think) to be so gracious and accommodating. For example, we asked for two extra pillows and they were delivered in 30 seconds! Our room was on the ground floor, and it was so quiet and private and within a few feet of the free parking which was another asset provided by Sunna. The beds were perfect, especially the down comforters. We couldn’t get the TV going but we never asked for assistance. After all, why watch TV when in Iceland??? It makes much more sense to roam the streets and pet the kitties of Reykjavik! And there is not a better location: within a stone’s throw of the iconic Lutheran Cathedral and all the good shops and restaurants in the downtown area. We’ll definitely be back!

So understand that you are living in a dormitory, akin to university or college housing with a shared bathroom and kitchen. The room was spacious enough and the cleaning staff are organized and consistent. I found the bed to be somewhat comfortable. Tje room could afford a couple more plugs for power.

We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the hotel was, especially given the low price. The location was amazing — walking distance to everything — and the front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. We really appreciated the free parking (though limited) and the flexibility with a late checkout at 12:30. They even let us park along the wall when the main spots were full. The room was small but bright thanks to a large window. Being on the first floor, we needed a sound machine to block out street and hallway noise. The beds were only twins, which wasn’t ideal for a couple, and comfort was about 7/10. There were also a few quirks: no fridge in the room (just a tiny shared one in a small common area), no body wash provided, and the bathroom had a clear glass sliding door instead of a proper wall — awkward for privacy. Ventilation was poor, and the room got incredibly steamy after a shower. Overall, it’s a great budget-friendly option in a prime location, as long as you’re okay with some unusual design choices.

My husband and I weren't able to stay here due to a family illness back home. I had hoped for more grace and understanding from management considering I cancelled over a week in advance, but they were very strict in their cancellation policy. I was given not a penny in reimbursement with my mother in law in hospital back in Canada. It was a very disappointing experience being out over $450. Life happens and it would have gone a long way to have had some compassion and empathy in our difficult situation, even for a small portion of our stay to be reimbursed.

Our flight to Iceland was abruptly cancelled by the airline due to a storm. I phoned Guesthouse Sunna to inform them that it would be impossible for us to arrive and requested that to cancel the booking. They stated a two-day advance notice for cancellations and charged my card for one night without any consideration of the circumstances. I am disappointed by Guesthouse Sunna. It seems their primary concern is financial rather than the well-being of their customers.

I had a nice sized clean room in a modern building located in a safe area (a 1 minute walk to Hallgrímskirkja church and bus stop #8) within walking distance to shopping and dining options. The staff was very helpful. They offer luggage hold and coin-op laundry.

Incredible location! We were right across the street from the giant Hallgrímskirkja church and were able to walk to all of the things to see and do in Reykjavik. That church was also the pickup spot for all of our day trip tours around the rest of the country, so it couldn't have been any more convenient. We were able to walk a block for coffees and pastries before getting our 8am buses each morning. Room, shared bathrooms and common spaces were all clean and welcoming!

Excellent location, right across from Hallsgrimskirkja, and close to restaurants, shopping and culture. The room was clean and warm. The staff were helpful with checking in, and answering questions we had about local dining options.

Loved staying at Sunna Guesthouse. It was very conveniently located a few steps from bus stop 8. I had a view of the cathedral, which was magnificent. So close to great streets for sightseeing, and brilliant and helpful staff. Very clean and quiet. Highly recommend.

Location was fabulous and I could walk everywhere. It was close to wonderful restaurants and shops as well as a bus stop. The room was spotless and the bedding of high quality. I had a lovely view, but was offered to be on a lower floor if stairs would be difficult. Glad I took the view room, which was very quiet.

It was in an excellent location right near the church and you could easily walk around the city. Plenty of free parking nearby even if the lot was full.

Very convenient, as hotel is located directly across from landmark Halgrimskirka, a church that features top-drawer organ recitals that may or may not be secretly dedicated to Thor, a location allowing for easy navigation back to bed from anywhere in the city for anyone still able to lift his head to the horizon.

Dining
On-site breakfast is generally good but simple, with limited variety and some noting price or repetition. Self-catering is easy thanks to the shared kitchens.

Great B&B in the heart of Reykjavik right next to the church! I had a wonderful time there at Sunna. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially Monika! The daily breakfast was most appreciated. Loved my stay there, and I hope I can return soon!

I think they should lower the price of their breakfast. There is really nothing much on their breakfast for 2,000 Kronos. I was able to get a better food at the nearest cafe for 1,000 Kronos. Other than that, the place is excellent and located close to the bus stop and downtown, shops, etc. the staff is friendly. A clean place. I Highly recommend this place.

Everything met my expectations and the staffing supplied any special assistance I needed! The location on Sunna Guesthouse is central to main shopping streets, beautiful Hallgrimskirkja Church, tour and siteseeing bus stop #8 and the best restaurants in town (shout out Cafe Loki, Skal, Braud & Co. and Reykjavik Roasters) I loved the breakfasts and the classic Icelandic spartan quality of facility and service!

This was a very well situated guest house with easy walks to BSI and the center of Reykjavik, and very close to bus stop 8 used for pickup and drop off. Having a small kitchen available was useful. The breakfast offered was good quality but of limited variety.

We loved the deluxe room and the great location, with a view of the church from our window! It was difficult getting luggage to the upper floors 2 (Only 2nd floor for us), and this facility could benefit from an elevator. If you have only carry-on luggage, it’s probably not much of a problem. The breakfast area was sunny and bright, but the breakfast itself was extremely limited and lacking. The facility should add some additional choices. Despite the breakfast and luggage issues, we enjoyed staying here, due to the location and the quality room and facilities.

The location of the hotel is excellent, just a short walk from Hallgrímskirkja Church. The room was clean and spacious, and having a refrigerator was a great bonus. I was very satisfied with my stay. The breakfast was simple, but it was much appreciated given the high cost of living in Iceland. For a guesthouse, it had everything I needed and offered a very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend it.
