Downtown Reykjavík Baldursbrá Guesthouse

Arrivée tardive … heureusement un autre voyageur nous a aiguillé pour trouver la chambre sinon on restait dehors sinon ce petit désagrément … la localisation est top, la chambre hyper calme et spacieuse … une sdd avec wc partagée mais très propre et avec tout confort … le spa annoncé était fermé et sans vraiment d’indications pour s’en servir … c’est plutôt l’annonce qui était un peu éloignée de la réalité mais la chambre était top et bien située

Posizione centrale a pochi minuti a piedi da BSI (stazione bus), cattedrale, piscina termale e centro. Camera spaziosa e con bollitore. No ascensore ma scale agevoli. Nel 2023 la syruttura aveva la CUCINA comune che però NON C'È PIÙ e questa è stata una spiacevole sorpresa. La posizione tranquilla vicino alle Ambasciate UK Germania, Canada Norvegia, la vicinanza al supermercato Kronan e la grande spaziosità delle camere ne fanno una eccellente guesthouse però senza cucina.

i stayed here with my brother and my friend. the room and property was quiet and we felt safe the whole time. a shared washroom was just outside our room, which was very convenient. parking is on the street and when we arrived, there were no spots left. so we had to drive around quite a bit before we found a spot! overall and excellent stay and did the job: a safe place to rest before we continued on our way.

Great location close to the downtown. It was hard to find a parking spot. Room was clean and a good size.

The garden area can be more organized

Considering everything in Iceland costs an arm and a leg this place was affordable and overall just okay. The room was spacious but there is nobody actually here so if you need help with anything good luck, in our case one of our windows lacked a blind curtain or anything. Normally this would not be a big deal however consider that the Sun set at 12 am and rose again at 3 am… Yeah so none of us slept well at all. I emailed about this issue with no response. Was looking forward to the hot tub but it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month and after 5 min was no warmer than some bath water (plus no bubbles). Place was overall as I said okay I’m not a picky person but when the sun is steaming in my face at 3:30 am I get a little upset. See photo taken at 4:30 am for reference as too the brightness without a blind on the window.

There is a nice garden with hot tub but it was raining so it was not on. Not too convenient to carry big luggage through the house and go upstairs to the garden rooms. The sitting and dining room are nice and kitchen is well equipped.

Spacious rooms, good size communal kitchen, dining area and bathrooms. Located about 5 minute walk from the main area. Tea and coffee readily available.

Good place to stay. Clean. Only sadness that hot tub was really cold at the start of use time so got out fast.

Very clean and comfortable. Speedy response to email enquiry Great area No shared kitchen or breakfast sitting areas. No laundry access Hot tub jets not working

It’s an older property, and therefore a little less soundproofed than well-built modern places, but that doesn’t detract from the comfort. It’s clean, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and we weren’t left wanting for anything. The centre of the eating and shopping area is a short and pleasant walk away.

We enjoyed this Guesthouse immensely! It was close to town, making the city walkable, near bus stops to catch Hop-on-and-off Bus, or walk to the Harbor. It was clean, easy to find, and very comfortable! Shared bathrooms, but very clean too. We will use again!

Perfetto per un breve soggiorno. Economico, pulito, vicino al centro. Considerato il costo, meglio della migliore aspettativa

Staff were accommodating; door code not included with check-in information and keypad hard to locate initially; close to BSI Terminal, domestic airport and Kronan grocery store; quiet street but periodic flight noise; large room with mini-fridge and kettle (no kitchen); windows that open and close; room was clean but bathrooms less so; no site staff to manage other guests coming in confused or loud and late

This property is well located, and clean. If you are a young traveller who does not mind being up all night. This is clearly a party house, hot tub was used till the very early morning. There is a kettle in your room but no cups or spoons. There was no key in the door when we arrived so we had to leave our stuff in an unlocked room or miss our excursions. When we reported this the staff they were reluctant to tell us when it would be resolved and we had to chase three more times to get and locate the key. I have to say Iceland is so beautiful that this did not dampen our spirits but the other noisy thoughtless guests meant no sleep really for four nights.

Demasiado mal todo. Muy mal aseado, la cama nos dio alergia de lo sucio que estaba. No quisimos usar ni la cocina ni el baño. No lo recomiendo

A convenient no frills guesthouse in an awesome neighborhood close to everything. Pricey for a sparse room with a shared bath and no concierge. Our room was clean but smelled a bit like a smoker had been there

Good place to stay. Clean. Only sadness that hot tub was really cold at the start of use time so got out fast.

Not very clean, the facilities are old, and the kettle is also dirty

Bei Ankunft war niemand da. Mein Name stand mit Zimmernummer an einer Tafel. Das Zimmer dazu war seit dem letzten Gast noch nicht gereinigt. Habe anrufen müssen. Bekam per Telefonat ein anderes Zimmer. Das war einfach, aber sauber und ok. Auch bei Abreise hat sich kein Verantwortlicher gezeigt. Der Mierbetrag wurde allerdings zwischenzeitlich abgebucht.

In the end the room we ended up with was fine. Thought we were getting a shared bathroom accommodation but ended up with the entire 1st floor apartment. Though that wasn't clearly communicated right away. Biggest drawback is the proximity to the street. The windows are paper thin and we could hear everyone walk past them in the night.

Petite guesthouse, bien située mais un peu vieillotte. WC et douche en commun… à rafraîchir.

Cozy, convenient room. Easy access to downtown. Great stay.

Location was great. Walkable to a lot of great restaurants and shopping in Reykjavík. Stayed here my last night as a budget place to stay, and felt very comfortable. No complaints, great as a solo traveler

Chambre de 3 lits plutôt spacieuse. Chauffages efficace. Très bonne salle de bain. Rien à redire si c'est juste pour dormir.

Nice quiet room close to everything

The property was convenient to the transportation options, it was close to the downtown area and other sightseeing areas. The only issue we had was not being able to get into the property because we didn’t have the code for the door. We had to call the number, and the gentleman gave us the code over the phone.

Older reviews talk about a host family, which appears to have changed now. During my stay it was an unstaffed property. That's common in Reykjavik, but it created a few problems. Upon arrival you walk in the unlocked door and check for your name on a whiteboard. My name wasn't there, so I phoned the property number. They were efficient and offered me a better room by way of apology. I then had a phone call from the property at midnight, which woke me up. I missed it so phoned back, apparently it was a mistake. Next day I got an email, which was checkin instructions for another resident. I just ignored it. The next day I had another call, double checking which room I was in. So all in all, organisation was pretty poor, although the people I spoke to were pleasant. Otherwise this is excellently located, central and in a nice area, with free parking (rare). My room was in the Garden House, which is a two floor structure on the building's side. Unlike the main building it is wooden framed with corrugated metal, which means it creeks terribly when people walk around. That meant I didn't get great sleep. The room however was nicely furnished and very clean. Overall, the property was good value, but there is a need for things to become a bit better organised.

Très bien mais il nous manquait le code d’entrée qui est venu très tard. Simple et efficace comme hébergement et bien localisé.

Tried to communicate with them for 5 days before my trip to Iceland. I needed some info about getting in and storing my bags from my early morning/overnight flight while I went on a tour. Messaged them 3 times and didn’t get any response. I ended up booking somewhere else and ate my cost cause I couldn’t cancel. I finally received a message after my check in time (which was 8 hours after I arrived in Reykjavik. Poor communication. Would not recommend.

Great communications by managers, would stay again

The property is 3 stories high and huge. Each floor has toilet & bathroom. Very convenient for the renters. Everywhere is tidy and clean. Close to BSI, downtown. The owner is very responsive. Loved the place I stayed. Would recommend to anyone.

Conviniently located, all major attractions within walkable distance. Owner was very accommodating as well! Thank you

Very satisfied and loved the location.

Posizione centrale a pochi minuti a piedi da BSI (stazione bus), cattedrale, piscina termale e centro. Camera spaziosa e con bollitore. No ascensore ma scale agevoli. Nel 2023 la syruttura aveva la CUCINA comune che però NON C'È PIÙ e questa è stata una spiacevole sorpresa. La posizione tranquilla vicino alle Ambasciate UK Germania, Canada Norvegia, la vicinanza al supermercato Kronan e la grande spaziosità delle camere ne fanno una eccellente guesthouse però senza cucina.

Very nice spot and very walkable to all attractions within the city.

The location is good

Very close to city centre and bus station

버스터미널과 가깝고 조용해서 좋습니다

We loved our stay here. We got a cabin in the back and it was more than we expected (a well stocked kitchenette - we expected some shared spaces) and beautiful. This place also included breakfast and was our most affordable stay in our entire trip (others charged more and did not include breakfast). We also got to see the northern lights while here and the surroundings are beautiful. We took a short 7 minute drive to the bridge to watch the lights dancing by the water and mountains. Both concierge members were friendly and willing to help! Highly recommend!

No longer breakfast...only self-serve. But lovely, simple place to stay....but.....bring earplugs. Both nights a neighbor drummed from 6pm until 11pm.

Struttura accolgiente,pulita e vicina al centro.Buona la colazione

Ottima esperienza vicino al centro raggiungibile a piedi in 10 minuti ...puoi usare la cucina è cucinare qualcosa ....unica pecca per me che non so la lingua non c'è nessuno a ad accogliere ma scritto su una lavagna quale stanza prendere...da consigliare.

The removal of the included breakfast from last year was a big step back for the property - it offered a certain charm that is now lacking and it's just a guesthouse now with a passable price point, having lost some of its value.

There is a nice garden with hot tub but it was raining so it was not on. Not too convenient to carry big luggage through the house and go upstairs to the garden rooms. The sitting and dining room are nice and kitchen is well equipped.

Très grande Guesthouse à 800 mètres du centre ville. Arrivée bien organisée avec affichage des numéros de chambres. La personne que nous avons vu qui gère les petits déjeuners est accuillante, les chambres spacieuses.

Spacious rooms, good size communal kitchen, dining area and bathrooms. Located about 5 minute walk from the main area. Tea and coffee readily available.
