Reviews of Downtown Reykjavík Baldursbrá Guesthouse

Location is good.

No mirror, no hairdryer. Beds are very uncomfortable. Toilet seat is moving sideways. No drawers

The room was not what I expected from booking listing

Room too small and bathroom not very clean

Great location. Clear instructions. Great view.

Comparatively cheap for Reykjavík prices. Conveniently located close to the flybus bus terminal and a short walk to Laugavegur st, one of the main drags in town. We were able to leave our bags at the guesthouse on either side of a 4 day hike which was extremely convenient.

Aa product of the water for the entirety of Reykjavík and not just this guesthouse but the water really smells like sulphur.

Uncomplicated clean and comfortable well placed for the centre of Reykjavík.

Great location, very walkable, enough for what we needed for an evening.

The check in instructions were delivered very late, they did not respond to any of my messages on here. The fire alarm went off while we were sleeping because of someone cooking, and there was a very loud group next door. The quiet hours are not monitored well, we had rough sleep

Comfortable beds. Good location in peaceful part of Reykjavik but still close to the main road. Shared bathroom clean and specious but not to new.

Location and parking. Decent room space.

Poor soundproof. Hot water pressure is low. With this price, a shared kitchen was expected but unfortunately it’s not. The staff is always answering promptly.

Location. near city centre

very soft bed there were things broken ( like toilet seat) there was an overbooking and were moved room on arrrival that was reserve for a different family that was moved another building away from the city centre

The staff were completely accommodating. The location was very convenient. The rooms were clean.

The guesthouse is only a 7 minute walk from the Main Street and also pretty close to Hallsgrimskirkja. Made it very convenient to walk to stores/restaurants and back.

The shared restroom on our floor had a broken toilet seat, which made it a little uncomfortable to use. The shower also only had body wash, so it was a little odd having to use that for my hair.

The hotel is very well located, few minutes away walking to the city center.

Location

The room we booked was occupied by other guests, we had to move to their room which is considerably smaller, since we booked 3 people room and theirs was for 2. The shower was not working on the floor we stayed. The owner refused to respond to my email or messages.

Great location

No cups, glasses or anything (in listing it says kitchenette). There is a fridge and a water heater but of limited use without any cups or glasses to drink from.

Clean. Location. Plenty of room.

Would have liked a cup in room to make drinks.

Close to everything

No email about code for the door or room number

The location was excellent, check in instructions were easy and the host had excellent communication.

The toilet seat in the bathroom was broken. The facility doesn’t look like the photos and is a bit more dated, but that’s just me being nit-picky.

Booked at last minute due to a flight issue It was close to the bus station and downtown Very clean

Wifi was hit and miss

Great location. The owners left us clear instructions how to check in and the room was very comfortable. The interior was a little dated but at least it was clean.

I wrote a review here for the lack of a kitchen despite their page showing the word kitchen and an icon of an oven - things that one may think suggests the existence of a kitchen. I received a comment back from the owner which to me read as condescending and showing that they quite clearly are disinterested in listening to the needs and views of their customers, particularly when these stem from small misunderstandings. I have stayed at many places across Iceland, often with very understanding and hospitable hosts, but this property is at the bottom of the list. I personally would not recommend staying here.
