Reviews of Eric the Red Guesthouse

Cozy little basement room with washroom included. Nice decoration.

Some stains on bedding and chair

Great location, right opposite the Hallgrímskirkja church and about a 15 minute walk away from rainbow street. We stayed here for 2 nights and since it was a weekend we could park for free opposite the building in the church parking lot. The entire house is very cozy, warm and clean. The kitchen is well equipped, the house also had a nice dining room. Our rooms were sufficiently spacious with an attached bathroom We had read from reviews that the water in the washrooms smell of sulphur and this was the case, since we already knew about it we really didn’t mind it and honestly it added to the charm of this place. The washroom was good for us but some people may find it a little small We really loved our stay here, thank you for having us !

The location is quite good for access to just about everything-tour vans, restaurants, museums etc

Location was excellent. Walking distance to town centre and even parking for our rental car. Facilities were clean and comfortable. Friendly atmosphere

The apartment was near the center, but fairly quiet. We stayed our last night out of 10 that were mostly in hostels/huts and were able to do laundry and regroup after 6 days hiking. The kitchen was compact and perfect for our needs. The host was generous with supplies like shower soap, extra food/drinks & laundry soap.

Nothing negative. Except naming this adjacent property “Eric the Red” was confusing as we walked past another, maybe the primary, Eric the Red guest house a couple blocks away. When we selected “rooms”, we were actually selecting among several properties instead of one location. This could have caused problems if your group were larger.

Fantastic Stay at Eric the Red Guesthouse I had a wonderful time at Eric the Red House! The room was beautifully decorated with truly authentic furniture, and both the room and the dining area were arranged with great taste 😍 The entire place was immaculately clean. The shared shower room was also a highlight—it was very large and pristine when I first used it. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook and enjoy a meal. The host was very nice and responsive - he kindly allowed us to take a shower after running the marathon, even though we had already checked out of the room ☺️ Overall, a lovely, clean, and charming place to stay. I highly recommend it!

Convenient location

Communal bathrooms. Parking was challenging during festivals.

Our room was beautiful, as was the whole house. It was incredibly clean and well maintained, and in a fantastic location.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Location, very private, great balcony overlooking the city center. Everything we needed and delightful and very accommodating hosts???

Bit of an uphill walk to the main guest house.

The room is very clean and spacious. It had everything you need. And I had a nice conversation with one of the staff. He is very warm and kind. I will come back next time.

I wish the pillow is harder.

Nick was wonderful host

The bathroom is small and the layout is awkward. We are seniors so this was a bit difficult for us. The entire unit was immaculate.

Bathroom

Very near to city center, very good organisation

Nice house, comfortable rooms and caring staff, very convenient location
