This property was central to everything in Reykjavik. The guesthouse has thin walls and was kind of confusing to find, but it’s a decent place to stay for a day or two.

Nice place to plop down at

Centrally located. Near pretty much everything in Reykjavik. No frills, it's a bed for plopping down on after touring and sightseeing. Breakfast is good.

Guest House Aurora is nice

This is a place near city center in Reykjavik so very convenient. It’s a no frills place to plop down for sleeping and no more. One nice thing is the breakfast they provide in the morning to start your day.

Picked this guesthouse for location, it's 200m from the big church in Reykavik, and downtown so it's perfectly situated. Dealing with property beforehand was challenging, they aren't great with replying to any emails I sent before our arrival. Room was fine and we shared bathrooms with other rooms in the guesthouse. Lots of rooms sharing few bathrooms. It did have a kitchen we could cook meals so that was good. I didn't like that it didn't seem to get cleaned during our two night stay. The garbage can in the shared kitchen and bathrooms were overflowing and never got emptied in our stay. It seems Guesthouse Andrea is part of a larger group owned guesthouses, at least three different buildings managed together. Breakfast was served for all guesthouses at a one location, so we had to go around the corner for breakfast, which was always super crowded and noisy and lining up for food. Lots of food, just had to wait in a line up. Staff wasn't super friendly, not like other guesthouses we stayed in during our trip in Iceland. Not that they were rude, just not super friendly. Finally parking, part of the reason I picked this Guesthouse was that it advertised parking included. What it neglected to mention, until I was arriving at the destination, was that the free parking meant street parking. So yes free parking, if you could find it. We had to circle the neighbourhood a couple times to get spots. So a bit misleading I thought.

The first room with double bed was so small you could barely turn around. The second with trim beds had much more room. Breakfast is minimal. Nothing hot.

Highly Recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Andrea! The room was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our needs (a family of three). The breakfast served each morning was delicious. The location was very convenient in that it was within easy walking distance of many areas we wanted to see in the city. It's also not far (about a ten-minute walk) from the BSI Bus Terminal, which is where the Flybus and our tours departed from. What's more, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and happy to help, especially when our flight arrived early and we needed our room earlier than planned. We highly recommend Guesthouse Andrea. If we ever return to Reykjavik, which I hope to do, I plan to stay here again!

A bit noisy but in general okay!

The hotel is a bit noisy at night, we can hear people walking and cooking and cleaning around mid-night, so couldn't sleep well. But the bathroom is nice for shower, and the guy at reception was helpful :)

Parking is free but very rare to find. The rooms were very basic and at street level with the heads of the beds against the window which was rather hard to stop sunlight getting in (21h of sunlight, 3 hours of dusk at best). So perhaps thicker curtains would be helpful. Breakfast was really good and had a large selection. Our kitchen came with utensils and plates. The bathroom was small but got the job done. However i didnt like that the back door was always open and had workers doing jobs in the backyard. Overall its a beautiful city and you can easily walk to the downtown core in 10 mins. Nice place to stay if you just need somewhere to sleep and place all your luggage. My girlfriend and i enjoyed our stay here!
