레이캬네스 게스트하우스(Reykjanes Guesthouse)

We were in room 1 - it was very large. Two sofas three bedrooms three bathrooms and a large kitchen. The warm air hit us as we walked in the door - very nice. No awful sprays or other bad odors. It was just what we needed including a washing machine to clean the baby clothes. I recommend staying here. It is a very practical and comfortable place. Papa’s pizzas and fish and chips is near and has good food. Other sights are close by and not busy.

Escape the average Reykjavik/Keflavik experience without losing convenient access to both. Loved this Guesthouse! Ultra-simple, fast, hassle free check-in. Helpful, attentive unobtrusive hosts. Nicely and economically appointed kitchen/common area and 3 separate, private, single baths in the “shared” space. The rooms were dark (visited 2 days after Summer solstice) and beds comfortable. Charming town (Grindavik) that happens to be the closest settlement to the Blue Lagoon (7-10 minute drive). Grindavik is on the coast with a lovely harbor and adjacent walking, biking, driving trail that includes a lighthouse and wrecked ship(s) “graveyard”. Travel the main route either 10 miles north or south of town and be treated to ocean cliffs, lighthouses, stunning vistas, lava fields, free range goats, movie (Eurovision) locations and more while still being half-hour out of Reykjavik or the airport. Fair and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

We didn’t know where to take the trash. Also, maybe offer fans to people. There was a couple of warm nights (we like to sleep cold). Overall, excellent.

This guesthouse is in a converted storefront, which means it has a lot of space, which is great, but is also a bit awkward (for example, the the massive open shower in one of the bathrooms) and rather shabby (e.g. broken drawer in the kitchen, holes in the bedsheets). It was rather disappointing for the relatively high price and the owners/management are hard to get a response from about questions. It is in easy reach of the airport and the Blue Lagoon, but the town of Grindavik itself is rather gritty.

Interesting property convesion to a guesthouse, but it works. Worked great for a family of 5.

The place is clean and adequate for a one night stay before heading to the airport. Communication is all done through email and the hosts seemed nice and respond quickly, but you will never see them and they are not present at the hotel. The hotel is listed with 3 stars. Personally, I think that's a little generous. There was body wash and shampoo in only one of the three shared bathrooms. The pillows were so lumpy and should absolutely be replaced. Instructions are left indicating to put your towels in the laundry basket and to wash/dry/put away any dishes that were used during your stay. It had the feel of a hostel rather than a hotel. Maybe this is normal for Iceland, but I think future guests should be aware when booking.

Very unique property. We used it for our last day in Iceland .

Our family stayed one night as we were coming back from visiting the southern part of Iceland. The area is quiet and beautiful and the beds were comfy.

The room is certainly great for the price. Lots of room, clean, right in the heart of Grindavik. Walkable to the shore and to most of the town. My only critique was the communication. There is no front desk and email was a bit spotty as I had limited Wi-Fi being an international traveler. As I was not traveling by car and had to rely on the limited bus schedule, it was hard for me to time my arrival for the strict check in and check out times. That is usually not an issue if bag storage is an option, but it did not seem to be. I had to hang around the spot next door for 2 hours waiting for check-in instructions instead of exploring the town. I want to emphasize that this was a minor setback in an otherwise fine stay. The room was everything I needed and certainly worth the price.
