Grettir Guesthouse Reviews

An adorable guesthouse. Edda is a total sweetheart with loads of insider tips to help you in oft-overwhelming Iceland. The privacy was extremely welcome after staying in an 8-bed hostel for a week, and the wonderful kitchen helped us save $$ in a place where food can quickly become prohibitively expensive. My only gripe is that it's literally 10 yards from Reykjavik Backpackers' outdoor patio, so if you're here for the prospect of peace and quiet, it can get very noisy late at night.

I would definitely recommend Grettir Guesthouse to the budget conscious travel looking for a convenient, friendly and nice place to stay. My friend and I shared a double bed in our room, and paid a few dollars more than our friends at Backpackers just in front of GG after they rented linens. The staff was wonderful and uber-attentive, and you're smack in the middle of downtown Reykjavik!

We loved Grettir House! Everything was clean and the bed was very comfy. We even went back a couple nights later. Edda was extremely helpful with recommendations for things to do and places to eat around town. Highly recommended!

i would go back

fantastic location right in the middle of the town centre, 10-15 minute walk to the harbor. cheap supermarket down the street for groceries, adequate cooking facilities in the house. great private guesthouse, definitely would recommend this place. only thing is that it is not along the main road (but very easily accessible) so when you want a dropoff/pickup just say Reykjavik Backpackers hostel which is right in front of it.

Amazing guest house! Edda was extremely friendly, and provides a beautiful place to stay!! Right in the heart of downtown rvk!

Guest house needs to: - get a curtain in the bathroom! - get a bathroom mat since it gets wet on the floor - keep noise from other guests down at night - put up a sign on the main street so it's easier to find there
