Freyja Guesthouse & Suites

Trust all the other reviews - this place is a true gem. Lovely staff, super cosy vibe and location couldn't be better as a base for exploring Reykjavik or indeed the neighbouring areas! We especially loved the deal they had with an amazing bakery around the corner, where Freyja guests received a discount. It meant we could take a slow morning with our buns, the free smoothie and coffee in the kitchen. Also the mattress is probably the comfiest I have ever slept on - have been looking to buy it for home! Overall this guest house is one of the best deals in the city!

I missed a connecting flight and didn't get in to Reykjavik until after midnight. Ingo, the host, was really responsive with communication and gave me a free rroom upgrade. He offered to be contacted even in the wee hours of the morning if I had trouble with the self-check in. This was very reassuring in what was a stressful situation. The bed and the pillows were really comfortable and I could recharge devices. There was a complementary mango smoothie in the kitchen as well which was lovely. While my stay was very short due to flight delay and tour at 8:30 the next morning, it was also close to the rainbow road and looked out at the Lutheran Icelandic church. Great central location for walking.

Staff was so nice and the facilities were great to have and use! Smoothies were a nice add. The rooms were perfect temperature and bathrooms at every floor were great and I didn’t have to wait to use. Viewing lounge on top floor was best add to have a second place to spend time. Great location within walking distance of food and shops and pick up stops for tours! Would stay again! Breakfast next door was very yummy and baristas were nice

great location! wonderful bed. the mango smoothies and chocolate lemon cake were delicious. i was a bit concerned about the shared bathroom facilities, but they worked fine with three bathrooms for ten rooms. everyone was very conscientious about leaving the shared space clean. parking on the street was not an issue.

What a quaint guesthouse. We stayed in room 103 on the first floor with a queen bed, which was very comfortable. The WC was right next to our room. The kitchen was 2 rooms down the hall. In the kitchen, you will find a smoothie assigned to your room every morning. They offer cake as a snack. This guesthouse consists of 3 floors, with the 3rd floor being set up as a game room/observatory room that has 4 windows that open upward. They offer snacks, coffee, and tea on an honor system in this room. Their staff was super helpful. Quick check in very quickly. They held our luggage while we explored the city. My luggage was delayed; they offered to be on the lookout for it and place it in our room while we were on our tour. Our room was very clean. I twisted my ankle on an excursion. We contacted the office in the morning about how to go about getting medical help. Again, they held our luggage while the owner himself gave me a ride to the nearest hospital. This guesthouse is located very close to Bus Stop 8, which is one of the Bus Stops for the Flybus that can bring you from the airport to the hotel. It is also very close to downtown Reykjavik. There you can find many restaurants, bars and shops. Freyja is a guesthouse, not a hotel. You will share a bathroom with other guests on the same floor. The 2nd floor has its own bathroom. We were very contend and happy with our stay at Freyja and when we can return to Reykjavik, Iceland Freyja will be our home away from home.
