On road parking, free always found a space. Check-in out of hours was easy with key left for us.

The property was very clean, the rooms comfortable. The owners were helpful and on site. There was a sweet little lounge upstairs and outside seating. Very convenient to downtown Rekyjavik but also very quiet.

8/10 Very good

I think it's a good hotel at a very good price. However, please note that the shower rooms and toilets are shared on the same floor.
Noritaka, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was smaller than what I expected, but there are common areas if you want to lounge in a more spacious area. Since I was on the go every day, the smallness wasn't much of an issue. The kitchen was fully equipped. Each floor's bathroom was furnished with soap, shampoo, and fresh towels daily. Staying warm was not a problem (I visited in early October): The bed was well made and the room was at a comfortable temperature, in fact it could get too warm, but I could remedy that by opening the window. I had a view of the famous Hallgrimskirkja. It was just one street over, which was extremely convenient as it is a major stop for tour companies and shuttle buses. It would take me just a little over five minutes to walk there. The neighborhood was a delight to walk around. I discovered a well-stocked grocery store close by too. This accommodation is self check-in and check-out. I only by chance met someone associated with the guesthouse (the proprietor?) when I first arrived. Otherwise, guests are on their own.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our February stay at Freya. The room was so cozy and quiet. The shared bathroom was just outside the room and worked out fine. It was nice to have access to a kitchen, and the complimentary smoothies and cake were a personal touch. The location was great for us...near shopping and restaurants.
Michele, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would stay there again, with a private bathroom!

Very clean. Friendly helpful staff. Only a block from Hallgrimskirkja, the church with the huge tower. Good restaurants nearby. Easy self-parking. Nice shared kitchen. Only 2 electrical plug-ins in the whole room which was inconvenient. My wife did not like the shared bathroom, but that was my fault for booking it!

Very comfortable guesthouse with kind and helpful owner and staff. Spacious and clean room with comfortable beds. Great location as it's within walking distance to the iconic church, main shopping street and many restaurants.

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that Freyja Guesthouse offers twin rooms, great for solo travelers. Very convenient to the bus station, Reykjavík airport, shopping & attractions. The viewing room on the top floor was a peaceful place to relax, and the guest kitchen with complimentary Nespresso and breakfast smoothie was an awesome amenity!
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Freyja Guesthouse was lovely!

Freyja Guesthouse was lovely! I loved the small touches like the fresh cake and smoothies put out every day, and the coffee. Everything was very clean, and the location was incredible, just about a 5 minute walk to the top of rainbow street. Would definitely stay here again.

John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely guesthouse, very clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. Because of delayed flight we were exhausted on arrival but our smiling host offered us an upgrade and recommended a great restaurant serving local cuisine within walking distance. So even though we had a shorter visit than planned the helpful hosts did there best to improve our stay. Highly recommend.

The lady who checked me in was extremely friendly and gave me tips on where to eat, coupons, etc. My room and the common areas were very clean. The location is very close to Hallgrímskirkja and a short walk to rainbow road.

Lovely older house in a great location, near but separated from the hubbub. And Hallgrimskaya towering behind the house.
